\u00a0How about one more entry, shall we?<\/span><\/i>

Sundays are such wonderful days for relaxing, my weekend right now. Growing up, Sundays used to be fun but a bit stressful…WAKE UP, LAUREL! CHURCH!! (Oh, Mom, I’m 15…almost an ADULT…I can just sleep in a little more and–someday–drive myself to church.) LAUREL! I made chocolate chip pancakes!! And bacon and eggs! (Dad, that’s my favorite! But I also love sleep…and I hung out with my girl friends too late last night at Kendra’s house. Man, I wish we lived closer to church…but that’s a sketchy neighborhood. Well, I wish church would move closer to us, you know, the 90-year old building. Could they just pick it up on a big truck and move it to our neighborhood out here in the ‘burbs?? I just need 5 more minutes of sleeeep…) Lau-RUHL! We need to go! (Fine! I’m getting up! But not for you guys who are nagging me, but for God. Yep, God. And my friends. What should I wear? I HAVE TO look cute for church! Hmmm….) *45 minutes later and definitely late for Sunday school* (Finally, I look cute enough. Mom, Dad, could you guys drive? I need to put on my makeup.)<\/span><\/i>

<\/span><\/i>
And so the saga continued…and school days were pretty similar, too, since we commuted to my school as well. Heh, needless to say, this Sunday was relaxing. I woke up at noon (yes, I know…) and definitely missed church (sad). I saw God today, just not inside two big wooden double doors and through beautiful stained glass and joyful singing. That’s okay for today. Next Sunday.<\/span><\/i>

Here is one of those unexpectedly tasty lunches. I love soup and sammies more than many, and Matt and I whipped up BLTs (me=BL with extra L) and Pacific Foods Ginger Carrot soup. Yum!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Soup and sammies are great for dinner, too!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Applewood smoked bacon…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0If I’m going to eat a fatty meat like bacon, I’m going to do it up…thick slices of salty\/sweet applewood smoked bacon, crisp green spinach leaves and a spicy mayo added to the tastiness. Oh, yes, and always toast the bread! (whole wheat, of course)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A favorite quick dressing for quite a few years…no soupy puddle at the bottom of your salad bowl.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0I added a salad and had just a bit of soup…what a filling, healthy meal! Fresh blackberries and blueberries completed my fruit quota for the day!!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0When you regularly buy produce (some standards, like a bag of spinach, some apples, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, etc., it’s easier to just throw them into your regular meals. It’s a great way to incorporate those new FDA standards…half produce!!<\/p>\n
