Today is day 4 of this custom challenge and I woke up a bit tired still, so I used that time to sleep a bit longer this morning. I do feel a lot better than yesterday though! I am still drinking coffee with creamer throughout this challenge, as well as having my adult beverages. 🙂…

Day 3 – 75 Day Custom Challenge
Today is the third day of this custom challenge and I woke up not feeling the greatest. Could be many factors… changing what all I am eating, something I inhaled while cleaning the greenhouse yesterday, or something I ate. As the day went on, I did start to feel better. I am still drinking coffee…
Day 2 – 75 Day Custom Challenge
Today was the second day of this custom challenge and I started to feel a bit sluggish earlier, but I feel as if that was from lack of fruit. I had a pretty strong temptation to have one of the cookies with sprinkles on the kitchen table smothered with icing but I chugged some water…
Day 1 – 75 Day Custom Challenge
A friend of mine and I were thinking of something to try to encourage each other, so when the subject was brought up of the 75 Day Soft and Hard Challenges, I was quickly turned off by the challenge to drink socially or eliminate alcohol all together. We then decided to create our own custom…
Potato Leek Andouille Sausage Soup
My fiancé and I had went to a restaurant in Charlevoix recently and we had this amazing potato leek soup. I had never had anything like this before, and we told ourselves we would need to make it at home one day. For some reason, it has been difficult to find leeks – until today!…
Blooming Chicken Quesadilla
As I was browsing Pinterest one day, my better half pointed this out… so I decided to try it out! I made a modified version of it – original is linked below. I will be using the size down from the burrito style next time. The fajita style soft shells are way too small for…
Italian Hoagie Dip
I ran across this recipe and made a modified version of it – original is linked below. I did make some rosemary focaccia bread to go along with this and it turned out amazing! You can also make this into a cold pasta salad as well. If the bread didn’t turn out, that is what…
Homemade Ranch Dressing (Healthy!)
I love ranch dressing – however, I’m always looking for ways to make store bought items at home – especially if I have the ingredients. If you love ranch, definitely give this one a try! Ingredients: 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (I only had low fat, so that’s what I used) 1 tsp dried…
Healthier Spinach Artichoke Dip
I’ve always been a fan of spinach artichoke dip, but have not ever made it myself… until now! I’ll post the original recipe at the bottom, since I did modify a couple ingredients. Ingredients: 8 oz low fat cream cheese (softened at room temperature) 1 frozen bag of spinach (what you see in the picture…
Garlic Parmesan Green Beans
Are you a fan of green beans and have quite a few from the garden to use up? Try this recipe out – especially if you love garlic and parmesan cheese! Original recipe will be posted at the end of this blog post. Ingredients: 1 lb green beans 2 TBSP oil or 4 TBSP butter…
Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Bread
Do you love cauliflower and buffalo chicken? Try this recipe out if so, or if you want to try something new. The recipe for the cauliflower crust came from another recipe, which I’ll post at the bottom. The rest came from my own mind. If you’d like samples of the oils mentioned, please comment or…
Crockpot Venison BBQ Bourbon Meatballs
Last year we were without power for New Year’s Eve, so we made up for the amount of food made this year. These venison bourbon meatballs are from a couple different recipes, but the ingredients I used are found in the link at the end. The one I found the time to cook these in…
