Sorry I haven’t had any new posts in a few days- I’ve been busy getting my shop set up! Check back later tonight (tomorrow morning at the latest) to see what I get done (after I get done with this post I’ll be working on it some more!)

But I wanted to show you what we had for dinner last night- it was declicious! I used Laura’s homemade noodle recipe to make the dough, (you’ll have to buy her e-book to get the recipe! It is very yummy, all whole-wheat flour- all natural! ) and then I used my tortilla press to press out the dough to make the ravioli. It worked great! Then I filled them with a mixture of ricotta, cream & parmesean/romano blend cheeses, and spinach (I just put one fresh spinach leaf in each one.)  I had enough cheese mixture left for another meal planned for this week.

I made my spaghetti sauce with italian sausage and hamburger. I made enough sauce for our dinner, and to make our other dinner this week, plus I have enought meat left to make another batch later. I am enjoying getting the hang of this planning and making meals ahead- it sure makes weeknights easier! 

So stay tuned for more meal planning and the introduction of my new shop! See ya’ later!

I did not realize until last night how much we have changed our eating habits over the last few months. Last night we went to the high-school senior banquet at church. We had lasagna (which was catered by my hubby- yes folks he CAN cook!- it’s part of his job) and Italian bread, salad, green beans and dessert. Well- it didn’t hit me until later last night (as I sat down in the shower so I didn’t pass out because my blood sugar dropped so quickly because I have hypoglycemia)- that there was soooo much processed stuff at that dinner. White flour in the lasagna noodles, white flour bread, white flour & sugar in the cupcakes. It knocked me for a loop last night- and I am still feeling the effects of it now too… Since we’ve been eating more whole grains and unprocessed sugar and such- my blood sugar has been so much more even-keeled.

What a difference it makes to eat whole foods instead of processed junk!  Check back this weekend for the first of my recipes made with good-for-you ingredients!
