Back to it...

Gonna give a try at this blogging thing again. So here goes.  A few favorites as of lately.

1.  These guys are the bomb.  I eat them often. Great for a light meal or with a salad. I've only tried the pepperoni, but there are other varieties.

2. Parmesan Crusted Chicken - Ifirst tried this at Longhorn, and adored it, so I thought I'd give my hand at trying to make it. I found this recipe when browsing some other blogs, and just subsituted chicken for the meat. Yummy.

3. Culturelle Probiotic for Kids. My sweet girl was unfortunately plagued with the recent stomach virus, and has had a rough go getting over it.  I think these little packs of probiotics played a role in finally getting her stomach re-settled into its normal routine, there are other brands, but this is what I found locally.  You can give this to your child all the time, or to help overcome digestive upset.



Okay well that's all folks for today. I know it was random, but hey I'm random. :)  

LIFE

So, This blogging isn't going as great as I want. I want to be creative, to have an awesome blog everyone wants to read, but I haven't gotten there yet. I have lost my motivation for blogging, for working, for pretty much everything. I'm in a lull!  Life's been crazy the last couple of weeks. My little girl had her adnoids and tonsils removed on May 16th, and I've been completely worn out and bummed since then. I didn't eat much for the entire week she was in so much pain, and lost like 4lbs and since then I've some how managed to gain 8lbs. I go to the beach in like 17days and I'm quite sure my swimsuits won't fit. That's so depressing. I thought summer would cheer me up, give me some insipiration, but nope not found it yet.  I keep hoping I will. I need it. Inspiration come to me!!!! Please!!

2 NEW RECIPES

I'm trying to be healthier, it's not going wonderful but I'm trying to make modifications that will stick and not ones that will be temporary. Here are two new recipes I've tried recently that I really like.

First: Guiltless French Toast

2 egg whites
1/2cup orange juice
1tsp of vanilla flavoring
Cinnamon (as much as you like)

Whisk above mixture. Take four slices of Whole Wheat Toast, and coat each side with mixture. Melt a small amount of butter/margarine in pan before adding toast. Top with 1/4cup of maple syrup and your favorite fruit..  It was pretty delicious... And it seems alot less fattening than how I use to cook french toast.

Second: Original Ranch Cheesey Chicken. (not as healthy but not terrible)

1 pack chicken tenders or breast
1cup season bread crumbs
1/4cup of grated parmesean cheese
1/4cup of cheddar cheese or sharp cheddar cheese
1/2cup of ranch dressing.

Clean chicken. Mix cheeses and breadcrumbs together. Coat chicken in ranch dressing dip in bread crumb mixture. Place on baking sheet or dish. Cook on 350 for 35minutes. Pretty tasty.. Serve with your favorite side. I did salad and rice. Yum.

Mustard............

So I've noticed alot of this mustard color lately, and I really was wanting to add a piece in that color to my closet, and I came across this cute sleeveless top at Target on Monday, so I just had to get it.  I think it will look great with lots of different colors. Today I've paired it with white and black because I had intially thought I'd wear it with navy, but it's too cold for my skirt today..

Top - Target
Cardigan - Target
Pants - Express
Shoes - Blowfish (similar) 
Necklace -  Premier
Earrings - Made by a coworker

Today's ensemble..

Today I paired my favorite white pants with my chambray rolled sleeve shirt and some turqouise jewlery from Linleysheat at Dwelling and Telling.  Another blog that inspired me to give this blogging a try again.  I love this necklace and earrings, it goes with so much and so pretty for the summer.  White pants are so great, yet so scary to wear especially when you have a 3 year old. I do love my express pants, while they are on the higher side of what I like spend for clothes, I think they are well worth the bucks because they are great length for us 6foot girls who enjoy heels, and the editor fit just really flatters my shape.

Shirt

Necklace and Earrings
