30-Day Challenge 2.0

Man, I really need to get better about posting. I'm starting to forget which days are which.

Yesterday (Thursday) was hard. They had pizza for lunch at school and DS10 didn't eat it all. I took it to my office to wrap it up and man, it took every ounce of determination not to sneak just a little bite. I didn't though and I'm proud of myself.

For dinner I made Raw Dawg Rory's Cucumber Aioli with Cheezy Cucumber Sticks. After the cucumber is sliced into noodles using a vegetable peeler it is doused in a marinade of EVOO, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes ...
