Learning to take my own advice

One of the suggestions in my last post was to cook your meals ahead of time. Well I did just that this weekend. It makes it so much easier to put a meal together. I made chicken and rice, meatballs, bbq ribs, chili, baked apples and blueberry muffins. We ate a little and I froze the rest for later. This is such a time saver as it's just as easy to make one batch as it is to make three or four at the same time.

All for now.

Holiday Stress Overload

With the Holiday Season in full swing I thought this would be a good time to offer some stress reduction ideas. Remember, this is a time for family and friends to be together and it should be enjoyable. If it becomes overwhelming, then you need to take a good long look at your situation and start making necessary changes.

Learn to say NO. You do not have to accept every invitation or make an appearance at each and every event. Pick and choose.

Simplify your meals. Cook ahead so you only have to re-heat.

Ask for help. I repeat, ASK for HELP!

Till next time.
