It's been awhile! I had to take a little intermission while I took care of a hip and back flare-up. I am on the road to back to normal, thanks to a good doctor and physical therapy.
So for the past month or so, we've been eating a lot of sandwiches, frozen foods, and take out. Whatever I could throw together without too much standing and/or bending. And although I am almost ready to start cooking again, there are a couple considerations.
First, according to the doctor, I need to change my diet to a more healthy one. I totally get that! I don't like it, but I get it! Second, I am just not quite there yet for sitting down and making a menu plan and going to several grocery stores to get everything I need. I'm doing way better, just not there yet!
What I have done, though, is I've been looking at different ways of sharing my menu plans. I like using Google Drive, but it's just not my favorite. I checked out Bublup - have you heard of it? I really like it! It's kind of like Pinterest, in a way, but you can save files, notes, and all sorts of things in your folders. Then, if you want them to, Bublup just takes all the stuff you've put in a folder and makes a blog post out of it somehow! It's like magic!
I tried one out this morning. I made a really yummy Apple Breakfast Tart this morning, and we both loved it. So I quick put notes and pictures in a folder, and they made it into a roll (that's what they call a blog post). It was pretty easy and pretty darn quick to throw together!
So....I decided to make you my guinea pigs and share the link with you all, so you can see how it looks when they mosh it all together to make a blog post. PLEASE let me know what you think! Because I'm thinking I may try to make my menu plans using the BublUp app, if you guys like how it looks. If not, I can go back to the old way of using Google Drive. It's no big deal, but I'm interested in knowing what you all think!
Here is the link to see the BublUp blog page for my Apple Breakfast Tart:
PLEASE let me know what you think!
Have a great day, and I will be back soon with a menu plan!
Happy to see you again! The new format would be fine, whichever is easiest for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! It's good to be back! And thanks for the feedback on the new app. I am still deciding, and want to make sure it's not too much clicking to open links for you. I will have a menu plan for next week, either way! Thanks for the comment, have a great week!
DeleteGlad you are feeling better. That's a very interesting app and your tart looks good.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy! I am still deciding on the app, but will have a new menu plan up for next week soon. Thanks for the comment, have a great week!
DeleteThe when I just read a weblog, I am hoping who’s doesnt disappoint me up to brussels. I am talking about, I know it was my substitute for read, but I just thought youd have some thing interesting to express. All I hear is really a handful of whining about something that you could fix when you werent too busy searching for attention. Web Development Company SLC
ReplyDeleteHow have you been doing?

Hi Linda! I am fine! I guess I have been on an extended vacation! I kind of lost my motivation to blog this summer, and have been sewing more than cooking! I have made all kinds of bags and cute table toppers. In the kitchen, I have made....not much. It seems we have been eating a lot of salads, or just eating out.
DeleteBut when I get a comment from you, I realize I miss you! I really need to get back in a routine! The kids (not really kids anymore, they are 19, 17, and 10) go back to school and college the first week in August, so that should help. I am going to give myself a much-needed kick and get back to menu planning! I know my husband, at the very least, will appreciate it! Sometimes I guess I just need a break! Thank you so much for keeping in touch, and I will start working on August menus this evening.
It is so nice hearing from you!
Glad you are enjoying your summer!
