Currently March 2023
Currently March 2023
March was packed with lots of stuff and RAIN. Lots of rain. So much rain I thought I was living in Oregon again. Not seeing a clear sky will take the life out of you. Whenever we had a break in the rain and the sun started to shine, I was once again reminded of how fueled I am by the sun. This is my 43rd Spring in this body and I am always in awe of how the light changes at this time of year. Seeing the light still out at 7PM brings hope. That and all of the random new plants that have grown on our hill because of all of the rain.
Another thing to note- I’ve been on a health journey for about 10 months now and in March, I hit a weight loss milestone- 40 lbs.
I also went through kind of an ego death as a food blogger because of it so that was interesting. It’s been a lot of work and I’m starting to write about it.
My monthly printable helps me track my exercise! Here’s what the first three months of the year have looked like.
This month I worked on my Currently Workbook on a live Zoom call. It was fun!

Happy Monday, friends! Started the weekend with a live Zoom call for the Currently workbook. Gave a presentation to a PEO meeting and my boys had another baseball tournament. I introverted at home and caught up on a bunch of housework and reading. I also knocked out my Sunday To DO list! YAY! I didn’t take a pic of my meal prep, but here’s what I did.
Meal prep this week includes:
- Jasmine Iced Tea
- sliced cheddar
- yogurt veggie dip
- gluten free blueberry muffins
Anywho! Here are my Intentions for the week!

I have a substack- The Handwriting Club.
This week I shared the story about the last piece of mail I sent my Mom.
Sol Food Chicken
Sol Food Chicken is a new meal prep addition. At the restaurant, Sol Food, it’s called Pollo al Horno (oven-baked chicken) and it’s a very simple yet satisfying garlic & oregano chicken situation. It’s in my rotation because it’s super easy to make (even easier than my Lemon chicken!). Marinate it on a Sunday, eat it on a Monday.
The big bonus is that it’s all done in the oven on a sheet pan so the cleanup is pretty easy.
The only thing you have to be aware of is that it takes about an hour to bake it.
I like it over rice with an arugula salad tossed with lemon & olive oil. I like to mix it all up together in a bowl so the chicken mixes with all the goods.
