Spiritual Sunday: Moments that Matter Most

2011-09-18T12:42:00.000-07:00

We would do well to slow down a little, focus on the significant, lift up our eyes, and truly see the things that matter most. -President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

My husband and i were watching this and thought of our son Tito. being a new mom i'm always worried about things getting to mussy, Tito getting hurt or me getting to angry. After watching this i realized that it is ok to let things slip every so often to allow Tito to grow and learn. I heard/read a quote somewhere that said, roughly, an unclean kitchen, unfolded laundry, & a dirty living room are signs of a good mom.. in that case i'm the best mom ever. Every time i get uneasy about things getting out of hand i think of this quote and feel so much better about things. I love listening to Tito Laugh and talk and I love to watch him move & learn new things. SO just remember to make the Best of the moments that matter most.

Fall is in the Air

2011-09-17T20:44:00.000-07:00

College Football is Here...

It is so weird that this Rivalry game is being played in September and not in November. I'm use to having the Thanksgiving Hangover and watching this game... and everyone else is in hoodies and sitting in the snow.. this year everyone is in t-shirts and i just have a junk food hangover.

But during half time (after my little man FINALLY fell asleep {he has a stuffy nose, and little cough}) I started looking at all the Yummy Fall foods i am so ready for (i had my husband stop by the store on his way home for working out to get some some Apple Cider.. Yep i'm in the mood for Fall food)

So here are a few of the yummy things i look forward to making for the next few months.

Most are from "Our Best Bites"

Chicken Pot Pie...Our Best Bites

Baked Zucchini Fries... Our Best Bites

We made these the other night and they were SO good. no need for sauce...

that cuts down on the calories too..

Stove Top Kettle Corn... Our Best Bites

Caramel Apple Cider... Our Best Bites

I love Apple Cider

How about some yummy soup when it gets cold(er)

What i'm reading

2011-09-15T14:32:00.000-07:00

So i put "The Work & The Glory" on hold for a little while so i could read this FABULOUS Book!

The Help by Kathryn Stockett takes place in Jackson Mississippi in 1942. A young girl comes home from college and is looking for a job. She wants to become a writer. She gets in contact with an editor in New York who tells her to write about something that disturbs her. She decides to write a story from the view point of the maids and what it's like working for their families.

I'm not quite done yet... but i LOVE it!

My son is a stud... but i'm kind of bias. I just edited ,via Picnik, a picture i took of him coming after me and thought i would share his studly-ness. He is almost 7 1/2 months old (already!?!) and is crawling like crazy, trying to walk and stand up, & flirts like non other. He says Dada, Buzz's his lips, & Loves to sing (he says lala too.) He is a Mama's boy for sure... but here is a super cute picture of him!..

Tasty Tuesday: Crock Pot Old Fashion Beef Stew with Lion house rolls

2011-09-05T11:48:00.000-07:00

Crock Pot Beef Stew:

2 lbs. beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes

1/2 cup flour

2 Tablespoons oil

1 bay leaf

2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 onion, chopped (opt)

2 Knorr Beef Bouillon cubes

1/2 tsp. pepper

2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. sugar

6 carrots, peeled and sliced

1 cup sliced celery (opt)

4 lg. potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes

4 cups water

Coat meat with flour; set excess flour aside. In large skillet heat oil. Brown meat on all sides. In slow cooker, combine browned beef, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, chopped onion, bouillon cubes, pepper, salt, sugar, and vegetables. Pour water over all. (Almost to the top of your slow cooker). Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours. Turn control on high. Thicken with flour left over from coating (about 1/4 cup) dissolved in a small amount of warm water. Cover and cook on high 10 to 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Makes 6-8 servings. Serve with

Lion House Dinner Rolls.
2 cups warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup butter, shortening, or margarine
1 egg
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions:

In a large bowl of an electric mixer or Kitchen Aid, combine water and dry milk powder, stirring until milk dissolves. Add yeast, then sugar, salt, butter, egg, and 2 cups of the flour. Mix on low speed until ingredients are wet. Increase mixer speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes. Add 2 cups flour; mix on low speed until ingredients are wet, then for 2 minutes at medium speed. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix again until dough is soft, but not overly sticky, and NOT stiff. *Note: It is not necessary to use the entire amount of flour.

Scrape dough off sides of bowl and pour about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil all around sides of bowl. Turn dough over in bowl so it is covered with the oil. (This helps prevent the dough from drying out.) Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Sprinkle cutting board or counter with flour and place dough on floured surface. Roll out and shape as desired. Place on greased or parchment lined baking pans. Cover with clean towel, or cover lightly with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place until rolls are doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter while hot. Makes about 1 1/2 to 3 dozen rolls, depending on shape and size of rolls.

Note: This recipe can be doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled if you have a large enough bowl.

Pictures to come..

Sorry for the absent... i have been in a blogging slump....Trying to get things organized again, De-junking, & trying to get my little Tito on a schedule (it's harder then you think)
But when i do have time (when i am trying to fall asleep, down time at work, letting the little guy tear apart my living room) i have been reading this fabulous book.

It has taken me a while to get to this volume but it is really good. I really like historical stuff & lovey dovey stuff too so this is a great book for that. I love the Family oriented plot & how much i can relate to it.

Tasty Tuesday: Teriyaki Chicken with Mango Pineapple Salsa!

2011-06-28T20:33:00.000-07:00

Teriyaki Grilled Chicken with Mango Salsa
4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Season chicken with lots of black pepper, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder

Mango Pineapple Salsa
1 1/2 c. fresh or canned pineapple chunks
1 mango, skin removed, seed removed and diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced small
1/4 c. red or white onion, diced small
1/4 c. cilantro, chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced (or leave seeds in for more spice)
Juice of one lime
Pinch of salt

Teriyaki Sauce:
1 c. fresh or canned pineapple juice (juice from pineapple can is fine)
1/2 c. soy sauce
1 T. ginger, minced (or ginger powder)
1/3 c. brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 T. apple cider vinegar
1/2 t. sesame oil
1 T. cornstarch
1 T. cold water

For the salsa, cut up all of the ingredients and place in a bowl to marinade until the chicken is done. For the chicken, lay out on a plate or on the counter and sprinkle heavily with all of the seasonings listed. You want your chicken to be 'jerk' style--nice and dark and thick with seasonings. Once the chicken is seasoned on both sides, grill on the barbecue until cooked through and golden brown.

For the teriyaki sauce, combine all of the ingredients together and whisk until smooth. Once the sauce is combined, turn on the heat and begin to boil until sauce begins to thicken. Once the teriyaki sauce is thickened, set aside--about 5-10 minutes.

On a plate, place your grilled chicken. Spoon a good amount of pineapple salsa over the chicken. Drizzle with the teriyaki sauce and serve. (If you are making this meal ahead, you can marinate the chicken in some of the teriyaki sauce and then season and grill as I mentioned above--either way it will be tasty!)

[Work Out] Wednesday: My Starting weight is...

2011-06-15T07:00:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking lately & i have a lot of motivation to lose 10 lbs.
1)Mrs. Caroline Peterson: I went to school (elementary to high school) with this sweet girl. She has been posting a lot on facebook and has just started a blog. she has lost about 40 lbs. already is going to keep going. check out here lovely blog.

(picture is link)

2) SIL (sister in law) Kyla: She just started this Nutrisystem thing. She is on a journy to loose weight also. check out her story at funkypolkadotgiraffe.

3) A Healthier life: If i keep living a sedentary Life style then my 10 lbs. to loose is going to be a lot more. With each baby i'll just keep growing & i won't have any motivation to get moving. It will be a lot harder to lose & a lot more "painful."

4) Baby Tito: I want to be a healthy Mommy. i want to be active and be able to keep up with this little man. I would like to be a good example to him on how to stay healthy.

(isn't he Cute?)

4) Mr. Mike: I want to stay healthy for my hubby. I would love to be the same size that i was in high school but i don't know if that will happen with these baby bearing hips. If i'm healthy that means Mike gets to be healthy .. He wants to loose some weight and i would like to help him.

(isn't he handsome?)

5) For me: After having Tito I haven't felt the same, like any other women i guess. It wasn't Postpartum depression just tired, not was healthy as before, and just spread thin. Between being a wife & mother i feel like i have no time for myself. The time i would get when i lived in Salt Lake would be spent cleaning sleeping or cooking. I don't mind cooking or cleaning or sleeping, but things just never felt like they where getting done. Now that i am living with my In-laws during the summer i have more time for myself. My time still goes to mike, tito, laundry & cleaning, but now i have time to WORK OUT! & blog... Working out is going to be my time to focus on me. going on a walk/run by myself to think about things, to relax, also eating well makes me feel better. I just don't want to feel crappy, sick, full, heavy, fat, loaded, etc. so

MY STARTING WEIGHT IS...

126.5

Goal Weight is...

115

(is this realistic?)

Let me know about your story....

Monday {To Do List}:Kitchen Organization

2011-06-13T07:00:00.000-07:00

I don't know about you but my kitchen NEEDS to be organized. So when we get back to our humble abode in July the kitchen is my first project (my apartment needs to be RE-organized)
Here are a few Ideas to help get your kitchen organized.
* Have an Assigned notebook for (get this) notes: You know all those crazy reminder notes that you are always sticking on your fridge or on the kitchen table. the solution: find a cute little notebook that you can leave on the counter or on the table so you can see it. You will use less paper & when you need the space simply move the notebook instead of a dozen post-its
* Downsize Your Cook books: If you are like me, you have TONS of cook books. I have favorite recipes in everyone & i can never find the one i want when i need it. A project that i have been trying to get done since i have been married is to organize my recipes. Now for the sake of the blog (and my sanity) i will get them all organized.
*Ditch the letter trays for Magazine files: They don't take up a lot of space and they are easy to access. you can even make your own magazine files if you don't want to send a lot of money. (i also need to organize my blog stuff so when if find the link i will post it.)
*Family Binders are really nice: Have a binder for all your important phone numbers (ward directory, school phone numbers, work numbers family numbers...) School Calenders, Frequent shopper cards, Schedules, Emergency contact info & even a list of repair persons. I even add our favorite foods & shopping list. Also stuff for babysitters.
*Use drawer organizers to keep the "junk drawer" neat & tidy: what junk should you keep in the "Junk Drawer?" Stapler, tape scissors, clips, rubber bands, sticky notes, permanent markers, pencils, pens, super clue, lip balm, hand creme & loose change.
*Use a family Wall Calendar: School holidays, appointments, trips all go on the family calendar.
*Store Items by use: Arrange your Kitchenware by frequency of use, With everyday dishes on an easy to reach lower shelf & special occasion pieces up above.
*Group Similar Objects & Designate a Cooking Zone: Group objects by purpose & assign them to specific cabinets. Create a cooking zone around the stove, storing pots & pans as close to the range as possible.
* Stash & Stow like items together & Tools efficiently: Keep plastic bags & wrapping together in a drawer near the refrigerator to make quick work of storing away leftovers. Stow essential tools together within easy reach of your cooking area for efficient food prep.

SO where do you start?

*Take Stock of what you have: Empty cabinets, pantry, refrigerator, & drawers. Have you been holding onto empty margarine containers, mismatched dishes and logo mugs that never see the light of day? Disposing of them will fee up valuable kitchen real estate!
* Take a look at your Counter space: if you see items on it that you do not use often, relocate them to a different area in your kitchen or basement/storage room. (here comes more counter space)
*Sort items by category: keep items of similar size, shape & type together. Stacking plates, keeping canned goods together & nesting spoons makes them easier to locate.
*Aim high when putting away seldom-used items: Reserve the higher shelves in your cabinents for items you don't use very much. keep mixing bowls, casserole dishes, glasses & other everyday items within easy reach. this will also reduce the risk of mishaps.
*Store for a view: Loose packets of Kool aide, salad dressing & other powdered drinks can be kept neat and easy-to-find in transparent containers stacked on the pantry shelf.
*Stack Smart: Pile plastic food storage containers by size, from large to small, inside one another. store matching lids in a separate pile also by size. When choosing containers keep in mind that square ones take up less room than round, while collapsible containers can save seven more space.

Let me know how your Kitchen organization project goes!

What i {want} Thursday: jewelry stuff...

2011-06-08T21:14:00.000-07:00

2011-05-24T07:00:00.000-07:00

This is another Yummy recipe that Mike really likes and we got it from the Dinner Co-op too. My mom was saying that she had meatballs she had to get rid of so i figured we could share this recipe with her.

Sweet & Sour Meatballs over rice
-one Bag frozen meatballs
- 1/2 cup. pineapple juice (put chunks aside for later)
-1/3 cup vinegar (a little less)
-1 tbsp soy sauce
-1 tbsp cornstarch
-1/2 cup sugar
Warm frozen meatballs in a fry pan.
-Add the following sauce to meatballs
cook until thick then add the pineapple chunks. Serve over rice. ENJOY!

[Work Out] Wednesday: Motivation.

2011-05-18T06:48:00.000-07:00

I have been lacking motivation or drive to want to work out lately. & it's hard to find time when i am taking care of Tito. when he is sleeping i want to sleep, relax, eat or clean. so the mornings (when i normally would work out) are not an option. When Mike gets home we are both worn out & we don't want to pass Tito onto his/my parents or our sisters. but i found a few tips to help me/us out.

* make a plan! Wanna-bes stay wanna-bes without a written plan that's simple & realistic. Going public also may help.

* Reward yourself! Finish your workout & treat yourslef to a magazine, TV show, some extra time with your family, some new songs for you IPOD, or even a little extra time for yourself. ( to night mine was an 80 calorie pop sickle)

* Set up a punishment for missing workouts! Skip the workout, put $20 into a jar to spend on home repairs. Make sure you spouse controls the jar. Skip a Workout, no dessert after dinner. Skip a workout, no new shoes or clothes.

* Review your goals everyday and every night. Keeping your goals fresh in your mind will help you stay on track.

* Realize that the hardest part of the work out is often getting your butt on the gym! once you get 5 minutes into the workout, you will be over the hump. So tell yourself "I'll just go in and do 1 set of the first 2 exercises, then i can go." Next thing you know, you'll have done the entire workout.

* Visualize yourself doing a great workout & finishing strong. Get yourself mentally prepared and you will literally have abetter workouts each time.

*Crank the tunes. Seriously, nothing motivates like music.

* Get social support. if you have a workout partner, you'll feel like crap if you let them down.

* Watch Biggest Loser while you work out. That is my motivation. sure i run during the commercials but those things can be 5 mins. long. Plus Bob & Jillian Yelling on the TV gets you moving.
