Lara – yeah, the carrots really shrink. I think I’m going to use a pound next time

Ahhh I love your spice drawer! Can’t believe you alphabetize your spices, too…we are spice sistah’s

I can definitely see how the new kitchen can make healthy eating easier. It’s just lovely. Just showed Matthew the photos from your latest post. We are jealous

Agreed that the coconut oil is crucial for the carrot fries! Did you notice that they REALLY shrunk?! For the two of us I have to use about 5 big carrots to get anything substantial!

Meghan – hope you’re enjoying this wonderful weather. It’s making me so happy!!

Katie – I loved your post! Thanks for sharing it here

Sophie – what a great idea. I used to do that too and somehow forgot this little trick. “Seeing” other people being so motivating and succeeding at their goals due to their hard work, is definitely motivating.

MelissaNibbles – haha. I guess that’s a good way to save a whole drawer

Miriam – I used to keep mine in shoe boxes. It worked really well actually. Maybe I’ll mention it in my next post

Laurel – thanks! I loved those guys. Still miss them. I may have to pick some up on my next trip to NY.

Ally – I’ll post the recipe in my next blog post for you. They really are incredible.

Jess – I am always super motivated to get back to my healthy habits after traveling (especially for work). I’ve never heard of Penzey’s spices. Is that a brand name?

Lele – I’m glad to “hear” I’m not the only one.

Coco – welcome to Healthy and Sane. I hope you still around!

We loved this pork recipe and it was so easy, so it will be a repeat. The carrot fries are something that I haven’t tried but am certain the guys would like, so I am putting that on my short list to try very soon, thank you! Amazing spice drawer…Kudos to you for getting all that together!

I can definitely see how a new kitchen can inspire healthy eating. I’ve noticed that each time I move somewhere, the new environment spurs me into healthier eating.

Good for you! Feeling in control is a great feeling.

Thank you so much for the comment on my blog and for your congratulations. It means a lot

Hi Elina! Thanks for stopping by my blog- now I’m here at yours!- Wow your eats look good and so balanced between nummy and healthy.

Yay for the crow- I can ALMOST do it too- I teeter and wobble before falling into a heap!

I have also been a bit better – less snacky demons and I redid my kitchen several months ago so I’ll give the stars and the moon credit- there is no other explanation!

I have a friend who alphabetizes her spice drawer too!
