a healthier us

Okay everyone im getting back into blogging new recipes. Ive had a few requests that I get back into this, so here you go!
We recently inherited a grill from a family member and so naturally we are grilling a few times a week. It makes cooking so much easier seeing as I prep and Doug grills. We love it and of course the dogs love it. They know whenever we walk out back with a plate of food, they will be getting some. (yes we grill extra meat with no seasonings on it for them.) They love it! Atlas hyperventilates and Apache jumps on the counter to see what it is.

Okay on a side not.. Im watching tv as im blogging and there is this perfect meatloaf pan infomercial.. uhh yeah i want it! :)


okay back on track.. so anyways, on thursday for date night, I made grilled chicken fajitas with orange avocado salsa.. YUMMY! and tonight I made Roasted veggie pizza. Also delicious! Each of these meals had plenty of veggies and whole wheat crusts or tortillas. We are eating healthier this month. I make fresh fruit smoothies every morning which are I think the best breakfast. We went on a nice long walk with the doggies. (picture of them pooped afterwards) We excersize regularly and well for me atleast limit my caffiene intake.. so no more several sweet teas a day... Doug on the other hand cant seem to stop having 3 pops a day. (yes niki i said pop. ;) )

antsy

I want to pack up all of our stuff, move into a home, and unpack everything and organize. I want to deep clean like never before. Yes I know im crazy.. I love doing that stuff. Keeps my mind off of other things. Its relaxing to me. The only problem is.. it isnt possible at this time and that disappointments me. Im antsy. I want something to change. With all the times we have put offers down on houses and looked and never found one we liked, or saved up money for a down payment and then it get wiped out with something else.. it feels like a home is not in our near future. We have a nice apartment, in a good area. Im thankful for that. But is it just me or are all the questions we are asking.. the answers seem to be no..
