Weekly Meal Prep

So with the start of a new year, my goal is to lose a little weight and eat healthier. So in order to keep myself on track, I decided to start doing weekly Meal prep. When you have a baby, you tend to grab whatever is quick and easy, which are not always the healthiest choices.  By doing meal prep on Sundays, I have a weeks worth of breakfast, lunches and salads for dinners.
This week I made strawberry /banana smoothies for breakfast.
. . . .  RECIPE. . . .  -  3 bananas, 2 cups of strawberry /banana yogurt, milk.
For lunch I made Chicken with Zucchini, onions and peppers for delicious chicken wraps.
I made salads to go with dinner all week.  And 1 Greek cucumber salad.
. . . . RECIPE. . . .  -  cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, olive oil, feta cheese.

DIY Coasters

Every year for Christmas I struggle with what to get for my parents and Grandparents.  They all have everything and are seriously hard to shop for.  So I enlist the help of Pinterest and search for DIY gifts.  I like to make gifts for people anyway, because I feel that a homemade gift means more than buying something from a store.  Since we had Aria, making gifts became so much easier. Grandparents and Great-Grandparents love to get stuff with her sweet little face on it!

So this year I made each of them a set of coasters. Super cute and very inexpensive to make. I bought 8 ceramic tiles in Home Depot.  I printed 8 different pictures of Aria on my home printer. I mod-podged the pictures onto the tiles and put 2 layers of mod podge on top as well to seal them.  Total cost for all 8 coasters - 8.00

They came out great!  I will be making a set for our house as well.
