Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.
Margaret D. Nadauld
I didn't plant a garden this year due to our cross country odyssey, but I did plant some goodies in a pot. One of my favorites is mint. I add it to my water bottle, salads, pasta and of course, sandwiches.
This is one of my favorites:
Drain cucumber on cheesecloth. Mix cheese mint & chives. Spread on bread. layer cucumbers lasagna styl on top of spread. Add top slice of bread, press firmly.
These are terrific for a picnic, high tea or just making everyday lunch special.
Lunches have been a struggle for me. Its only in the last few years that I really paid attention to eating better, and setting a good example for my son.
In high school, I alternated between starving myself and junk food.
I never learned healthy eating habits until I was well into adulthood. I took a nutrition class offered by my gym, and got the low down on eating better.
However, old habits die hard, and I still have healthy eating issues. I want my son to eat healthy and if I am eating junk, that’s not being a role model. Why should he have
carrot sticks
if I have potato chips?
I bring my lunch to work, and its not only less expensive but its better for me too! I have 5 go to lunches, that are yummy and definitely never boring.
