Happy New Start!

Well it's a new year and the perfect time to make some goals! As cliche as it is, I really want to get in better shape, which has always been an up hill battle for me! So I thought if I start with baby steps it might be less painful! I realized that one of my biggest problems is that Ryan and I have very different schedules, making it hard to have meals together. And lets face it cooking for one person is not all that fun, matter of fact I hate it! Heck I don't even really enjoy cooking for two people, It's hard! There are very few recipes that allow you to cook for just two. All of our left overs seem to get put into a tupperware, shoved in the back of our fridge, I end up finding  it weeks later, and I have to clean it out wearing a hazmat suite! With that being said I find that I myself am more of a "snacker"! I don't really need to sit down and have a full meal I much rather just grab something out of the fridge or cabinet and eat it. The problem with this, is that things that are easy to grab, are things like...Ice cream, Crackers, fruit snacks, that bag of year old chocolate I keep hidden, well no sense of embarrassing myself any further, you get the idea! So, I decided to make a whole container of healthy snacks that are ready to go!

It all fits cute in my fridge!

Plain Greek yogurt with some Truvia

Cut up mozzarella cheese (much cheaper then buying string cheese)

Black olives

Non-fat cottage cheese

Blackberries

Snow peas, baby carrots, multi-grain crackers, and prunes!

  1. Such a good idea! I have thought about doing this too but have never actually done it. You are inspiring me to start though :)
