Food Log Calendar!

***I typed this post last week sometime, and I was going to add links to all the recipes that I have used or posted on this site already, but now I realize that it is just unrealistic for me to find the time!  So, if you find a recipe you are curious about, email me and I will send you the link, if I can.  :-) ***

 I can't believe the month of January is over.  It's crazy.

Anyway, I shared last week about how I keep a food log calendar.  It's the best.  I love it because I can reference it so easily to see what we have eaten recently.  And when I'm having a bad day-- thinking about how I can't feed my family good food, I'm not good at this, I'm not equipped for this, or I don't feel like making dinner tonight!-- I can glance at my calendar and at least feel a little better.

I took a picture of my calendar to show you all, now that January is complete!  Then I thought, you might want to know what it says.  So I thought I would make a list for you too.  :-)  If you want to steal ideas, or if you're curious what we eat, check it out! Or, if you just don't care, you can skip the list too!  :-P

    Cooking notes: I always cook a carrot or two with the lentils. Sometimes I add other things in with the lentils-- one time I browned sausage with the onions and another time I cut up bite sized chicken chunks and threw it in when I put the lentils with the onions. Also, we started using butter and milk and cream-- raw when we can get hold of them-- instead of earth balance and coconut milk. but that is a post all for itself... :-)
