I generally manage to stick to my healthy eating and exercise goals, but I do surrender to my cravings and can become lazy during PMS. <br /><br />If I could add one appliance to my kitchen it would be a food dehydrator to help make my own healthy snacks.Erin Hermanskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115403937947488617.post-62801278069458718202011-09-14T09:06:47.510-04:002011-09-14T09:06:47.510-04:00i'm always a fan ;)

I found your page on fb, so I'm a fan!<br /><br />My curret struggle in the kitchen is finding energy to cook a variety of food b/n working evening shifts, having a toddler, and being pregnant!<br />My appliance of choice would be a dehydrator! <br /><br />Your chickpea crouton substitute looks awesome!joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980505552375789371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115403937947488617.post-77114596209369111302011-09-09T09:43:52.456-04:002011-09-09T09:43:52.456-04:00Good morning!

I really want Trenton to have a healthy lifestyle (Trent's my six-year old son) but Grandma and Grandpa watch him when I'm playing Officer Tia and will also have him when I deploy. <br /><br />Growing up, we lived on a lot of frozen food and processed products. Now that I'm almost grown up, Trenton and I buy all of our food products for the week at the market (I do sometimes believe in some frozen vegetables and fish filets). When my parents watch him, however, they clearly do it for free and are taking time away from their busy schedules to take care of him. I find it difficult to tell them what to feed him. He and my dad have imitation crab dates and grandma buys every pastry in the store. While I think treats are just fine in moderation, I'm not sure how to handle this other than packing him food for their house, which they find insulting. End rant (but you asked!)<br /><br />My dream kitchen appliance is a good food processor. Maybe I'll splurge on Black Friday this year!Tia Nicholenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115403937947488617.post-71638685031130653862011-09-08T17:45:27.465-04:002011-09-08T17:45:27.465-04:00YaY for giveaways & your ladies inspiration!
...YaY for giveaways & your ladies inspiration!<br /><br />I think the hardest struggle to be healthier is the cost. Thankfully I married a guy who also wants to be healthier & we've agreed that spending a little more money on healthier foods is a life-long worthwhile investment. However, living on student loans still & both of us being in school it's some times hard to justify. I really like my pasta for a quick easy meal. <br /><br />As for adding an appliance I think it would be a salad spinner. Does that count as an appliance? We just got married 2 months ago so we have appliances we haven't had a chance to use just yet with moving & transitioning into life in the North-woods of MN.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09117192482106029651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115403937947488617.post-86611719670894234732011-09-08T17:00:06.749-04:002011-09-08T17:00:06.749-04:00I made your granola bars before you posted this, a...I made your granola bars before you posted this, and they were yummy so they're all gone and I can't take a picture!<br /><br />Biggest struggle: Avoiding stupid snack cravings, not eating pasta every meal<br />Appliance: Rice cooker, since every time I try to make rice on the stove it's either too mushy or overcooked.Joehttp://facebook.com/jrsthethirdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115403937947488617.post-60277229770946413912011-09-08T12:42:43.097-04:002011-09-08T12:42:43.097-04:00I'm like BFFs with your facebook page.

But almonds are calorie dense. So when i buy almonds I open the package and immediately weigh them into 100 calorie servings.<br />I'm not in the acquisitions mode of kitchen appliances... WAIT, if I could get a bread machine that only worked 2 times a month, I would... but everyone I know who gets a bread machine gains weight, so...gba_gf https://www.blogger.com/profile/12162567892978000635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115403937947488617.post-45892127121169339112011-09-04T22:50:12.854-04:002011-09-04T22:50:12.854-04:00i can't believe i'm fortunate enough to sa...i can't believe i'm fortunate enough to say this, but i want for nothing regarding kitchen appliances. but i still struggle when eating out. it is so easy to order the fried food that is addictive and tasty and so, so bad for me!melpmoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334258569481471754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115403937947488617.post-71360298084352796682011-09-04T19:43:44.475-04:002011-09-04T19:43:44.475-04:00Our school year is about to start which means the ...Our school year is about to start which means the need for healthy on-the-go snacks. Why do they call is homeschooling if we're never at home?? Anyway, I seriously need the recipe for those granola bars. By the way, I was eating apple chips when "I" was in elementary school. I was never a fan of potato chips but when your grandmother found apple chips, I was a very happy camper!

I love having my own space, but buying and preparing healthy meals for one can sometimes be expensive and overwhelming. I like variety, so preparing a lot of one dish and then having to eat it three times a week isn't so appealing. Plus, there's no built in person to motivate me to go to the gym, which has always helped me live a healthier lifestyle.<br /><br />I'm coveting KitchenAid stand mixers and all of their related attachments. Why does a girl have to get married to get a nice mixer?!♥ juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993546808615628776noreply@blogger.com
