Food Log day 7

This post isn't going to be as long as you'd think, because I forgot to take pictures of A LOT of the meals I cooked or ate out.. My mother in law has been here since Sunday, (Day 7) and I just have been super busy hanging out with her and the kids. 

Let's get started!

DAY 7

BREAKFAST: Sweet Potato Hash

I am so upset, I made the most delicious Sweet Potato hash and I forgot to take my photo!!!!! Everyone loved it so much that they were upset that there wasn't second portions!! It had: 

2 sweet potatoes

onions

mushrooms

peppers

scrambled eggs

cinnamon

After breakfast we decided to head to the Audubon Aquarium and explore NOLA.

We ate lunch at SEED, it was amazing!!

Food Logs Day 5 & 6

These past 2 days have kind of gone by SO fast for me. I was pretty much lucky to remember to eat, I've been really busy. My mother in law is coming into town and staying with us tonight/tomorrow for a few days, so I've been trying to unbox the last of the stuff thats been lingering, and clean up! 

Well, anyways, try not to judge how badly the food choices were, and the poor pictures. :P

Food Log Day 4

Yesterday was not so great, so today I am working a little harder to get creative. I am about to use the last of any veggies I really have, so lets see how far I can get....

My washer stopped working the other day, so the next (this day) I had maintenance workers kind of in my kitchen/ entrance while I was cooking this. I can tell they were drooling because they kept whispering about it. Every time this week that they've been here fixing things I am in the kitchen cooking, so I bet they think all I do is cook!!! :P

Food Log Day 3

BREAKFAST: 

It Works Greens in OJ

I forgot that I had this little jar of Greens and decided to start this up. Greens help your body to Alkalize, Balance, and detox. If you're ever wanting to try It Works products, I am still a distributor, you can check out my website: www.chelseagon.itworks.com 

I have been doing this for a couple days and can't lie, I really feel like I'm flushing my system out. 

Anyways, I am not only drinking that for brekky, I am EATING!

Food Log Day 2

Funny thing this morning, Oliver wanted french fries for breakfast, so I made shredded hash browns for him. Now, this is something I could've ate also but I decided not to have such a high calorie brekky and opted for an experimental option!

All of these are vegan except the breakfast because of the egg :-)

My food log - day 1

I am starting to watch what I eat again guys! This time around I'm not really counting calories a whole lot, but more focusing on what I eat. I am still a vegetarian, so this time around all I am doing is cutting out breads, pastas, dairy (I'm keep greek yogurt in the mix though), and I am allowing myself to enjoy eggs, though only 1 a day if I eat them. Also, I am only drinking water and one glass (8oz) of Orange Juice a day. I'm taking vitamins and some other things as well.

Anyway, I used to use My Fitness Pal to log my food, but honestly that was not enjoyable, nor something that held my attention. So, instead, I am photo logging my meals and anything I consume a day, so that I have actual accountability. I didn't want to post them to my instagram, so I will just do one daily post sharing my meals.

Another thing, I am not trying to create a cook book or recipes, but I will include a little bit about each meal. If you have any questions on brands of things, shoot me an email! I don't mind answering questions!!

Our first Ferry boat into the french quarter.

On Sunday we took a day off from unpacking and hanging out at the house and decided to catch the ferry (that happens to be only a few blocks from our neighborhood), to explore! I was really excited to be able to take the kids into the city without worrying about parking!

We started at the Algiers ferry stop, waited on a ramp that was for strollers/ bikes/ wheelchairs and cars. I believe the first boat that morning ran at 10:30. It was right on time which meant our wait was only about 5 minutes. Once it got there it was pretty quick loading. We bought an all day pass that was $7 and would include the trolly and buses. We weren't sure exactly how long or where we'd end up so it seemed like the right choice, but we honestly could've just used cash and paid the $2 each way to save a few bucks because we didn't use the other 2 transportation options in the end.

The boat ride itself took around 5 minutes, it was SO fast.

This specific post is REALLY long and has a lot of photos. To continue, please click on the "read more".

Dining Room Inspiration + Life Update

Hey everyone! I've been gone for a while from actually blogging anything here and I feel it is time for a change! I haven't been blogging/ pinning/ planning, etc because life has been h-e-c-t-i-c! And when I say hectic, I mean hectic! Life for Dillon and I has always been sort of what we say, "hurry up and wait!" when it comes to the military....
