Hey y’all.
How is summer going for you so far? Can you believe we are already coming up on the 4th of July? Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Christmas.
I am really excited at how well our #stoptheyuck party has grown! Yesterday I was down and out with another migraine. I don’t know what is going on. It’s like I keep them under control for ages and them BAM! all of the sudden they start to linger again. I am not sure what is going on, but I don’t like it. Yesterday I spent the day in bed and I was not happy about it!
If you remember, the nasty headache derailed me last week, too. I hope I can find some peace with this. I have been dealing with them since I was 9 and I am sorta over it.
No. Really.
I did manage to get some great posts up last week, in case you missed them. In celebration of July being National Picnic Month. I posted 12 recipes that are great for picnics. I also shared my salad in a jar, fun times with Mr. Yum on our picnic, strawberry raspberry shortcake in a jar and how to make the perfect picnic sandwich.
So tell me, what were you up to this week? Let me know by sharing your food links in our party below!

I am loving this Clean Eating Pecan Pie recipe from Sherri over at Luv A Bargain. Pecan pie is my favorite pie ever and I had no idea that I could make it cleaner and NOT sure Karo Syrup. This recipe has changed my life. I can’t wait to make this yummy treat.

Hi Chrystal,
I’m sorry to hear about your migraines. I’m sure you’ve tried everything but there are some foods that help. If you want some info on that, just let me know. 🙂 I hope it disappears quickly!
I can’t believe there is a clean pecan pie either and I’m headed over now to check it out. Thanks for hosting and feel better soon.!
I have tried all OTC methods, many holistic methods, the chiropractor, massage, and even prescriptions. I have tried to follow my docs advise after all these years and figure out what foods could be causing it. Doesn’t really appear to be one or the other. I do know I would like to talk to you more about this issue. I really want to center myself on a more plant based diet. I know I feel so much better when I do.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the pie!
Chrys
Wait…a clean eating pecan pie? I didn’t even think that was a possibility!
Me either. It made my whole day@

I thought I commented before, but maybe it didn’t stick? Headaches can just derail you. I’m sorry to hear you got one. 🙁 The link up here is nice!
Great, now all i can think of is pecan pie!Thanks for the article, sorry about the migraine!
strawberry shortcake in a jar sounds amazing and so perfect to take on a picnic for easy transportation!
It’ delish! Hope you think so.

I don’t think there is anything worse than a migraine. I get them for 2 days straight every month right before my period hits. That pain and nausea is almost debilitating!
That was a trigger for me when I was younger. I was put on birth control to help change things. I found the right one and things were easier to deal with. Instead of a million migraines a month, I would get 1 or 2. As I got older I would go months without them. Then get them again. And there was never a real pattern. Found out I had PCOS and then assumed the constant shift in hormones and insulin could be a huge culprit. Only, we didnt know I had PCOS when I was younger. I have had a few Dr tell me that they are PTSD trauma related too. So, who knows.
Thank you for sharing all of these.Sorry to hear you have not been feeling good i really hope you feel better soon.
Thank you so very much!

Sorry you had a bad headache for the last week. Those can really mess up plans and can be draining since you have gotten them since you were 9.
Over the years I had learned to adapt to them. However, when they string on and linger for weeks at a time, then break through and linger so more I really have to stop and take a look at life to sees whats causing me to have so many triggers.
Wait…a clean eating pecan pie? Are you saying I can eat this and not feel guilty?! 🙂
I am going with….. yes 😉
I love all the jar foods! We have a million baby food jars that I have big plans for!
Oh there are so many uses for those things! I know so many people don’t realize that!
Migraines are the worst! Glad you’re feeling better, and love this beautiful food round up!
Thank you so much.

I will have to give the pecan pie a try….Pecan Pie is my hubby’s favorite pie!
Let me know how you guys like it!
Ugh, migraines are the worst. I hope you’re feeling better soon. I need to try the salad in a jar!
Thank you. And please do. Let me know how you like them.
Ugh, headaches are the worst! So sorry to hear you’ve been feeling so poorly!
I need to get to the bottom of it!

Salad in the jar is my favorite for lunches!
I am loving them more and more!
I used to get frequent migraines until I switched to almost raw eating. I wasn’t drinking enough water and since my switch I drink a lot more which also helps get rid of my migraines. I drink at least one green juice or smoothie per day….sometimes both. Next week I will be doing a juice fast and cleanse. Our bodies were not meant to eat all that crap that is in processed and packaged foods. People think that eating raw or super healthy is extreme or depriving yourself, but it is actually freedom to allow our bodies to be wthat they were created to be….healthy.

I love the idea of a salad in a jar. I think I’d need a long handled fork, but I think it would be a way to use a lot less dressing and mix it up well.
Since our picnic set came with plates and silverwear I didn’t think about that since I dumped it on the plates and added the dressing. The girls I know don’t fill it to the top. When its time to eat they add their dressing and shake. Also, they probably use the smaller jars. These jars are the larger ones.
That shortcake in a jar is still a favorite of mine. I told my hubs about the salads in a jar idea and he wants to do it next week.
I am excited to hear about it!
Thanks for the link up! Let me see what I can add!
You are welcome and thank you for joining us Krystal.

Pecan pie isn’t something that I really enjoy, but it is my husbands all time favorite pie (along with mince meat). He would LOVE that pie you posted.
I cant remember the last time I had mince meat pie. Pretty good stuff if the right recipe comes through!

Wow, this is a great link up. I want to try everything right now. You definitely made me hungry!
Hope the migranes are improving. You keep inspiring me to think in new ways. Dogs and humans had zucchini muffins this week to work on using up our ever growing crop. They were a hit all around.
They seem to come and go. I started keeping a food journal to see if there was something I was missing. I think its just the crooked shoulder causing stress in my neck. I hope you and the furkids are doing well!
