Dill Pickle Kale Chips
I picked up another bunch of kale yesterday and figured I would give baking chips a try. I was operating under the (somewhat misguided) assumption that they would be similar to a potato chip and have been craving this kind since I watched my company eat a bag last weekend so I went on a…
Progressions
I’m officially 90ish days into operation Rural Rebel Mama. The changes in my quality of life and self esteem are amazing. I am proud of things I’ve done so far on my journey to full life health, and I’m confident that the next 90 days are ones I am going to be proud of too.…
Layers
I threw on a sweater this morning that I bought at my very heaviest, right around 9 months pregnant with my son. It’s basically a blanket with sleeves and I thought it did a great job of hiding me completely so I could continue pretending that I was invisible as I waddled my pregnant (and…
Three Months In!
I never saw myself as someone who would take progress pictures often, let alone be sharing them with people on the internet. But there is a lot to be said for embracing new things that might be out of your character when you are trying to make a BIG change. Hiding myself in the middle…
Timing
You know when you meet someone and you sense, nearly immediately, that you are going to like them? And although you’re tentative at first it doesn’t take long for you to warm up and slip into a comfortable rhythm with conversation and confession, almost like you’ve been waiting for them to arrive at just that…
Goals
I’ve been thinking a lot about goal setting since I started my youtube channel last week (pop in if you haven’t yet)! I have a few goals that were easy to come up with, they include: – Looking awesome in a pair of women’s premium denim. This is one place in my wardrobe that I don’t…
Gratitude
It seems so cliche to say that this is way of moving and eating that is going to change my life. But there it is again anyway. In fact, this project RRM is changing my life right before my eyes by the day. That is what we are all searching for on this journey right? The…
Self Talk
Two entries in one day what? Unfortunately I felt that this topic deserved an entry of its own, and I imagine it will actually be the first of many that talk about this. What compelling and engaging topic could I possibly feel warrants this much attention you ask? Self talk. Sexy huh? Not really but…
Self Care
I feel like I haven’t written here forever. I’m finding it difficult to manage my time these days and this project seems to be the first thing to go even though I think about it often and truly believe that writing is going to be a key part of this journey for me. The ability…
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
This is a go to recipe I make often for family and company. Chicken thighs are typically much cheaper than breasts and I find them much more flavourful. You can also use this marinade/glaze on pork chops or tenderloin. I adjust the amounts of each ingredient depending on my mood for the day! Amber’s Honey…
