What a busy Sunday!! I started the day by getting up and making my own breakfast sausage. We fried a couple of eggs and had a great breakfast. Again it felt good not having to get up and go anywhere, I had the day in front of me and a ton of things I wanted to do. Sundays (all two of them) have become "planning days". What should we make to eat this week? I took some time made a grocery list, showered, did laundry, and picked up a little. By that time it was 12:30. Michael and I left to go to Wegmans (yes football was on but we only thought we would be an hour) . Three hours and two Wegmans later we arrived home. I had to run out again of course, guess I was not going to get to watch any football today, all the bad teams won today.
As we were eating our dinner (every Sunday we sit down together since the rest of the week is usually crazy) , our challenge came up in conversation. My older son said something about us being on a weird "diet". I thought about it a little and said it is not weird, we are not eating weird food we are just eliminating certain things from our diet. We are eating very normal regular food, as a matter of fact we are eating better food because most of it is actual food not a bunch of preservatives and chemicals. We have made some pretty big changes in our normal daily routines also because we are cooking at home and not going out to dinner as much (ok at all). It is not affecting the kids at all most of the things I make they can eat by adding a different side or we grab them something from Wegmans or other take out. Yes we are still saving money!! Tonight I made the kids mashed potatoes while we had roasted asparagus and tomatoes with our tenderloin. Awesome dinner by the way .
Back to the breakfast sausage thanks to Mariella' s recipe and the purchase of a food processor yesterday I was able to make the breakfast casserole ( just took it of the oven and is still cooling), I can't wait to have it for breakfast in the morning! Yes of course I tasted it, it tastes great and was really easy. Who knew that shredding sweet potatoes could be so much fun. I can't wait to find another recipe to use my food processor!! I hope the casserole makes it through the week, but as good as it was I expect will be making more in the middle of the week (I shredded enough sweet potatoes to make four casserole) . :-). Will need to make more breakfast sausage, but I'm a pro now.
Weekend two down!!
