Does the moon affect your mood?

I don’t know about you but I’ve always felt that the moon does play a big role in how we feel… I truly believe we are more connected than a lot of science can prove. I see it in my kids too.

Mama’s Old-Fashioned Green Beans

I know that we eat green beans a lot around here and often I mention them with our meal plans but it just occurred to me that I’ve never posted the recipe that we use most often.

Monday

I know last week I posted 35+ Freezer Meals In One Day! where I did give a couple of updates like Ms. Bella’s birthday:

Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

I got this recipe from a good friend and my family loves it. It is an easy way to get the kiddos to eat their veggies! Sometimes I like to throw in a shake of red pepper flakes too! Continue reading “Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus”
