The sweet pickles were a nice treat, but my Hubs prefers dill pickles. I’ve been saying I need to look for a recipe, but I’ve had zero time! But today I got a copy of Taste of Home magazine and there on page 35 of the June/July issue is a refrigerator dill pickle recipe! Sweet!

Eric and I are going to start the South Beach Diet on Saturday. We’ve been toying around with the idea for awhile and it really seems to be dovetailing in well with my desire to feed the kids less processed foods. I’m trying to remain optimistic about it.

I’ve been sick for a few days. Not so much that I must be in bed 24/7 but just enough to make me miserable and depressed.
~~~~~~
On the plus side, when I’m sick I have more opportunity to knit. I finished the sleeves of my sweater and am only 2.5 skeins away from being done!! Still love it and can’t WAIT to wear it! I also figured out who is due a Christmas stocking and started one of them.

I haven’t subscribed to Taste of Home magazine in quite awhile….it’s really different! In fact, they have advertisements now!! When did that happen?!

I have ordered all my curriculum for our homeschool year 2009/2010. We still needed J2’s math and our science book. One blessing: since I delayed buying J2’s math at the beginning of the summer, they started to sell it differently. I was able to order exactly what I needed and save $30!!
I’m not responsible for J1’s homeschool curriculum, and we haven’t heard from the teacher yet. That makes me nervous, but I keep reminding myself it’s not my job to worry about it!
I love sweet pickles 🙂
I have the South Beach Diet book, but have never tried it. I look forward to hearing how it goes with you.
Feel better soon.
Yeah for being done with ordering curriculum! I place my final orders tomorrow. I’m getting some fun stuff from Timberdoodle, so the boys keep asking when it’s coming.
Wow! How do you keep all these plates spinning? I am thankful that you do! Hope you feel better real soon.
Sorry to hear that you’ve been sick!!! Hope you’re feeling better.
We’re not done buying school books yet either… All these camping trips Joe planned aren’t helping either. *sigh*
Here’s praying that we can buy everything before school starts!
to reduce processed food in my home I started using an Organic Produce delivery company. They are local and use biodisel to deliver it. We save money by not being lured into an extra bag of chips because we go to the grocery store less. We also have fresh organic fruits and veggies in the house all the time now. It is the best thing and I’ve been losing 2 lbs a month consistently for 6 months now. Good luck with the weight loss
