Bubble pizza. Something I never knew existed until I married my wife and we began sharing regular meal-times together. Meal times that I had hardly even thought about, although if you would have asked me I would have said, “why yes, I do plan on eating daily for the rest of my life, as much as possible.”

I joke sometimes with her that I would have married her simply for the existence of Bubble Pizza in my life.

But seriously, I love that my wife has gotten into meal planning…and I recommend anyone check out the website , www.mealplanningmommies.com , she and her room mates from college have created. It says “mommies”, but I say anyone who eats, who doesn’t wanna think much about it – and yet wants to eat well and spend less – check the site out.

The fact that she puts time/energy/love into it, most of the recipes actually pass my taste testing (and I’m picky), and it has saved us a stink load of money over the past year – it wins my award for best blog of it’s kind. 🙂

Without her thinking ahead, I’d probably end up with a lot of burgers and frozen pizza. Maybe after a long time, I’d get creative and make a sandwich. Not to say I can’t cook – once in a while she may even inspire me off my lazy frozen pizza lovin’ butt to help make a meal.

Anywho….I think I’ve sold enough. But seriously, check the blog. Tell your friends. And your friends’ friends. And their parents. And those parents’ friends. And those friends’ pets.

Read it, subscribe to it, glean from it. Saves money, time, and frustration of not knowing what to make for dinner, when you know you should make something better for yourself than another grilled cheese, but aren’t quite sure what/how to decide.

Eat well.

Here’s a video I’d love to play for church sometime…

Does this make you think, “Oh, I need to figure out how to get more money?”

Or does it make you think, “Oh, I need to live more simply.”

Our response can help the world. 🙂

Lately it seems my movie choices have been lacking something. It culminated in agreeing to watch “Lakeview Terrace” with some family this past weekend. Seriously, no clue what Samuel Jackson was thinking, unless it was “I need a movie that tries to make “Snakes on a Plane” look better.” Just an absolute mess in every regard. Bad lines, unbelievably predictable/cheesy, bad acting, and even when the good guy won in the end – it left you wondering why you watched the whole thing.

So Monday night, when my wife texted me RedBox’s free Monday Code, I knew I had to do better this time. The new releases were all predictable, seen, or undesirable. So I turned to some older recent dvd’s. My eye was caught by one I hadn’t heard much about, but had a decent actor and the plot sounded interesting/human. And it was PG-13 – which we all know is the 80’s “R”. But I figured it was worth a shot.

I don’t want to say much more, and of course – it’s not perfect. But I’m not sure what I would have changed (maybe left out the small amount of cussing in one scene.) For anyone who is hungry for a movie that will inspire and challenge you at the same time, as well as come as a breath of fresh air to anyone who’s watched the garbage that seems to dominate box offices – rent this movie. Especially if it’s a free redbox code night. 🙂
