I’m pretty darn excited about this book. We have decided to make more of our backyard into garden space. We are trying to grow as much of our own food as we can. Using straw bales seems to be a great way to deal with our not-so-great soil here in South Texas close to the coast. Have you tried it? #strawbalegarden @strawbalegardening #eatyourveggies #knowbetterdobetter

This little guy just started his senior year! It’s hard to believe how fast this time has gone. It’s not been easy but we are grateful for every moment.

I finally remembered to take my own photo of a great meal! I seem to try these great recipes I find online then forget to take a photo until I am most of the way done with the meal.

This #easytexmexblackbeansalad from @frommybowl is the perfect warm summer evening meal. It is easy, healthy, and you can personalize it with more pepper heat or lots of avocado/guacamole (which is what we did). You could also add some grass feed hamburger or free range chicken but then you'd have to heat up the kitchen, so I'm not sure it's worth it since it is already hearty without the meat.

Do you have go-to cool meals for warm summer nights when you don't want to cook? I'd love more ideas!

My sweet boy just got back from @philmontscoutranch last night. I’m so proud of him for taking on a tough challenge & seeing it through. He struggled with altitude sickness along the way too. #scout #boyscoutsofamerica #tripofalifetime

As I work to get as healthy as possible, it seems like my feed is filled with more & more food. I’ve learned that food is the best way to get the nutrients we need every day. If that doesn’t happen then you move to supplements, etc.

This Israeli Salad is going on my repeat list. It is so fresh, so healthy, & tastes amazing! I got the recipe from @downshiftology & I highly recommend!!

It only looks like we live in the country... 😂

It only looks like we live in the country... 😂 Between the rain, spraying with liquid seaweed, & pouring my Thieves Fruit & Veggie Wash water on my garden, it has exploded! We have several little tomatoes, tons of big tomato buds, lots of peppers, & melon plants run amok. It’s beautiful!!

I’m so happy we got this garden in this season & can’t wait to get a second one started in the fall. It is such a great feeling to know where my food is coming from!
