Did you observe Earth Hour last night? It’s nice to be part of a global effort to bring attention to climate change issues. We’re all part of the same planet and need to work together to solve the problem.
Of course, it wasn’t a stretch to go without using energy for an hour that late in the evening for Mr. Boomer and I … even if it is a Saturday.
I caught up on my reader subscriptions from the past week and have picked the favorites. Enjoy!

Thanks for the include! I’ve actually been good this week and haven’t ate out at all! I know I have a lunch date coming up next week, but other than that I hope to keep the pace going and cook and eat at home more often!

Lakita, I struggle with the eating out issue. Cooking a meal is often the last thing I want to do after a day at work.
We kind of resolved it by eating frozen meals more often. Maybe it’s not as healthy as cooking from scratch, but it’s cheaper than eating out.
Thanks for mentioning the post. I appreciate it.

I’m with Boomer on the whole “not wanting to cook after a long day at work”, so my husband and I compromise like I’m sure many other people do. We buy sauces and marinates that are pre-made and in some cases meats that are pre-seasoned. Then our cooking time really only involves chopping fresh vegetables or a few toppers to accent the main course. It cuts down on our prep-time, allows us to work in fresh vegetables, is probably slightly healthier than frozen meals – although frozen meals are my staple at lunch everyday at work – and lastly is less costly than eating out.
SD Kevin, good way to work in the veggies. That’s something we struggle with at home. Thanks for the strategy on how to cut down on frozen dinners.
