meant to say “it” in place of first “issue” – pressed submit too soon!

I would also take the Self thing as a compliment! I stopped reading issue awhile ago, but the Kelly Clarkson issue was the final blow/reason I am boycotting it indefinitely. I feel that there are A LOT of omissions in that magazine.

That is pretty weird that they’d put Angela and Jenna in there but not you…

So funny about the Self article. I think you’d only be competition if their blogs were interesting and readable.

I subscribed to SELF over a year ago, but once my subscription ran out, I never renewed. That magazine was a great start-point in leading me to a healthy life, but it kind of got old. I feel like all of their topics never change! It’s always: Look great, tone up! or Shape a great Bum before summer lol. Fitness Rx is my new love, because they actually have science and nutrition mixed in with great moves

Oh and YUCK! I LOATHE cleaning the top of the trash can lid, but it’s something that must be done! It does get quite gross, especially if you throw food into it like my honey does lol. (You can imagine the splatter!)

The Container Store has a way-cool under shelf wire rack for placemat storage for less than $10 . . . it makes use of the dead space between shelves: http://www.containerstore.com/shop/kitchen/pantryOrganizers/shelfOrganizers?productId=10000701. We love ours; it stores way more than I thought it would.

i have no idea what a good way to store placemats would be – i’ve always just seen them stacked in piles. you could put them in an “in” box (like on a desk)

You guys are too kind I’m not tryin’ to cause drama or create competition though!

Love the idea to roll the placemats and put them in a basket!!

Megan,
You can find some of the nutritional info on the Great Harvest website. They are a bit high in calories, but they are also hugeeee. I’d say half of one is probably a normal muffin portion and is probably about 200 calories?

Wendy,
I actually find it quite boring! But that’s just me. We’re learning about grant writing, Medicare, all of the government programs like WIC (which is one thing that I do find really interesting), the School Lunch Program, Aging Adults program, health insurance, and stuff.

Jelli,
When you’re a food blogger, you have more than 2 sets! I probably have at least 20 different kinds.

happyshoes,
I recycle as much as I possibly can. I have a file for receipts, although I only keep the ones that are tied to something material that I might return, and I have a filing cabinet for all of our bills and stuff. As for magazines that I might read later – I’ve learned I WON”T read them later! But I do have a notebook where I clip recipes and house decor stuff. So I don’t keep the whole magazine – just the sheet with the info. In the past I have saved so much stuff “just in case” and I’ve learned that I rarely, rarely ever refer back to it, so I’m trying to be more minimalistic.

Kelly,
Thanks And FYI, I don’t get paid for product reviews.

Tieghan,
I don’t think you could make Split Pea Soup without split peas, but you could use lentils or make a different kind of soup?

Tuesday,
It’s on the recipe page and I linked over when I posted it at last night’s dinner too.

Eileen,
Oh yes, I totally understand things get cut – but it was more the reason that surprised me.
