A Favorite and Healthy Snack

I do not for the life of me remember when I discovered this magical combination that I am about to reveal to you, but it has been a decade or two and it is to this day still one of my favorite and fastest snacks. It is simply this:

1) Cracker of choice (Ry Krisp, Kashi Crackers, a 'Brittany Approved' Ritz cracker wanna-be)

2) Small curd lowfat cottage cheese (that's just how I like my cottage cheese)

3) McCormick's Salad Supreme Seasoning

Spoon cottage cheese onto small plateful of crackers and sprinkle with Salad Supreme. SO tasty and you can put it together in less than two minutes. Sometimes when I'm pickier with my carbo choices or just looking for the protein, I spoon the cottage cheese into a bowl and sprinkle. Either way it's fantastic.

I also had to share my latest food find - Frontera salsa. All I can say is WOW. No naughty ingredients and the taste is phenomenal. I even tried calling them the other day just to tell them how much I love them for making this delicious salsa. Their Fire Roasted Tomatoe is to die for. I marinated and grilled some chicken in my grill pan, sliced, and layed it atop a bed of lettuce with some mozzarella and a touch of cheddar cheese. I mixed the frontera salsa with some plain Fage yogurt (on its own this stuff tastes like sour cream) and spread on my salad. The second night of having this I went with just straight salsa and it was perfect. Salsa is so great because it is vegetables and nothing more so you don't have to be worried about smothering your salad with it like you would any other regular and usually highly caloric salad dressing. Love it!

Ah The Joys Of Summer!

Life is nuts isn't it? And we all know that it never really calms down - the challenges simply change. School's out. Yay!! (No - that's not me talking, that's my kids). My two youngest are fighting like the world might end tomorrow and they need to let each other know how annoying and despicable the other one thinks they are. The toddler manhandles Preston's Lego car and Preston throws it in anger yelling that the toddler ruined it - and not just the Lego car - his LIFE! "This is the worst day of my life!" Sigh. I suggest a simple and relaxing game of Candy Land. They show up to the game table with their best of poker faces and they are not going to let anyone or anything steal away their chance at sweet victory. Accusations of cheating and board-manipulation fly, all the while the toddler simply moves his piece from one spot to the next which is simply just too much to take for the real players. The game is over and nobody is ever playing again. My mi

Gratitude and Re-Committing

I didn't get the 'memo' but it looks like people are doing a 22 days of gratitude type of deal in lieu of the Thanksgiving holiday. Despite it being a little cliche, there's never a really good reason to not jump on board a gratitude wagon. Aside from that, I was also inspired by the lesson in one of my church meetings yesterday, that was simply on kindness, to re-commit to a few very important goals. 1. I am grateful for all four of mine, his, and our children. Parenting and step-parenting has proven to be one of the greatest ongoing challenges of my life. Not one of my kids is like the other. They all have unique stuggles, quirks and personalities that make me want to sometimes either squeeze them like crazy with happiness or frustration. ;) They are constantly reminding me (unverbally) of what my priorities should be and they are constantly teaching me patience. If I can keep calm and carry on (thanks Mr. Churchill), I think I might actually be okay at this parenti

Day One

I have to admit that I went to bed excited and woke up excited - I have alot of faith that the shakes and supplements will work for Preston. I was listening to a woman talk yesterday and she mentioned that God has the power to do anything - if it is the right course of action. She said that it didn't matter what anybody told you (you will never be able to have kids, you have six months to live) because if you had faith and didn't give up, anything could happen. This really struck me as I know several people and have heard stories of people beating the odds; I have even heard of a few miracles. I know people that were told they wouldn't have children, and now have a family. Miracles do happen and I think they happen when there is alot faith. This thought gave me strength and I am excited because anything can happen really. With that being said, when I got Preston back from his dad last night I gave him 1 C-Lyte and 1 Grapefruit Seed Extract capsule. I need to first say t
