One month ago my life changed… My husband and I found out that Aldi, our favorite grocery store, was now doing home deliveries. Aldi uses a program called Instacart. Basically, this is Uber for your groceries. Each area has a list of approved shoppers and those people take your list to the store andContinue reading “Aldi Delivery”

English Squash Drink
The English do drinks so much better than Americans. One thing I instantly miss when I re-enter my homeland is the delicious and healthy quality of the drinks over in England. From the sports drink, Lucazade, to the delicious juice, Oasis, the British refreshments rank far better than the drink options here in theContinue reading “English Squash Drink”
An Ameri Brit Brunch
There are so many things about England that I wish I could bring home with me. But meat, cheese, cakes, coffees, and people don’t fit well in suitcases and tend to raise red flags when trying to get through TSA. Every year as we settle back into our American life my husband and I alwaysContinue reading “An Ameri Brit Brunch”
Veggie Pizza Appetizer
Last Tuesday night we had our final cLife meeting with our current church group. Next month we will begin a new term and our close knit body will be dispersing in different directions.

Menu Monday: Dinner Quiche

One Pot Quinoa Salad
I’ve really been putting in an effort to eat healthier lately. Over the summer I lived a fairly active lifestyle, but my meal options were sometimes quite a pitfall. There were many days that I traded my healthy home cooked meals for a plate of nachos or pizza because they were convenient while we wereContinue reading “One Pot Quinoa Salad”
My Famous Crockpot Gumbo
Since becoming a mother my Crockpot has become my trusted best friend. It allows me to create healthy meals for my family even when my schedule doesn’t allow for much meal time prep. During the school year my Crockpot is a staple to my menu planning and I utilize it a minimum of once aContinue reading “My Famous Crockpot Gumbo”

Monday Menu: Sausage Skillet Pasta
Oh, Monday how I loathe thee. Mondays seem so taxing sometimes. If you’re anything like me you rush out of the office on Friday afternoons as quickly as possible only to return to work on Monday to a lengthy to-do list. I re-entered my classroom today with a list of tasks like finalize third quarterContinue reading “Monday Menu: Sausage Skillet Pasta”
