Blog Updates and Meal Planning for the Week

LimeTreeFruits.com // Weekly Menu Planner

Well, hello there!

It has been a while, hasn’t it?

I’ll tell ya this whole thing of moving out of the country has been crrrazy to say the least. The enchanted house sold uber-fast {of course, right? Who wouldn’t want to buy the enchanted house? :D } and we are very close of moving to a provisory home – in a week and a half! Eeekk!

For a while now I have been thinking of transitioning our weekly blog-posts-chit-chats to Tuesdays but didn’t know exactly how to break the “Friday-Pattern”.
Well, as things happen when they are meant to, the packing and garage sale of last week and weekend, forced me to skip this Friday.

And…. BAM! “Friday-Pattern” broke! HA!

The transition was unexpected, unplanned and totally perfect!
So, Tuesday it is my darling! Tuesday is when the action will be happening over here. Some bonus posts may happen off-Tuesdays – cause ya know I love to break rules and fun surprises ;) but Tuesdays are our set weekly date!

Ok, and what do I have for you on our very first Tuesday date?

A gift to celebrate?
Of course I do! A very yummy one!

Lately I have been seriously experimenting with raw food. I am LOVING it. I finally found a truly awesome source of goodies. I have been posting around on the interwebs my recent experiments because {you may had noticed} when I find something that I love, I obsess with it :D

Now really, look at those yumminess:

And a “Pasta” Pesto! Yuuumm!

To die for, isn’t it?

Oh, and the awesome goodies resource? All from this site —->  Shine On Raw

 SO, because I am actually enjoying “uncooking”, I finally finished the meal weekly planner I have been wanting to put out for ages. It is – OF COURSE – all super-cute and illustrated by yours truly.

The layout is a special one. It has a spot to actually assign a person to cook that day! Yeah, that way the work load can be better balanced and no one is over cooking that week. {I did a pun! :D }

Take a peek:

So in the first row you add the name of your recipe, in the second row assign who is cooking it and third row the ingredients needed to make it. Pretty straight forward, huh? AND the ingredients all spelled out like that make the grocery shopping list all easy-breezy to put together. ;)

Ah! And there is a little chef tasting his master-piece:

Another freebie – Garden Labels! ;)

LimeTreeFruits.com // Free Garden Tags

Yes, spring is here, right? Time to work that green thumb. Here in Colorado it seems that winter forgot to pack his belongings and take off to his annual vacation. There is snow all over the place and it keeps coming non-stop. Frustrating. Even thou, I have faith. I have faith winter will get the “hint” and go away at some point. My “hint” to Mr. Stubborn-White-Gloves was to paint some garden tags last week. And you know what? This week we had pockets of sun and I was able to sneak out and plant some goodies, hehe. Sooooo, of course … Continue reading

“I can only tell it to my Filofax” is Printable!

LimeTreeFruits.com // I can only tell it to my Filofax

Hello sweeties! Last week that was a genius idea posted in the comments of one of my posts and of course I just had to put it in practice! ‘mmember  when I created one of the buttons specifically for Filofax posts? Well, the genius idea that popped up was to make it a printable file to actually put on a Filofax! But of course! How that hadn’t occurred to me? YES! So I resurrected the old file, added a frame to give it a little-something, resized for personal and A5 size and ta-daaaaa!   Looking good, huh? Now let’s see it in action. Right behind … Continue reading

Making Art the fun way – a.k.a A Guide to Release Creativity

LimeTreeFruits.com // Releasing Creativity

  Hi Sweets! So as I mentioned earlier I have been in full-force painting to help me go through some recent events. And ya know, it has been so helpful to let things flow as they want to. One of the best things I found out about really letting the flow roll is to let go of rules. Obvious stuff, huh? Yeah, but I find it so darn hard when it comes to art! So many “right & wrong” rules were early on stuck into my artist brain that it has been taking a lot of work to free myself from them all. I talked a … Continue reading
