Mushroom crepe

Let me stress this again, we would not normally eat crepes everyday. We usually have a protein shake for breakfast with fruit. and Patience has her egg with veggies or veggie sausage. But let's face it a crepe is alot healthier than biscuit and gravy. This would be made on a holiday and when we are not eaing bread products for the rest of the day.
When we had the Bistro Md meals they had mushroom crepe's in the meal. I obtained this recipe from a Healthy Eating Vegan book. We are trying to go with vegan recipes.
Since Jerry hours have changed for the holidays i will try to make cooking videos with Jerry and Patience.

Maintaining and then some...

So proud of Patience she has managed to lose a few more pounds. Actually home school has helped with her health. We have more quailty time to go on our walks and excerise. And there is no candy dangled in front of her at school.

Patience and Jerry ( Daddy)

When they told us they would help Jerry lose weight, I had no idea he would lose so much!!! Although he works alot he still manages to work out.

A fun thing...

One of the fun things we have been doing to come up with meal ideas. Is what ever book we are reading we create a meal that is like the book.

A healthy version of course I will try to post pictures soon of some of the book creations. It makes reading fun and eating healthy fun.

Patience hard at work...

This is Patience little art project she did of the Mayflower..

Pretty good for her age. I love that im able to spend time with her and watch her learn.

Turkey wrap with apple

Patience has maintained her weight and managed to lose a couple more pounds

since home school. She does that by eating protein, veggies, fruit. For lunch half of a wrap and fruit or sandwich. I'm so proud of her. For Breakfast we try to stay away from bread. However some days she may have a whole wheat bagel or waffle. It has really surprised me how she is losing weight while doing home school. I think she is more active because we are able to walk everyday.
