Free Download :: Meal Plan Calendar

I have found that the best way to keep track of our meal schedules is to have it written down on something pretty. When it's written in our small note pad, it just doesn't look as nice, you know what I mean? So I have created a meal plan calendar, and I'm going to share it with you today.

 

It's a really simple calendar, but just pretty enough for me to want to use it. Feel free to use it for yourself. You can right-click on the image to save it, or you can click here to download the pdf.

 

Happy meal planning!

 



My new favourite drink.

I found my new favourite drink on the weekend.

After the 5K in the morning, Jeff and I went on a date with a bunch of friends to Skyzone in Mississauga - tons of fun! We are hoping to book a trampoline section for Alexander's next birthday - he loves to jump. The walls were super cool, too; you could bounce off them back onto your square. If you haven't been to a Skyzone before, you will want to go, it's so much fun.

After jumping on a trampoline for about an hour, we drove 20 minutes north to Dave and Busters.

It had the feel and look of a sort of casino/arcade, which was an interesting combination. There was a section of billiard tables, which we didn't play because there was a pretty big line up for those. There was also a dining room section with tons of tables.

We sat in the arcade section, so we were watching people play the games. The food was okay, but the drink I ordered was fabulous! I'm not a huge drinking person, but I certainly could be with this drink! I had never had a fuzzy navel before, and I wanted to try something different from the virgin strawberry daquiri I usually get. I know, I'm so brave and adventurous.

Here is how it was served to me:

1.5 oz. peach schnapps

orange juice

ice cubes

and YUM! I've since seen a lot of recipes add some vodka in it as well, but I'm not a huge fan of vodka, so I'll just stick with how it was served to me before. I plan on having a lot of this on New Year's - granted we actually have or go to a party...

Do you have a favourite drink?

Sweet & Delicious Homemade Lemonade

It's another scorcher out there today!
So to help you cool down, I thought I'd share with you my favourite way to cool down in the heat!

Homemade Lemonade!

It's so refreshing and delicious, I'm sure you will want to try it too! Here's how I made it:

             1. Put 2 tsp sugar in the bottom of the glass.

             2. Cut a lemon in half and squeeze as much juice out of it as you can into the cup.

             3. Stir the lemon juice and sugar together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

             4. Throw in a few ice cubes and the lemon you just squeezed.

             5. Top up the glass with ice cold water.

Voila! You've got the best tasting lemonade you ever had!

(If you taste it and it's too lemony, you haven't stirred it enough.) :)
