Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book: We finished “Walt Disney” by Bob Scollen and it was a treat. What an amazing life the man led! I am sure there was a lot left out since it was a juvenile book, but maybe that is for another time. I finished reading Desires and Devices: A History of Contraceptives in America by …
We are still in peak holiday season, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t prep for the rest of the day’s nutrition before the cookies and candy come. This week – in addition to a Minecraft birthday party celebration (a future blog post)- I have been researching smoothies and how to get maximum nutrition into …
I hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving. Apples are still flowing at the grocery stores and these little babies would be fabulous to whip up one evening to freeze for breakfast, a brunch party, a baby shower or when you are invited to someone’s house at the last minute. We served these scones at my …
I was too lazy to look up the recipe for my pumpkin oatmeal last week. The oats were reduced and the milk increased… and tastes BETTER than the original. Same flavor profile, but creamier! A healthy, wholesome fall breakfast – and remember you bake it and freeze it. Or, you can mix it all together …
Hope everyone had a GREAT Halloween! Ours was a little chilly…. like 37 degrees and hands freezing chilly. But the kids got their loot before 8pm, so they were all happy. Recipe: All buggers aside, this recipe is SUPER yummy, SUPER easy, SUPER healthy and Freezer Friendly. How can you go wrong? I make …
Well… I would have accomplished more this week if I hadn’t started watching “Once Upon a Time.” You see, I needed a new show. I only watch 2 TV shows (Castle and Marvel) and I exercise 5 times per week. So I found “Once Upon a Time” on Netflix since several people commented Elsa was …
Whew! So I finally have a kitchen again that has more than 2 drawers, but with that comes LOTS of moving and unpacking. Bonus – I didn’t have to exercise because I was moving furniture! I love practical and functional in one 🙂 So here are the rooms I have done so far in the …
*Book Update*: I finished Shawn Anchor’s “Happiness Advantage” and continued on to his second book “Before Happiness.” Some interesting tidbits: a 1968 study yielded what we call the “Pygmalion Effect” basically proving child test scores rising simply because they were held at higher expectations. Anchor conducted a study in regards to work, but instead …
Book Update: I finished “Secret Daughter” by Shilpi Somaya Gowda this week – it was really good. The book was an international bestseller and on the NY Times bestselling list. The book follows two families: an American couple wanting to adopt (the husband is from India and the wife is from California) and an Indian couple. …
Good morning! I hope everyone had a fabulous Mother’s Day! One person has requested the Figure Friendly Meal Plan that I have, so I will post it here. This is a Freezer meal plan written by Wildtree. You can use and purchase their ingredients (I sell them as well), or you can swap them …
