Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy Banana Oatmeal Donuts

Posted: 27 Aug 2012 08:00 PM PDT

I just love it when I find a recipe that is so delicious I can’t resist it, and yet is healthy enough that I don’t feel the least bit guilty indulging. This is just such a recipe! These tasty and healthy donuts are made from whole grains, fruit, and healthy fats, with no refined sugars. They’re also egg-free, wheat-free and dairy-free if you’re on a limited diet. And they don’t taste like any of that! They just taste like yummy. Want the recipe? Get it at the Grain Mill Wagon: Banana Oatmeal Donuts.

I’ve got one more delicious grain mill recipe coming up for you next week – you’re going to love it! Another healthified indulgence, my favorite.

This post was made possible by the Grain Mill Challenge.

Must Have Monday: Crane Adorables Humidifier

Posted: 27 Aug 2012 04:14 AM PDT

Fall is coming, whether I like it or not. I actually saw a tree with some leaves of bright red. You know what that means (besides an abundance of butternut squash). Cooler weather and drier conditions. In our house we heat with oil, which thus dries out our house. All of us in the Mom on the Run house have sensitivities to air pollutants, especially the girls. Daijia, my oldest, suffers from nose bleeds if the air becomes to dry from the electric heat. We have found that a good quality humidifier makes winter nights much more comfortable.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Sylvane about a new line of humidifiers, geared toward children. I knew that it would be a must have for the Mom on the Run family.

Who is Sylvane?

Sylvane sells indoor air quality products to help people (especially asthma and allergy sufferers) breathe clean and healthy air.Better air begins with knowledge. This idea is at the heart of everything we do — from choosing our products to assisting our customers. Sylvane are not simply experts in selling air treatment products. Sylvane are experts in air treatment. They are committed to providing you with the highest-quality products and the most reliable informational resources to help you create healthier indoor air, no matter what the season or air treatment issue. Whether your top concern is eliminating airborne allergens, controlling indoor humidity, boosting indoor comfort, or cleaning safely – Sylvane have a solution to fit your needs.

Sylvane is now offering Crane humidifiers. Crane has a series of baby/toddler humidifiers appropriately named Adorables. They are in the shape of little animals and the choices range from a green frog to an elephant that emits water vapor into the air from it’s trunk! Cool, right?

Since 2005 Crane has designed small home appliances with fun, innovative designs reflective of their belief that the home is a display of personal lifestyle and individual expression. Crane sought a creative way to provide the relief people desire in an exciting new format, with the understanding and knowledge that humidifiers provide congestion relief and people are increasingly seeking home environment improvements. By creating functional and efficient humidifiers combined with unique design elements, Crane updated the ordinary home appliance to an attractive product that reflects personal style and enhances the living space while providing dependable relief. Crane continues to expand, lending their name and "design for better living" to other small home appliances.

When the box arrived the girls were so excited to see our "new pet" live and in person. Our new pet is a…….

The girls being good big sisters let Baby A have the frog for her room. She was so excited!!

We set it up and tried it out. I was surprised how quiet the machine was. Great for a babies room. Here are some great other great features that I loved:

Provides Alternative Non-medicine Relief

Many pediatricians recommend the use of a humidifier as a safe, non-medicine alternative for relieving common cold and flu symptoms such as cough and congestion. An added benefit, this humidifier dispenses a cool mist that can help soothe dry skin, chapped lips, and even aids in preventing nosebleeds.

Built-in Automatic Shutoff Safety Sensor (HUGE BONUS FEATURE—LOVE IT)

This feature automatically turns the humidifier off when the tank is empty for safety.

Quiet Ultrasonic Operation

The use of ultrasonic technology creates the cooling mist quietly, with a noise level of less than 37 decibels at 3 feet away from the humidifier, meaning your child can get a restful, therapeutic night’s sleep.

Additional Features:

Energy-efficient – uses less power than a standard light bulb
Easy to use – just remove the water tank, unscrew the tank cap, and fill with water
Can provide up to 24 hours relief – on a medium setting, the 1 gallon tank is capable of delivering up to 24 hours of humidification, up to 2.1 gallons a day
Additional benefits – humidification also provides some relief for from problems caused by winter heating, like static electricity, cracks in paint and furniture, and peeling wallpaper
Cool humidification – unlike warm humidification, avoid the possibility of burns when a child touches the unit since the unit does not heat up

If you are looking for a great humidifier this winter season, visit Sylvane. You can't go wrong with this product. It gets a big Mom on the Run seal of approval.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free from Sylvane. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Gourmet Black Bean Tacos

Posted: 27 Aug 2012 08:03 PM PDT

My husband and I love Mexican food. A while back, we were at this restaurant where the tacos came out open-faced and with a bunch of gourmet toppings on top (cabbage slaw, cojita cheese, etc.). I decided to make my own version at home with a few traditional ingredients and one or two fun toppings to give it some extra flavor and a gourmet feel. I served them open faced and they looked beautiful!

These tacos are also especially healthy because I used soft corn tortillas (for extra fiber and none of the fat of crispy tacos), black beans (fiber + protein), tons of veggies – tomatoes, corn, red onions, avocado (antioxidants), and fresh shredded sharp cheddar (more protein).

The ingredient list was relatively simple: Soft corn tortillas, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (I used about 2-3 Tbsp per taco), 1 15oz can black beans, 1 15oz can of diced & fire roasted tomatoes, 3-4 cloves garlic, 1/2-3/4 cup frozen corn (not pictured), 1 avocado mashed with some lime juice (basically guacamole), 1 red onion diced, chopped cilantro (to taste)

The Directions

Step 1: Warm corn tortillas in the oven or microwave and chop all your veggies/toppings

Step 2: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add 1-2 tsp olive oil and saute the onion, garlic, tomatoes, corn and black beans until heated through.

Step 3: Assemble your tacos! Start with your tortilla, add the bean mixture, top with mashed avocado/guac, cheese, diced onions and cilantro.

My husband loved these and they were such a quick and easy meal to make – perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Are Wii Fit and Xbox Kinect effective forms of exercise?

Posted: 27 Aug 2012 09:21 AM PDT

Unless you've been living under a rock, you will have seen or heard about Nintendo Wii Fit, the keep fit games console owned by millions of us worldwide. Microsoft and Sony recently also jumped into the fitness market with the Xbox Kinect and Playstation Move, too. But today we answer the number one question from fitness enthusiasts and exercise lovers worldwide...

Shed Those Pounds Safely By Doing Cardiovascular Exercise

Posted: 27 Aug 2012 09:03 AM PDT

Counting calories and trying to stick to a strict diet simply doesn't work as a weight loss plan for most people. In the end, many of those people end up losing a bit of weight, but tend to put it all back on again the moment; they stop their diet. Then people tend to get into a cycle of dieting and stopping which isn't healthy. It is possible to lose weight the right way and then keep it off in the long run. It's possible all down to one thing: cardiovascular exercise.

Adult Onset Asthma Is Severe

Posted: 27 Aug 2012 08:41 AM PDT

Since individuals could bear in mind, bronchial asthma is a respiratory ailment that affects children generally at a very young age. Those who have been clinically determined to have asthma early in their lives need to deal with the negative effects of asthma not just in their health but also in their overall lifestyle. Many of them even need to undergo many years of being under medication because they couldn't handle being affected by asthma attacks. Nevertheless, recent studies have shown that asthma has also begun to build in adults who've lived for such a long time without one. The number one cause of asthma is the completely wrong way of living that they're maintaining. Sadly, not everybody is aware that even older people could be affected by asthma.

Probiotics Are A Great Way To Lose Weight

by Sol Rosenberg

It can be very difficult to keep your weight within an acceptable range. It is hard to keep your eye on the goal when temptation, in the form of great tasting desserts, is everywhere. This article contains tips and tricks that will let you get your weight loss goals closer to being accomplished.

Have a journal to track your daily calorie intake. Because you will be keeping track of everything you eat, you won't eat as much and you will make healthier food choices. Although exercise's importance can't be overstated, nutrition is still extremely important to drop pounds.

A good tip in losing weight is to have sex regularly. Sex has shown to lessen a persons cravings for harmful types of food. You will also find that sex is an excellent workout, with calorie-burning potential. There are even ways of having sex in which you can burn as many as 150 calories every 30 minutes.

TIP! Hypnosis is one method available to help with weight loss. You may find that having the weight loss mindset offered by hypnosis makes it easier for you to lose weight and improve your lifestyle.

Since you may have difficulty with the more traditional programs for weight loss, explore alternatives like Alli. This medication prevents a certain percentage of the fat you consume from being absorbed. Instead, it simply passes through. This and other supplements might be good for people who are trying to change their diets.

A great weight loss tip is to have some milk prior to eating. You will get a sense of fullness by drinking milk that may prevent you from overindulging during a meal. There is plenty of calcium in milk, which is good for bones and building muscle.

Although it may feel impossible, you will be able to reach your weight loss goals. You shouldn't simply measure your weight; measure the size of specifics like your legs, arms, and waist.

TIP! To lose weight successfully, you must replace the poor food choices in your diet with healthy, low-calorie alternatives. Get rid of any foods around the house, such as cakes and ice cream, that work against your weight loss goals.

500 Calories

There are ways to breakdown weight loss with numbers if you have a mathematical mind. About 3,500 calories equal a pound of fat. To shed one pound, you have to burn 3500 extra calories. To start, you can have a goal of burning 500 calories and work your way up from there. This allocation sets you up to safely and easily lose weight at the rate of one pound weekly.

Green tea can naturally speed up a person's metabolism, which in turn helps with weight loss. For added flavor, try adding honey or other natural sweeteners. Black tea can have similar healthy effects. In addition to raising metabolism, green tea also fortifies your immune system thanks to high levels of antioxidants.

TIP! Give yourself a reward every now and then. When dieting, if you hit a set milestone, reward yourself with a piece of candy or an alcoholic beverage.

Losing weight is easy if you start a cardiovascular routine. Called "cardio", cardiovascular exercise includes running, speed walking, biking and a lot of other activities that increase your heart rate. Increase your heart's beats per minute is the way to burn off body fat. Make an attempt to fit 30 minutes or more of cardiovascular exercise into at least 3 days of the week.

Weight Loss

As you know, it can be difficult to stick with your weight loss plan. There are so many unhealthy food choices that surround us every day. Use the tips given in this article to make your weight loss program work.

TIP! Before you take any diet pills, be sure to run it past your doctor first. Some diet pills on the market could be harmful to those with heart conditions or those who take certain medications.

Colon cleansers are a smart addition to your weight loss diet.

Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy Authentic Simplicity is Here!

Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy Authentic Simplicity is Here!

Authentic Simplicity is Here!

Posted: 26 Aug 2012 08:27 PM PDT

If you’re reading this via the RSS feed, you’ll want to click through and see the bee-yoo-ti-ful new design of what used to be Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy. It’s now Authentic Simplicity, which is pretty much the same thing, only it looks and sounds a lot better.

There’s more to come; it’s definitely not finished quite yet. I have a couple more pages to add, and I need to organize and fill up the sidebar still (sorry, there’s no search bar at the moment!). But do you see those pretty little social media icons up in the corner? It took me at least 2 hours to figure out how to get them in the right place without cutting off parts of the header or icons or eliminating the content wrap altogether. (I’m totally NOT a geek!) Henceforth and therefore, I had no more time to finish the rest of my blog transformation to-do list, so all that stuff will have to wait.

Speaking of those social media icons, all of them have been updated with the new name (although not necessarily the new design yet), except for Facebook, which is going to require me to jump through a few hoops. I don’t know how long that will take, and I do apologize for the confusion it might cause while the Facebook page is in limbo between Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy and Authentic Simplicity. I’m hoping that Facebook will grant my request to change the name rather than forcing you all to like a brand new page, so that you don’t have to jump through any hoops.

So … have fun and explore a little! Some pages that might interest you:

I have a brand spanking new About Authentic Simplicity page, as well as a new About Me page (with pictures!).

My four main categories (with multiple sub-categories) are:

At Home (all things related to housekeeping, child-rearing, and the like)

In the Budget (money-saving ideas mostly)

On My Mind (anything I feel like sharing!)

On the Table (recipes and tutorials)

I am so excited about this new look and new bend in the road! I hope you’ll stick around for the rest of the journey!

OH! I can NOT forget to say a huge “THANK YOU!” to my awesome husband, who designed the header and helped me with the rest of the design and some minor – and major – coding issues. It’s kind of nice, being a blogger, to be married to a graphic designer and electronic publishing coordinator (his day-job title). A providential match, to be sure!

Thank you for subscribing to Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy! Here's your free copy of Spring Into Smoothies All Summer Long. Enjoy!

Most people suffering bad posture and back pain may be categorized into one of two classifications. Some have posture problems because of their back pain. Others suffer back problems due to bad posture. While the best time to correct ones posture is during youth, which may no longer be a possibility for individuals suffering pain. A Sudbury chiropractor can ensure there are no spinal abnormalities causing the problems with pain and posture. Once it is determined that the spine is sound structurally, it is time to move to ease the pain.

All of these choices require lotions and can be expensive, so finding discount tanning lotion that achieves the same results often drives choices.

Useful Ideas To Help You Lose Weight

by Sol Rosenberg

If you want the body that you dream of, you will need to take control over what you eat and how active you are, so that you can become healthier and slimmer. The following paragraphs will help you figure out what you need to do to lose weight and wear those old clothes that have been sitting in your closet for ages.

It is advisable to spread your meals out throughout the day. You will do much better by eating several small meals rather than three big ones. You will boost your metabolism this way.

One way to help you to lose weight is to exercise with a close friend. You can have fun while at the gym instead of treating it as a chore. Working out with a partner will also make you secrete more adrenaline, which will improve your workout.

TIP! Cardio is an effective exercise when trying to lose weight. For older people and those with poor joints, swimming can be an excellent exercise for losing weight, and also tones your body.

You can lose weight by slowly reducing the number of calories you consume every day. A good, general rule is to eventually cut your daily calorie consumption by 500 calories.

When you begin your diet, establish realistic goals. If your goal is not realistic, it won't be met. Even if you are trying to just drop 20 pounds in too short a period of time, you're just setting yourself up for failure. Instead of setting such an unrealistic goal, give yourself more time and set a goal that you may be able to attain for that specific week. Look at the trees rather than the forest. Think about your weekly weight loss instead.

Muscle Mass

TIP! As you lose weight, there is nothing wrong with succumbing to a bit of vanity. Seeing the results that you are working so hard at can help to keep you motivated and on track.

There are a couple of different reasons why eating a high-protein diet is good for weight loss. Proteins are essential to increase your muscle mass and will not make you gain weight like carbs do. Work out and eat plenty of proteins to build muscle mass, which means you should burn more calories.

To lose weight more easily, try using smaller dishes. Most people fill their plates or bowls with food, however plate sizes have increased over the years along with portion sizes, and it can be difficult to easily tell the how much is the right amount of food. By swapping your dinner plate for a salad plate, for instance, you can trick your eyes into believing you have more food than you really do.

When coming up with weight loss goals, make sure they are attainable. You are not going to lose 50 pounds in two days. Creating goals which you can attain is good motivation to help keep you going. Remember that unrealistic goals lead to certain failure. Set a goal to lose about one to two pounds a week.

TIP! Starting a cardiovascular routine can help you lose weight easily. Cardio includes running, walking and riding on the bicycle or elliptical at the gym.

By including veggies into your diet, you will lose more weight as they have excellent weight loss properties. These vegetables have all sorts of nutrients that will help optimize your health. They contain a lot of minerals, vitamins and fiber. Excellent green vegetables include spinach, broccoli, kale, green beans, and more. Try adding these to your own diet for better results.

Weight can be a touchy subject for some. However, if you stick to a diet plan and understand the best methods to lose weight, you might find the right plan for you. Hopefully this article provided some helpful advice to get you on the right track to health.

Colon cleansers are a smart addition to your weight loss diet.

Even More Cheap Organizing Suggestions {Organizing on the Cheap}

Posted: 23 Aug 2012 09:01 PM PDT

I’m so happy you are here with us this week for 5 Days of Organizing – more than 20 bloggers will be bringing you daily inspiration for organizing every aspect of your life. And with back-to-school days breathing down our necks, we all need it!

Have you ever been frustrated by all the creative organization ideas you see in magazines and on blogs, only to realize that you simply can’t afford (or don’t want to spend the money) all those gorgeous bins, boxes, baskets and other containers? Me, too! I’ve learned to organize my home (uh, to a certain extent) without spending an arm and a leg, and I’ll be sharing my tricks with you all week long. Stick with me for great cheap organizing ideas!

Today’s your last chance to enter the giveaways! You can enter the cash giveaway right here on this blog post – just scroll down to the bottom – and if you click on the footer image, you will be directed to a page with a whole bunch of other giveaways.

I am not the only crazy person who organizes her home with other people’s cast-offs, recyclables, and cardboard boxes (Hey! Sometimes I get new stuff at the Dollar Store!). A quick browse through Pinterest reveals that many other people prefer to re-use, recycle and repurpose when it comes to organizing their homes.

Proof? Here ya go:

Take an old cylindrical wipes container and use it to store and dispense plastic bags. Keep one in the car, one under the kitchen sink, one in the diaper bag, and one in the beach bag!

This blogger used containers from IKEA to store kids' games and card games. I like IKEA and all - hey, it's cheap! - but I happened to have a surplus of empty wipes containers (the box kind this time) that served exactly the same purpose! Now the Toy Story 3 Memory game is neatly contained. Awesome.

So simple, so quick, so CUTE! I love this idea from Martha Stewart. Now I just have to find some of those adorable little tins somewhere.

I need to remember this idea from My Repurposed Life the next time I'm staring at a shutter in an antique or thrift store and wondering, "Now what was that really cool project I was going to do?"

This is one of those head-smackers. You know, the kind where you smack your head and say, "Now why didn't I think of that?!" Repurpose old TicTac boxes into bobby pin holders (perfect for your purse!).

Use a toilet paper tube to corral cords. Brilliant!

From oven rack to jewelry organizer. That's just about the coolest thing ever. From Just Sew Sassy.

Do you have an organizational idea for repurposed items? Do share!

Visit these blogs for lots more ideas on organizing your kitchen, your office, or your homeschool room!

Super Meaty Muffin Meatloaf

Posted: 23 Aug 2012 04:26 AM PDT

Ohhhhhhh!!! Back To School

Back To School

To Prove To Dad That I’m Not A Fool

I’ve Got My, Lunch Packed Up

My Boots Tied Tight

I Hope I Don’t Get In A Fight

Ohhhh!! Back To School Back To School

-Billy Madison-

It is that time of year. Yes-Back to School outfits have been purchased and supplies (at least the ones we know about) are in the respective back packs already. Nothing like being prepared. Now if I can get my own butt in gear. It has been a rough week of getting up with the sound of the blaring bedside alarm. I am glad I get a "preview" week by myself and then next week I can add the girls into the routine.

Besides going back to school we have also started back up with nightly soccer practices. Night time activities means easy to prepare dinner. Meatloaf is one of my go to quick meals that I know I can make and the whole family enjoys. I use my handy muffin tins to shortened cooking time. The muffin tins also help with portion size and are so easy to freeze. My girls like it because it is kid-sized.

Here's the tasty recipe to make for your family on those busy nights. This is one of those recipes you can make on a Sunday night and freeze for later in the week. I made extra myself to make my own "Lean Cuisine" dinners. Nutritious and Delicious!

Mom on the Run's Meaty Muffin Meatloaf

By: Mom on the Run

Ingredients:

1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1 pound fresh Italian Sausage, casings removed
3 tbsp Gluten Free Bread Crumbs
1 egg
1/2 cup of finely chopped onion
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp Worchester sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 oz crumbled feta
1 cup prepared tomato sauce

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combines ground meats, bread crumbs, egg, onion, oregano, Worchester sauce, and salt and pepper. Combine ingredients until incorporated into each other. This can be a messy step so don't be afraid to use those hands.

Divide the beef mixture among the greased muffin cups, packing well and mounding slightly. Top each "muffin" with prepared tomato sauce and crumbled feta. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet and bake until cooked through and browned on top, 40 minutes.

Here is a close up of the meatloaf madness.

Paired with a little bit of gluten free pasta and vegetables this meatloaf is a wonderful quick weekday meal.

I do have one change for next time. I realized afterwards that I have a ton of fresh basil growing in my garden. It would have been a nice touch to make a tomato basil sauce to "glaze" each meatloaf with. Maybe next week!

Are you preparing for the Back to School Rush? Any tips for this busy Mom on the Run! I am hoping to catch up on my favorite blogs.
