Pinterest!

I am another female addicted to Pinterest. I always find myself saying "oh on Pinterest I saw......." And that is usually when I see my husband and others start to roll their eyes..."oh she is one of THOSE women"

I find it has a million ideas for my inner creative person [wish the inner was more outer..meaning I wish I just did some of these things] Most things cost $$ that frankly we just do not have these days.

One thing that I found I can actually do is make some of the delicious recipes for meals!! The year before last my New Years resolution, between working two jobs and being a Wife, was to make one new meal every month. Homemade. Delicious. Something I have never tried.

I started January making Lasagna, never made it, now I did not make the noodles [homemade bahh] or the sauce because ....seriously....no haha.

February I made homemade Chicken Pot Pie! I used my SIL crust recipe for Apple Pie and added veggies, chicken, and all the delicious fillings that was wonderful!!

March I think I made homemade Blueberry muffins those were so easy and so delicious.

Then i kind of lost steam, I found out I was pregnant, then the 1st trimester sleepies came, and I was still working 2 jobs so when I was actually home I was napping.

Towards the end of my pregnancy I discovered all the yummy recipes on Pinterest and was only working one job [thanks to my wonderful Husbands hard work] and since I have made all of these meals.

 Banana Bread

 South West Egg Rolls

 Bell pepper Enchiladas

 Zesty Italian chicken

 Crockpot Lasagna

 Meatball sandwich Casserole

 Mini Corn dogs

 Mini Pizzas

 Pumpkin Muffins

 Pizza Rolls

 Pulled pork Sandwiches

 Taco Quesadilla

 Mexican Stuffed Shells

 Taco pie

 Zucchini somethings

 Zucchini Tots

Zucchini pizzas

Now some are Favorites and I have definitely made them again, Some need tweaks in the recipe because I just do not like spinach THAT much,  but I feel like maybe it has been almost 2 years since my resolution but i honestly think that this totally counts as me having a successful resolution. I have made many new meals I have never made all from scratch! =D This is something that I really enjoy!

So when you are thinking of meals for the week so you can finish your shopping list... log on to Pinterest! That's what I do!!

p.s. bet you are hungry now! =P you're welcome!

Life Happens

I was doing really well for about 3 weeks, with working out and watching what i am eating.

As usual life happened, its not an excuse but i just need to get back into the routine of being more active. I am more active since Logan has been up and crawling around, i rarely sit on the couch only during his nap and Ellen is on! =P

I am crawling around, walking around, taking him to the park, walking to the bank to save $$ on gas and working on my feet for about 25 hrs a week.

i am still watching what i eat and havent eaten as many meals since rodney is on night shift still. We end up eating dinner at around 330p/4p then if i remember i will have a snack or two in the evening..

Just an update for those who read.
