Easy Chowder & Cinnamon Coffee Crumble!!!

Hello Everyone!!!

I know I have been gone for a while, but now I'm back! As you can see the blog has been revamped! Thank you very much to my friend Danielle!

 

Now the chowder recipe is something that I threw together and it turned out AWESOME!

 

 

Ingredients:

1can of cheese and broccoli soup

1can of water

1can of milk

1chicken breast

3cups of mixed veggies

2slices of cheese

salt and pepper for taste

 

 

All the ingredients are just things that I had left over. I used mixed frozen veggies which included: corn, broccoli, carrot, and cauliflower. The cheese was just American sliced kraft  singles. (improvise) Next time I will try to use all FRESH ingredients! Also, I will make a big batch next time so we can have leftovers!  I asked my husband if my chowder was better then his moms and of course he said NO HAHA. But he did say it was 2nd Best!

 

 

 

 

The Cinnamon Coffee Crumble recipe I found on PINTEREST! << link is included :)

The recipe for the crumb part calls for orange zest, which we did use, but the second time I made it I used lemon zest, and it was just as good! Also, the almond extract works so much better then when we tried the vanilla extract! 

So sit back and enjoy your piece of cake and enjoy it with some great tea, or coffee. Its great for dessert or breakfast!

We are excited to try this meal during the winter time ;) Ooooo can't wait to have it snuggled up with a nice warm fire.





Stomach Bug

So a few days ago, my daughter had the stomach bug for less than 24hours, so I chalked it up as just eating too much junk food at my parent's house. Then My nephew got it BAD! 

So of course, I got it 10x worse! I already have stomach issues so when a bug hits me, it hits HARD! And boy did it. So bad to the point where I was dry heaving and throwing up bike for a few hours. I couldn't get off the floor. Thank goodness we are at my parent's house and they helped out with Lil A.

This is me today, day after ER trip. Which was awful! The ER only had two nursed on staff and one doctor, and a full ER.... Took them over an hour for the doctor to visit than took three hours before someone ppl my blood and then another hour for them to start an Iv drip. And during the whole time I just wanted pain meds for my stomach and something to make the nausea to stop. OH! And I've chips. 

This has been my best friend for the past few hours.

Lil A just wants me to get up and put my shoes on! :( poor girl.

Toddler Tuesday

Hello Everyone!!!

Today started out real good, 6am, I was in a good mood, Lil A was in a good mood, all happy. After breakfast, not too much. I tried to hold out on a nap because she hasn't taken a morning nap since she was itty bitty. 9am rolls around ....OKAY LITTLE GIRL, NAP!

She clonked right out!!! I'm wondering, growth spurt maybe? She woke up at noon, didn't want lunch, just snacks. So that's what we did.  2:30 comes around and I decides I would make homemade paint!

She loved them!!! She grabbed the brush and just went right to work!

"Oooo pretty momma"

Then she continued to paint her face and lips. Even a little taste here and there! 

All I used was 1/2 cup of salt, 1/2 cup of flour, and 1/2 cup of water. And food coloring!

Toddler Tuesday!

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

Today I will be doing my first blog post for Toddler Tuesday! Yay!

Sorry I missed Makeup Monday yesterday, but my skin has not been very "acne free" so we will do that one this weekend!

 

My first item for Toddler Tuesday is going to be... NETFLIX!

 

 

 

 I know, I know, some of you are like why is Netflix a toddler item? Well you see, in my house, we do not have cable, just Netflix and Hulu.  My child loves scrolling through all of the movies and shows, looking for characters she knows. And then when she finds what she wants...BAM! MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!!!

 

She recently for the past couple weeks has discovered Tinker Bell, and let me tell you, she is OBSESSED! Every time the t.v. goes on she starts dancing around and squeaking!

 

Next, is a consumable.

Honest Kids Juice

 

100% Organic Juice with only 40 calories, 100% daily value of vitamin C, AND 1/2 the sugar as "other" juices.

My lil one loves these. She gets so excited when she sees them in the pantry. Makes her feel like a big kid I think! haha.

I'm not quite sure on the availability of these. I found mine at Fresh n' Easy, but I  know on the East Coast we don't have Fresh n' Easy, so Wal-Mart may have them too. Also, you can always get them online.

To get coupons and special offers, you just have to go like Honest Tea on Facebook, or follow on Twitter.

 

I know there isn't too many items that I have mentioned, but most of my products are a weekly thing, not monthly, so some of my posts will be shorter than others!

Healthy Meal

Hello!
Lately I have been way beyond off the wagon. I havent been eating healthy or exercising...I have been stuffing my face with sweets.

So to get back on the wagon tonight I am cooking a healthy dinner.

Buttered garlic shrimp
Zucchini
White rice

Not insanely healthy because of all the butter...and rice, but better.

I take a saucepan and fill it with butter, put my thawed, cooked shrimp in and let it cook. Sprinkle garlic salt and lemon pepper.
Zucchini I just boil.
And then whatever kind of rice, we have instant.

Viola!

Happy, Happy, Happy

Hello everyone!
Sorry ithas been a few days since I did a post but wehave just been busy with playdates and the holiday weekend!

So lately pancakes have been my go to breakfast in the morning because they are just so dang yummy. My secret to amazing pancakes weather they are from scratch (which is how we make them) or from the box, I always always add vanilla extract! ALWAYS! And if I have french vanilla creamer, I will substitute that for the milk and OH MY LORD....they come out tasting like vanilla cake and smelling like vanilla bean ice cream! It is the best substitute I have found in my cooking.
