Hello All,

I joined Pinterest in the Fall of 2012 and wasn't sure how it worked.  Found it to be kind of redundant.  But then that Christmas I found my use for Pinterest...recipes.  90% of my Pins are food related and use it every week to Pin new recipes, make my meal plan and grocery list.

People often ask me to share recipes, and I tell them to follow me on Pinterest.

I started to get organized when I would Pin a new recipe I would place it in my "New Recipes to Try" Board. Once tried I would move to another Board to keep it for later reference.

My other obsession besides food is wine.  I can't remember exactly the point in my life when I became a wino...but food and wine are a huge part of my life now.  I love to cook and I love to cook with wine.

I am sure my Pinterest Boards will keep evolving into a combination of these 2 entities.

My Recipes Board has 126 Pins; Wine 115; New Recipes to try 114; Exercises 135...now you know where my interests lie.

My newest Board is Smoothies, which will be my experiment for the upcoming week.  I will post 5 or 6 different smoothie recipes next weekend based on different proteins, fruit/veg base and liquid bases!!!

In the mean time following me on Pinterest and/or Twitter:

Every Sunday I try and not only make a Meal Plan for the week ahead, but prep as much food as possible.  This ensures I stay in track, not only with eating but with budget as well.  But I am a firm believer in a balanced life, so I don't eliminate foods (other than gluten) from my diet and enjoy healthy, balanced meals.

Below is a my Meal Plan for this week. All recipes can be found on my Pinterest Page https://www.pinterest.com/shanmysoccer/.  I hope to get some new followers on this blog and my Pinterest account.  Will be posting more recipes, workouts and fun activities in the upcoming weeks.
