A Blueberry & Mint Dinner (Finally!)

-
Since I went home this weekend, I never got around to making anything with my blueberries and mint, but today for my mini dinner, I did!  My stomach was acting crazy earlier this morning, so I thought the mint would do it some good.  I kinda took the recipe I posted earlier last week as and idea and went with it.  I only had about 20 minutes to make something because I had to be at the desk to work from 9pm to 10pm. (Cheer and Dance camp are in our building this week!)

First I boiled some of my pretty noodles (the colorful kind! haha!)
When the noodles were almost ready, I put a few mint leaves in the water to let the oils cook with the noodles.
I drained the noodles & mint and put them on my plate that I had sprinkled with some shredded cheese (so the warm noodles would melt the cheese).
Then I rinsed some blueberries and sprinkled them over the top of my pasta, and sprinkled a little more cheese on top as well.  That and some cucumber water was a perfect small meal for me.  Some of the cheer coaches came by and asked me what I was eating...I told them, and they said it sounded pretty good! :)

Sorry about the super fuzzy/blurry picture.  I took it with my phone and apparently couldn't hold my arms still...and there's a shadow happening at the same time haha.  Either way, you get the idea!! :)

    That's an unusual combination. What did it taste like? Was it good?

    Yep, turned out good. I had one leaf that I didn't tear up as small as the others and I like them torn up smaller.

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin...

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

-

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
