Summer's Here!

One of the best things about being a teacher is that we get the summer off! Woohoo! Officially the students were off on Wednesday, but teachers are still packing up and cleaning up. I am hoping to be done by next week. Now I really don't have any excuses. I have time on my hands to kill (HAHAHA! Yea right!) Mommy duties are priority, but I WILL be going to the gym. Like I said in my first blog post, I have to learn to put time aside for myself so I will. I have some time until we leave for vacation, but hopefully I will be in a routine and will continue while we are away. I am looking forward to a lot of walking while we are away.

June was a bit tough. There were lots of stress due to report cards and tons of planning for end of the year things, so YES I admit I overate and had one too many starbucks fraps. Hubby and I are now doing shakes for breakfast and one with lunch. I have time to cook healthier dinners too! Woohoo for having time to make dinner from scratch and not a box (or from a restaurant!) I have been hooked on Pinterest and have some recipes that I've been waiting to do.

Here is a Broccoli Salad recipe but I substitute Greek Yogurt for the mayo.

This is shake recipe that I want to try, but I don't know where to get powdered matcha... does anyone know?

I can't wait to blog about all the freshly grilled seafood and veggies from the beaches in a few weeks!

More recipes to come soon!
