Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
I don't generally like to post negative things. Mostly because my natural bent is to be a Negative Nelly and I fight hard to stay positive in my every day life. But this morning I am going to discuss something negative going on in my life because that really is all I have on my mind this morning. Sorry!
Money. Stinks.
That sums it. Hubby has his own business and we aren't getting paid right now. Might not get paid for a while. We don't believe in credit cards, so no pay check means...no anything. We have an emergency fund to pay the mortgage, thank God. I have faith. I know it will work out. But for some reason I am struggling this morning with staying positive.
I absolutely don't want to be a downer to anyone. Just needed to talk about that. I will adjust my attitude and move forward with a smile and positive attitude, even if I don't feel it. Everything will be OK. I am all sorts of resourceful. Just need ya'll to tell me to stay positive!
Have a great Friday!

ReplyDeleteHang in there my friend! :)
I'm sorry Kat. There seem to be so many people going through that right now. I literally just had a conversation at the gym this morning with my friend about the same thing. Her husband has been out of work for 2 months. She is trying to be optimistic as well. It's tough. Your human. I will pray that God will deliver you some much needed peace today. Hang in there girl :)
ReplyDeleteI have found that the blog is a great way to vent and relieve some stress! Exercise helps me too:)
ReplyDeletewow, so its not just me. Everything will get better because everything up to this point has.
ReplyDeleteHang in there...it will be alright. Times like this help to keep you humble. Not that you have a problem being humble...just saying. I know when I am in your shoes it keep things in perspective on whats truly important and what I can go with out.
ReplyDeleteThat really stinks! Life is hard sometimes but at least you have a venue that allows you to vent.
ReplyDeleteHubbend and I have just endured 6 months of furloughed income. It's hard to get used to having money now. We could barely bring ourselves to get the minivan that we can clearly afford now. That mindset though, it's hard to get over.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking good money thoughts for you...
Kat you are doing so great! I know it may not seem like it, but you're not living off a credit cards...that's AMAZING! Stay away from them, they are horrific. No no, you're doing GREAT and you need to keep your head up! Sometimes it's hard, yes, but it's worth it! It will all work out, I mean, doesn't it always? xoxoxo- D
ReplyDeleteStay on your positive track! All kinds of resourceful is great, and money does stink.
ReplyDeleteLess money always means more that creativity is necessary for stretching a dollar. It's definitely stressful. Hope things start looking up soon.
