so we just got back from a wonderful family vacation to ocean isle beach (oib as the locals call it), which is north of myrtle beach and technically in the state of north carolina (just in case you wanted a quick geography lesson). i will try and work on some pics this week to upload, along with some awesome summaries and stories that i am sure my in-laws will love being scattered across the internet!
in the meantime, the voights are in day two of their second annual summer phase. if you remember last summer we participated in Jrune, so we are now entering what we hope is a new lifestyle (instead of a short-lived phase). i guess only next summer will tell...
sadly, there is no fancy name for this like last year, this is just more about not being fat. let me know if you think of a good one for that.
okay, so maybe it is more about taking the time to cook meals and reduce our heavy fast-food lifestyle. but name or no name for this attempts, we are working on being intentional about what we are eating and cooking more meals rather than using the excuse of supporting the economy by eating at mcdonalds, taco hut (taco bell and pizza hut combined...it really is a great thing!) penn station and the list keeps going of our weekly consumptions.
i hope to blog with some success updates - and am thinking about changing the name of my baking blog to something a little more universal. after all, if i am going to take the time to slave over a home cooked meal, i might as well take some pics and blog about it, right?
so there, i have confessed our newest phase. i mean lifestyle. last night we even kicked off with a mediterranean chicken pasta with feta, black olives, onions and sun dried tomatoes - but forgot to take any pictures. therefore, you win a picture of our green peppers - from about 2 weeks ago. this little buddy is almost ready for picking now!

It strikes me that if you want to have success with your new lifestyle, DO NOT LOOK at your list of Inspiration Station blogs. Good luck!
I would love it if your baking blog included other dishes. Last night I fixed the pasta dish you made in OIB. Yummy and healthy! Miss you guys. Love Moma Voight
I like the idea of including other things on your blog....I am going to try and make 4 good meals every two weeks. I know that doesn't seem like much to some, but since I will be the only one eating them through the week, I figure I can make a meal last for a few days. My plan is to figure out what those meals will be and grocery shop for them the fist Sunday of the two week period. I may steal some of your ideas from your blog!
