<br />
<ol>
<li><b>I'm falling behind in blogging I know. </b></li>
<li><b>My Biology class and lab is stressful, but I know I'll get through it. </b></li>
<li><b>My Aunt (Mom's Sister) just found out she has cancer, possible stage 4. We'll know all the details tomorrow after their appointment with the oncologist. I'm guessing we'll get a good idea of what is going to happen and possibly how long she has to live. Its really hurting my whole family, we could use a little prayer or two. </b></li>
<li><b> I've been at my mom's house, upstate, for a week. I just got back yesterday. </b></li>
<li><b> Weight loss has been going good, except when I was at my mom's house. I probably gained a little bit. Travis and I had an agreement that when I get back home we are going to change the boy's bedtime to 8 at night instead of 9, so that we can work out together. (We have work out gear in our shed outside.) </b></li>
<li><b>I've decided not to weigh myself religiously anymore. It isn't about weight to me anymore but about being healthy. And getting to a point to where I feel good (and look good). In other word as long as I feel as if I look good then I'll be okay. </b></li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<b>So I'll leave you with a few fun things. </b><br />

<b> Grilled Cheese Dunkers and Tomato Soup </b></h2>
<b><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/313386/classic-tomato-soup" target="_blank">Tomato Soup Recipe (click here).</a> </b><br />
<b>Grilled Cheese Dunkers:</b><br />
<b>Slices of bread</b><br />
<b>Slices of Cheese </b><br />
<b>1 tbsp Butter </b><br />
<br />
<b>All you need to do is flatten the bread with a rolling pin, add a slice of cheese, then roll it up. Repeat! Add to a pan with melted butter and cook on each side until brown, and cheese has melted. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Note:</b><br /><b>The number of slices depends on how many you want to make. You could also take the crusts off and they would most likely look prettier. But I love the crust on a grilled cheese.</b><br />

The big hits today were a Fried Shallots salad. (Fried in Olive Oil) Super delicious and much better than the store bought fried onions.<br />
<br />
For dinner I originallywanted to make Chicken Georgia, but realized we had a lot of left over pot roast. The guys had that, and I had some Cajun Salmon, green beans cooked in leftover pot roast juice, crinkle carrots, cucumber salad, and a fresh sweet corn cob.<br />
<br />
I've had so much pot roast for the past 2 days that I think I am going to blow up. <br />
<br />
The way I make my Cajun salmon is so simple. I make it all the time, seriously! <br />
<b>Cajun Salmon</b><br />
1 tsp olive oil<br />
McCormick Cajun Seasoning<br />
Garlic Salt<br />
Ground Black pepper<br />
<br />
-Season to taste, and cook until brown on each side. I like my skin side slight black, as you can see. :) <br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
Breakfast: Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal made with water, 1 strawberry whey protein scoop with 2 tbsp 2 % milk and 3 large strawberries sliced.<br />
<br />
Lunch: Fresh Tomato and Corn Salad with Chicken(Recipe Coming soon.)<br />
<br />
Dinner: 2 hot dogs sliced with ketchup, mustard, sauteed onions in olive oil, and 1 cup romaine, 1 tbsp Ken's lite creamy Caesar dressing, 1bsp shredded Parmesan.<br />
*Weird combo, I know. I went bun-less *pats self on back* I love hot dogs, my kids love hot dogs, everyone in this house loves hot dogs. Hot dogs do not love me. I wouldn't have bought them when we went grocery shopping but we had like 4 hot dog buns leftover from our camping trip that we needed to use before they went bad. It worked that I went bun-less because Travis could have 2 and the boys had 1 each. <br />

Ohmygosh. I really can’t believe I haven’t posted in like a
week. I've had my posts written out on my phone for days but it just didn't want to publish. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, let me mention that my camping trip was fun with a mixture of
miserable. It rained almost the whole time. We left a day early. However we did
get a day with about 6 hours of sunlight and we made the most of it. We went
hiking, looked at jams and jellies, played games, and played in the pool with
the kids. Then it began to rain again and we decided to take the kids bowling. The
day before that it rained but we went out to eat for lunch and Big Mike’s in
Brevard, NC. I did well, and had a Greek salad with chicken. However, because
it rained the whole time I didn’t eat as well as I had originally planned that
I would. We had everything planned out where we would be mostly eating whatever
we could cook on a campfire, but that was impossible. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a lot of processed junk, but this week I
am trying to get back on track. Actually today is the first time I really am
getting back on trap with keeping up with pictures. Which reminds me, I should
mention, I didn’t have time to track my food with my Sparkpeople app or to take
pictures to help track.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, it wasn’t so bad. We had a lot of help with Liam.
Sleeping in a tent wouldn’t have been so bad (especially with the air mattress)
except it was just so wet and damp in it. My covers felt like they never dried
from the first night when I got soak during a storm. Blake loved it but he
slept in a cabin with his aunt and cousins the last 2 nights, and in a big tent
with his uncle and cousin. He also REALLY liked bowling. So I suppose we will
be doing more of that. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>
He did really well hiking too. We hiked along a trail to triple falls, and he
kept up really well. Liam rode on his grandpa’s shoulders for most of the trip
and then on mine for the last little stretch. I really wish there were more
hiking opportunities as beautiful and neat as the ones in the mountains. We
didn’t get a chance to go biking but I really hope that we can go soon. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think next time we’ll need to rent a cabin
too, and then maybe pitch a tent outside. I did have a really great time, and I
know it would’ve been a lot better had it not been raining. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As far as eating goes, we just went grocery shopping last
night. The days before that after we got home from camping our supplies were
low. I had to come up with some off the wall things, which ended up being
pretty delicious. I was please. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bad things= we lost a goose. Benson. I’m not sure if he just
went in to the woods of if something got him. We also lost the baby kitten, and
my cat. I think with all the rain and our yard flooding my cat must’ve gotten
really worried and ran off. She had her kitten under the house, which was also
flooded. We heard it crying when we got home which was pretty late. Travis had
to crawl under the house. Apparently the little guy was in a puddle all alone.
Travis gave him a bath. We made some pedialytle and milk replacement. But it
just wasn’t helping. He was lethargic and not drinking. We made him comfortable
and kept trying through the night but he didn’t make it. I haven’t seen my cat
since we got home on Saturday so there is no telling where she is. She acts
like a wild cat when she is outside. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m on my second week of classes. Last week didn’t go so
well but it must’ve been from not being able to study. </div>

I've talked about making buffalo chicken egg rolls, and buffalo chicken in wraps. But not buffalo ranch chicken on buns, followed by buffalo chicken salad. It's delicious, and easy! I usually make this for just Travis and I. Then I'll make the boys something different. I can't wait until the boys go in to the boy-guy-man phase of liking spicy things. When I make this for just Travis and I we usually have it for dinner and lunch the next day. </div>

Tonight I was making tacos, and as I'm browning the meat...I'm feeling really grossed out by it. Sometimes I'm very anti-red meat. Plus I wanted to have some leftover meat so that Travis could have Tacos for lunch tomorrow at work. So, I thought to myself no problem I'll just make myself some chicken fajitas with my leftover chicken...except I didn't have any peppers. Then, I was like...who needs chicken? Or peppers? With all the squash and zucchini I have from the Summer crop this makes an easy simple meal. I'm always trying to come up with new ways to use my squash and zucchini. I love it sauteed as a side, but sometimes that gets boring and old. If you're like me, and you have so many tomatoes, squash, and zucchini either from relatives or your garden..(mine are from my relatives). This is an awesome recipe to use some of your Summer veggies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I ended up not adding my chicken to this because I checked out my tortillas, then my veggies and realized nothing else was going to fit in them! But this would be delicious with chicken, or shrimp! </div>

I never felt hungry though because if I would've then I probably would've added a salad in here. I think that's the thing, some days we just feel hungrier than others, and other days its like we can't eat enough. Does anyone else ever feel like that? <br />
<br />
Right after breakfast I had some down time on here. Then I left with the boys before lunch to the town over to see about adopting 2 wolf hybrids. I would've made time to eat lunch before leaving but I had to leave quickly and get to the animal shelter before anyone else could adopt them. Turns out the trip was all for naught because we didn't have any veterinarian proof that we have experience with wolf hybrids. After leaving the animal shelter I got the boys a snack, and myself a Clif bar...walked right past the doughnuts, pizza, candy, chips, and hots dogs. After the boys and I got home Blake and I worked outside on our "outside chores"- feeding animals, playing with them, and refilling everyone's water outside. By the time we were done with that, Travis got home and we left to pick up a few things grocery wise before we can get around to doing our big shopping trip in a few days. On the way to the store we stopped at the store so everyone could get a snack and drinks (again). Instead of getting real chips I got the special k cracker chips...pretty good, actually.. I was surprised.<br />
<br />
When I got home I had just enough time to make a pizza before we got hit by a summer storm. I don't usually have busy days that are unplanned, so this is pretty random for me. I'm still patting myself on the back for making healthier choices.<br />
<br />
Well besides the pizza, but everything in moderation. I've learned enough after losing 40lbs to know that if I restrict myself, I will over-do it, and pig out on the next given opportunity. A slice gives me the satisfaction of eating pizza but without going overboard, especially if I add a nice side salad with it. <br />

I have been searching and searching for awhile now trying to
find the perfect homemade flat bread recipe. Eventually, I decided to just put
a little bit of everything together and change up a recipe that I found to be
pretty good, but not quite there yet. This recipe is perfect because I don’t
need to use my oven and heat up my house during the summer time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also serves as a great mini pizza crust!
If your family requests it, then trust me, it is blog worthy. </div>

flat bread. Add a table spoon of olive oil and let that heat up. (Olive oil
will need to be replaced when cooking each round of flat breads. )</span></div>

dough rounds in the hot pan and prick the dough in several places with a fork

dough until golden brown on both sides, flipping several times while cooking.
It will take about 4-5 minutes per round. Repeat with the remaining pieces
until they are all cooked. Stack rounds on top off each other to keep warm.

As I was telling some family recently, I feel really comfortable right now. I'm happy with where I am. I know I've come along way...but I want to be fit and strong. I don't want anything to jiggle- at all!I think that blogging about it EVERY DAY and holding myself accountable through blogging will really help me NOT fall off the band wagon. So on some days there may be more than one post, or super long posts. Bare with me! :) <br />
<br />
Today I ate<br />
Breakfast: Egg, Cheese, and Bagel Thin Sandwich. 245 calories.<br />
<br />
Lunch: Creamy Caesar Creole Salmon Salad. 338 calories.<br />
<br />
Dinner: 2 loaded potato cakes= 222 calories + sauteed summer squash = 265<br />
<br />
Snack: Chocolate Pudding 90 calories<br />
<br />
Work Out<br />
Nothing serious, just ran after the kids with silly string. Cleaned the truck. Did a lot of heavy cleaning. After all that I was exhausted. <br />

I'm not sure why Blake isn't sleeping lately. I just hope he isn't a grumpy butt. Thank goodness I made some muffins yesterday because I was NOT up for cooking this morning. Even if I knew I had to wake up early regardless. Today I have to head to a town near-by-ish where my Dad lives, take the boys to him, and then take pictures of a 6 month old for some old friends of mine. I have to leave my house by 11, it is about 8 now. Luckily I made a set list for my family and a to-do list of things I need to do, mostly before I leave me house.<br />
<br />
<b>To Do List </b><br />
<ul>
<li><b>Recipe Blog Post </b></li>
<li><b>Feed Chickens</b></li>
<li><b>Feed Rabbit </b></li>
<li><b>Feed Dog </b></li>
<li><b>Feed Kids (lol) </b></li>
<li><b>Start Chicken Gumbo in the Crock Pot </b></li>
<li><b>Find Crochet Tomato Hat and Box </b></li>
<li><b>Find Picture Frame Clean basket and Owl </b></li>
<li><b>Charge Camera Battery </b></li>
<li><b>Get Dressed </b></li>
<li><b>Get Makeup on </b></li>
<li><b>Load up the Truck with the Above </b></li>
<li><b>Load up the Truck with Donations to Goodwill</b></li>
<li><b>Pack a Bag for the Boys</b></li>
<li><b>Pack Camera Bag</b></li>
</ul>
<b> </b>Yeah, I need some motivation to get started. I have some really cute ideas and I believe the mommy and daddy of the 6 month old does too. Should be super CUUUUUTE! And I'll try to share a sneak peek on here later. For now though, I will leave you with a muffin recipe.<br />

<br />
First, let me explain... a little thing about Travis, that I've probably explained before. Travis is super picky, I'm pretty sure that might be where Liam gets it from. The WHOLE time we lived in Montana we NEVER ate pork chops because he said he didn't like them, because he didn't like the way his mom use to make them. WHAT??? Yeah. So, fast forward a few years Travis and I are both back in SC in the middle of remodeling our house so staying between parents. I'm at my dad's house making dinner for everyone and I make BBQ pork chops. Then, I remember Travis doesn't like pork chops. Then, I think to myself..oh well if he doesn't eat them he will starve. Travis eyeballs them and I can tell he's like ewww but he won't say anything in front of my parents. We sit down and eat, and what do you know? Travis loves them. We've moved up since then to breaded pork chops. I try not to fry much these does so when I bread them, I bake them. <br />
<br />
Another husband funny, he doesn't eat veggies. The past week and a half I've been cooking for just us..so I make our food and then I make a veggie on the side for myself. The other night I made some mini meatball subs for us with french fries for Travis and carrot fries for myself. He eyeballed my carrots and asked if he could try one and guess what...he LIKES them. The same thing happened the other night when I sauteed some summer squash, he asked if he could try them, liked them, and wouldn't get off my plate. Haha. SOO, yes! Wife win! <br />

Breaded Pork Chops<br />
6 pork chops<br />
1 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
1 teaspoon seasoning salt<br />
2 eggs, beaten<br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">¼</span> cup all-purpose flour<br />
2 cups Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs<br />
4 Tablespoons olive oil<br />
<br />
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse pork chops, pat dry, and season with garlic powder and seasoning salt to taste. Place the beaten eggs in a small bowl. Dredge the pork chops
lightly in flour, dip in the egg, and coat liberally with bread crumbs. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the
pork chops 5 minutes per side, or until the breading appears well
browned. Transfer the chops to a 9x13 inch baking dish, and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.<br />
<br />
And in good two-fer fashion this is how I turned leftovers in to a delicious salad for lunch. :) <br />

Any Dressing of your choice works, a light ranch is nice here though.

These pictures really do not give this recipe justice...but it was a really great mixture of sweet. Typically I don't like anything sweet but the combination of strawberries and cucumbers really works. I have more relish than necessary on my salmon because...I really liked it. :) I used some leftovers on top of yogurt..SO GOOD. <br />

They are delicious and they have lighter versions. You can usually find them in the deli section of your grocer. The two places I've found them is the commissary and Walmart. <div><br></div><div>Another thing, as most know, Liam is picky (like his dad) but pizza is his favorite. Usually I know that if I make him pizza he'll eat it.</div><div><br></div><div>We love homemade crust but who wants to roll out dough and spend hours making it all the time. Not I!

A lot. Could I stop serving my family it? No. I'm in a house full of boys. You take their sausage and bacon away...they will riot! Luckily there are smarter choices like chicken sausage which offer lighter versions of smoked sausage. Today I want to share with you a tidbit I learned awhile ago. Growing up we use to have sausage just sliced like coins. As a family we would go to a country restaurant some of you may know as Lizard's Thicket. I use to LOVE their smoked sausage and I don't know why, I didn't think about it until I was an adult that I probably loved it based on the way they cut it. I tested it out, and YEP...so much better. A favorite I like to so with smoked sausage is to saute some banana peppers and onions with it, then top it with sauerkraut...Guy meal? Yes! <br />

If I do a work out I WANT to feel sore the next day, or it doesn't feel like it is working right? This is a just arms work out I like to do whenever during the day when I have time. It is easy to do certain strength exercises in the den with the kids than it is to get full on cardio done. Arms is verrrry easy to do with the munchkins on board.<br />

I feel as if I haven't blogged in forever. I know it has been awhile. I'd like to say I've been busy, but that isn't very true. haha We have the boys back, so maybe its just me trying to get use to a routine again.<br />
<br />
My little brother GRADUATED high school. I'm so proud of him. He has a Life Scholarship and got in to a certain program at USC. I really don't think that there are words to describe how proud EVERYONE is of him. <br />

<b>I am a FUR-Baby grandma.</b> :) *Kitty's Birth Story* Last Friday before we left to go to my brother's graduation upstate she was bleeding a little. I assumed that she was going in to labor and figured she would have the kittens when we were gone, even though I felt like it was too soon. She wasn't very big at all. But no kittens, until a few days later. We were all in our living room, kitchen, dining room area after dinner, this is the room we have our black couch that folds out in to a bed. During the bath-time bed-time madness it is dark in that room and she blended in to the couch. So while I was walking in and out of that area I didn't see her at all. After I got the boys to bed I thought to myself, "Hmmm where is the cat?" Mainly because every night I have to bring her in to our den area which has a door that closes it off from the rest of the house, otherwise she will go in to Blake's room in the morning or in the middle of the night and bother him. I turn on the light and notice she's halfway under the blanket I keep on the couch. It is still pretty dim in that room even with the light on. I reach down to grab her and notice it's wet. At first I think, dernit Liam must've peed on the couch. Then I noticed something wriggling, almost have a heart attack. And then I grab a flash light to look closer. Yep, one little all black kitten. I moved them in to a safer place ans cleaned the couch up. At least it is a black couch, no stains. Last night she seemed to think the safe place isn't safe anymore and now keeps moving her baby around..but there are only so many spots in our small house she can move the little guy/gal..whatever it is.<br />
<br />
I've been pretty down this week and I think because it has been both hot and wet. I can't go for a run outside because it is so wet, and the treadmill in Travis's shed is just so depressing. It's hot and gross in there. I'm really hoping I can talk him in to moving it in to the house. I'm thinking I'll run around that house on the days Travis works and I can't really leave and run down the road. On the days he doesn't have to work I may ride my mountain bike because that KILLS my arms, especially my triceps...which is what I want to be killed. I'm just in a serious rut and I need to dig myself out.<br />

In other news, summer veggies are coming in from Papa's garden. I'm going to start calling him Papa Claus..most morning I wake up to him bringing us grocery bags of squash, cucumbers, potatoes, and green beans...today he brought that plus some green tomatoes. He told me I could sit them on the windowsill and they would turn....yeah maybe one or two will get there, I LOVE ME SOME FAUX FRIED GREEN TOMATOES and last year I created the BEST recipe using panko and cheese. I've been dying to try an onion dip..I think I will make that as well. Needless to say, you know what I'm having for lunch today! :)<br />
<br />
I'll try to come back tonight with some recipes and a picture of the kitty! Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
