Starting the year off right...my family room organization
First, I showed you my office organization for the new year. Next up was my kitchen organization. This week, it's the family room. Here it is after my cleaning and organizing mission, above.
Sure, it's easy to say that you've organized your space, right? But can you prove it? Maybe it just stays clean all the time. I wish.
Here's my scary before picture:

A Menu Planning Challenge, week three
With two weeks of meal planning under my belt, I find I am enjoying the process. Outlining what I want to cook for the week and having all the ingredients available kind of forces me to stick to the plan.
Otherwise, I might be inclined to slack off some nights and make less healthy dinners. In my opinion, half of the struggle with cooking is the daily decision-making.
Last week started off with Monday's Curried Chickpea and Tomato Linguine. I used a recipe from Best Health magazine. It was simple to make and I quite liked the curry flavour combined with the pasta.

Insta-Friday in real life
The weekend's almost here. I hope you all have a good one.
I'm taking a look back at our week using Instagram photos. Follow me on Instagram @ziajojo if you are so inclined.
I took a photo of the banana bread with chocolate chips I made yesterday...just because. I love food.

What I Ate Wednesday...with chocolate peanut butter treats
On Monday, I shared my vegan menu plan for this week. I also showed you photos of some of the dinners I made for last week's plan.
Not wanting to repeat myself this What I Ate Wednesday, I am going to show you some food items that weren't on the plan. Yesterday, I was in the mood for chocolate. The same goes for the day before...and the day before that...
I made my favourite no-bake, chocolate-topped nut butter cereal bars. This time I was out of brown rice syrup so I used agave nectar instead. I added peanuts to the mix just because I had some in the fridge. The problem with these things is that I eat about three of them in one sitting. I'm about to do it again when I finish this very post.

A Menu Planning Challenge, week two

Last week, I created my first weekly menu plan for the year. Before I get to this week's plan, I would like to do a bit of a review of how last week's meals turned out.
I based Monday's Vegan Sausage and Rapini Melt on a sausage on a bun recipe in Chatelaine magazine.

She & Him, 2/52
"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."
She: loves to pose for a photo
Him: would rather talk about Minecraft
I was inspired by Jodi over at Che and Fidel to start a new project this year...taking a photo of each of my children once a week, every week. I am joining the party in week two. I am looking forward to documenting the kids over the year and seeing how much they change and grow.
I would like to create photo books at the end of the year for the kids to keep. They grow up so quickly.
