Last Thursday I had my volunteer shift for our local consignment and Daddy ended up taking a day off work and hung out with Sawyer.

Three Bean Veggie Salad with Whole Wheat Pitas & Lemon Garlic Hummas Recipe

Eating throughout the day is hard for me. Skipping meals and eating poorly has been a way of life for me for more years than I care to admit. I've done really great about eating better and cleaner in the past six months but skipping meals are something I'm still struggling with.
