FRIDAY FOOD AND FAVORITES-A GREEN BREAK

Happy Friday! I know for most people Friday is the day to celebrate the end of the work week and the beginning of a relaxing and fun weekend...right? Well, for me, as a Jewish wife and mom of 5 (and I'm sure I've said this before), the weekend can be my most hectic and potentially stressful time. But I'm not complaining...no! I mean was it just last weekend when all my kids except one were away, and my house was way too quiet? So bring on the mess, the noise, the laundry, and the chaos...bring it on baby!! 

Friday Food:

One of the things I started doing on the weekends is preparing my food for the following week. I actually try to think of what I may need for the following week while I'm shopping for Shabbos! It's really important that I eat healthy and I'm always rushing to get out in the mornings. So when I saw this idea on Pinterest, I thought this would be a fabulous feature for my Friday food. Basically, you buy some mason jars (available at your local craft store like Michaels),  add your dressing first, then whatever you want in your salad, and then your greens last. Supposedly, as long as your greens don't touch the dressing these little salads will last nicely for a few days. All you have to do in the morning is grab one and go. When you're ready to eat just give your jar a shake and enjoy!

Now for my Friday Favorites:

The weather's been pretty nasty over the last few days. The cold grey skies have been putting a damper over everything, so when I saw this gorgeous photo on the Buzz Blog it really brightened my day and I decided to do a post on glorious green. Green is a neutral color found in nature, and I find it to be extremely soothing and cheerful. Think about how you feel in a meadow surrounded by lush trees. So in the midst of a cold and gloomy winter, when little green can be found, why not take a fresh break?
