Anyway, after reading the blogs of fashionable mormon mothers, I felt inspired to write a new post. I wish I was half as fashionable as them and had an adorable child or two to take pictures of, but I am not fashionable nor a mother, however I decided I too have things to talk about. Thus, here is my random post. Enjoy!
Jungleboy hates wasting food. He gets very upset at me when I waste food. I, unfortunately, have many weird....habits? quirks? OCD traits? when it comes to food. I am not a picky eater, I like most foods, but I am picky in other ways. I am very picky with textures and smells. If food smells weird to me I have a very hard time eating it. Jungleboy on the other hand isn't so picky. Though a few of my favorite foods (peanut butter, barbecue sauce, deviled eggs) he doesn't enjoy. However, today I had a breakthrough. I am notorious at my house for buying salad and letting it go bad.... but today I finished my bag of spinach! And I was super impressed with myself!
I also finished the frozen strawberries, the protein juice and BANANAS!! I am also very bad at letting bananas go to waste seeing as once they aren't at least half green, I can no longer eat them plain. I know I could bake them in some delicious banana bread, but lets be honest. I don't bake very often!
Lately, I have been trying to eat better. Trying being the operative word. I have a weakness for McDonalds. There. Its out. I try to avoid it, but I drive by one either way I go home from work. Also, their ads are all over the radio and I recently found a letter from my grandma (who passed away in 1995) and in it she said how much she enjoyed living close enough to come visit me and take me to McDonalds. Thus, I blame her for my love of the Golden Arches. But for the last couple weeks I have been much better. Here are my faves of the last few weeks.
1: Spinach smoothies: I take a handful of spinach, throw in some bananas (yellow bananas even), a handful of frozen strawberries and a juice protein drink I found next to the rice milk at WalMart. I mix it all up in my blender and its so delicious, healthy and you can't even taste the spinach, which personally I love, but probably mixed with fruit it wouldn't be so good!

2: I have been really in to salad (romaine lettuce only) however, we don't have any salad dressing currently, so I have been making my own. A little bit of mustard, a tiny bit of Mayonaise, the juice from half a lime and a tiny dash of sugar. I mix it in a bowl, then throw my salad in and mix it around so all the pieces have a bit of dressing on them. Voila, deliciousness!!
3: Hard boiled eggs. I recently read (in the newsletter at the daycare I work at) that eggs are the best source of protein. They are delicious during breakfast, lunch and dinner!
On to another favorite of mine (the title does say RANDOM post!).
Deseret Industries. For those of you not familiar with Deseret Industries (D.I.) it is a thrift store. Now, some people may have an aversion to wearing other peoples clothes. I however, am more than ok with it. I take it home, wash it, and call it new! My favorite part about D.I.? The other day I went and got 3 pairs of pants and 4 shirts and only spent 24 dollars!! It was awesome.
This concludes my random post. I apologize for its complete and utter randomness. And also for overusing the word random.
