Do you and your family eat asparagus on a regular basis? If so, good for you. If not, you should definitely try to add this lovely little vegetable that is jam packed with anti-aging properties into your weekly menu. Asparagus is loaded with potassium and vitamin A. The best part – asparagus has been shown to protect against cancer and slow the aging process. Isn’t this reason enough to have asparagus with your dinner a couple of times a week?
Mr. Sweet Greens prepares asparagus for dinner by quickly heating it in a hot pan with olive oil. It tastes delicious and stays crisp and crunchy.
Do you love asparagus? How do you prepare it? How do you incorporate it into your daily meals?
Eben and I spent the better part of this morning at the dentist office. The reason – Eben chipped part of his left tooth on his stainless steel water bottle Friday afternoon. I have to admit, the thought of his stainless steel water bottle ever being a problem for his teeth never crossed my mind.
Do you think this was just a total bad luck moment? Or have you heard of other children chipping their teeth on stainless steel water bottles?
P.S. After a $165 dentist bill, I may switch him over to a BPA free plastic water bottle – just to be on the safe side!
Happy Halloween Weekend! What are your weekend plans? Do you have your costume ready to go? Are you having or going to a Halloween Bash?
Today is Mr. Sweet Greens birthday. Yay. While Eben is enjoying himself at a fantastic Halloween party at the home of one of his classmates tonight – Mr. Sweet Greens and I will be celebrating his birthday with dinner on the beach. Fantastic.
We plan to wake up bright and early tomorrow to hit our Green Market. Mr. Sweet Greens plans to buy everything that we will need for our dinner menu next week and I can’t wait for the fresh baked breads and cheese. Yum. After the farmer’s market, we are having a birthday luncheon with Mr. Sweet Greens grandparents and aunt. His aunt is preparing the entire meal, what a great way to spend the afternoon.
Mr. Sweet Greens father is staying at our house Saturday night, so he can spend Sunday at the beach with us. Then, the part that Eben has been waiting for all month long – trick or treating with our favorite Florida friends, the Moras.
It sounds like a weekend jam packed with fun, no?
While I wrap up Mr. Sweet Greens birthday gifts, here are a few green things I have wanted to share with you:
– You still have time to make a fun front door bat mat – just use no VOC spray paint please. – This is exactly the reason that I never, NEVER parallel park. {wink} – I really want to stay in a tree hotel. – Looking for a fun Halloween craft? Here are 12. – More cute Buy NothingHalloween costumes.
I hope you enjoy your Halloween weekend. I can’t wait to see you on Monday. Stay safe.
Do you exercise? If so, do you stretch before or after your workout? Stretching before your workout, does little to warm up your muscles, you are better off doing a warm up routine. However, stretching after a workout is an absolute must, it cools your muscles down, is very relaxing and stretching after your workout is also great for improving flexibility.
