Ok this eating healthy thing is harder than it seems. Alot harder than I thought.

Chicken Capri

Rosemary Chicken w/ white beans, salad (from last week)

Pizza, made w/ pita bread

Pasta w/ sausage and broccoli

Something fish, no clue yet what.

Saturday- I work all night at crop at the LSS and DH and kids will be at sister's house for UFC fight

Sorry!

So sorry I haven't been on in awhile. Busy with sisters, then I got sick and had my boys here for spring break 2 weeks in a row. Plus lots of drama at work, but I hope to be back blogging this week.

I will leave you with these pictures from the easter egg hunt.

Wyatt was a little impatient,

wanted to start before everyone

else.

Menu Plan Monday

Ok so it's not Monday, but I have been off on my menu planning and now that my dear husband has been working out and eating healthy, I figure I better start making menus again so I can watch what we eat a little better.
I am so proud of this man, he was a burger (ok 2 burger) and fries kind of guy and he made this change and has stuck to it. Now before I met him, while he was in the Marines, he used to eat healthy and was way into body building so it's not new for him, just has been a long time.

So this is the menu through next weekend.

-Rosemary Chix w/ white beans, salad

-Steak, Herbed Zuchinni noodles

-Spicy Thai Shrimp , brown rice

-Turkey burgers, Homemade fries

-Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, salad

-Fish, scallops, veggies, Saffron rice

-Left overs

-Eat out one night (it never fails so I might as well plan for it)

I think I'm allergic to Spring break..

So a week ago, I got up and felt just fine, drove to a couple scrappin stores on my way to North Bend (1 1/2 hrs away) to pick my boys up for their spring break. We ended up taking the ferry home and I felt just fine. We stopped by my parents house at about 6pm, just to say hi and so the boys could see their Aunt Beth and her kids before they left the next day. Out of know where I get a sore throat and my head hurts, so we leave and go home. We all settle down for the night and I wake up the next morning and feel icky. I had to work a 1-6 shift at the store, I go in after medicating myself with sudifed. Felt yucky, but made it through the night, I get home and went straight to bed. And there I stayed until Tuesday afternoon when Ifinally went into the doctors.
AHHHH I felt so bad and was starting to have a real tight chest and it was getting harder to breath. The doctor (which is whole another story, I went to high school with the guy, weird) didn't say if I had anything or what it was and I didn't ask any question because he gave me a inhaler and put me on amoxicillin.
Let me tell you after just 2 doses of amoxicillin and a good night sleep I felt like a new woman. No more pain, chills, sweats, ok so i still have a bad loud rough cough and runny nose, but I feel so great compared to what I did for those 4 days.
So my poor boys took care of me for their spring break and had no fun. I had planned so much for us to do and instead I spent it in bed.
Sorry boys, but thank you for asking me everytime I coughed if 'I was ok' or evertime I woke up if 'I felt any better'. Love you two.

All grown up!

Stuff up at store

So I finally went into the scrap store I work at and took pics of the stuff I have up there. Here they are-

So the little bottles in the back are what I used to do these first three projects. They were alot of fun to play with, the brand is The Robin's Nest and I used Diamond Glaze to hold them on.

Steak Diane

So while waiting for my sister Dani to get back to her house today; I was watching Semi Homemade with Sanadra Lee and I saw her make this. It looks so yummy. I will be making it next week I think.

4 (3-ounce) filet mignon medallions, rinsed and patted dry

1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning (recommended: McCormick Grill Mates)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon crushed garlic (recommended: Christopher Ranch)

1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms

1/4 cup cognac

1 tablespoon steak sauce (recommended: A-1)

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth (recommended: Swanson)

1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped

Season both sides of filets with steak seasoning; set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add filets and cook for 2 minutes on one side. Turn and cook for 1 minute more. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove filets and set aside on a plate.
Remove pan from stovetop. Tip pan away from you and add cognac. With a (long match or lighter) ignite cognac, keeping pan tipped away from you at all times. When flame has burned out, return pan to stovetop. Stir in steak sauce, cream, and beef broth. Stir thoroughly and bring sauce to a simmer.
Return filets and any accumulated juices to pan. Coat with sauce and warm through. Stir in chives.
Place filets on warm plates. Spoon sauce and mushrooms over filets.

Count down...

Not even a day till my Birthday!
2 days till Kim gets here and
3 days till Beth gets here!

Yes OK I am posting whatever right now just trying to get to 150 posts tomorrow.

EGG project

Ok so the store that I work at got this new brand in, The Robin's nest, they are like glass/plastic beads. They are actually pretty fun, this is what I am working on to put up at the store. I also did a layout adn a few cards with it also, but haven't gotten pics of them, will tomorrow, they are up at the store.

Clip it up ideas

OK so right now clip it up is real big, but I have seen some really cool alternatives to it, so I thought I'd post pics and links to some other ways to get the same thing.



This one is from HeatherR's room. She used a dish towels dryer, one that hooks under your sink. Great idea.

This one is by Tallynt from SISTV. She just used an IKEA kitchen unit.

This is in bmwgirl1's scrap room. Great idea and it holds alot too.

Here is KristinH's

Oh and this is my fav not only did she use it for her clip it up system she put spools of ribbon on it too. She just used a thin curtain rod. Can't get any cheaper than that.
Well if you have an idea and would like me to share it please post a link in the comment. I'd love to share it.
