Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone is having a great day and keeping all of our U.S. Military in their thought and prays on this very memorable day.

I thought I would share with you a video that I put together a few years ago with my 3 little brothers. They had a lot of fun making this video so I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

I also wanted to be able to show you a couple of the pictures I took this past year at Arlington Cemetery. If you ever get the chance to visit there I would. It is a life changing experience.

Do you know any one who is in the service?

I would love to hear all about them as well as add them to my prayer list.

I am so proud of so many people but especially both of my Grandfather who are retired from the Navy cousin Johnny who is currently serving our country in the Army and my cousin Brandon who is in the Navy as well!

Peanut Butter Protein Balls

I don’t know about all of you, but I always feel like I am on the go.  With a schedule like mine, I get to eat in between clients and at odd hours of the day.  I usually live strictly by the book, my calendar that is. If i didn’t pencil it in, then I don’t have time for it. 

These peanut butter protein balls are just the thing for me, they are quick, easy & delicious.  It is easy for me to pop them in my mouth and just enough to fill my belly with all the extra protein. 

All you need is:

1/4 cup of honey or (2T honey and 2T milk)

1/4 cup Peanut Butter

1/4 cup Energizing Soy Protein

1/2 cup Oat Meal

1/4  cup Rice Crispys

Mix the peanut butter and honey together in a pot on medium heat until melted.  Add remaining dry products into the pot and stir until blended. Remove from heat and use a cookie scoop to scoop onto a plate or tray.

This is also a perfect snack for kids. I taste so good that they won’t even know that it is good for them.

Since I work from home I can easily have a snack without eating too much. I love knowing that I am eating something that is good for me.

My Sun Glasses Holder!

My sister-in-law gave me this square board with all different kinds of ribbons on it.  At first I didn’t know what to do with it and it took me a little while to decide.  Then, it finally came to me… I will use it as a sun glasses holder!  My sisters and I have quite a few sun glasses and I know they will fit on here perfectly with the ribbons holding them in place.  I thought of a few ways to display them on here and I wanted to ask you what you thought looked the best.
 

Here is the first way. All of the sun glasses are neatly in two rows.

Or I can have them in three straight lines.

Last but not least way is having the sun glasses scattered randomly throughout the board.

What do you think of this idea?
Is it a yay or a nay? And if you do like it, which way is your favorite?

Also I am sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I have had so many things going on and I just didn’t seem to have the time to fit in writing all of my posts. Don’t worry, I was still taking pictures and keeping track of everything going on so you won’t be missing a thing. You will just be getting them at a later time!

Thanks for reading and for sticking with me even while I have been neglecting my blog!

How To Cut Up Pineapples

I believe that Pineapple is one of God’s greatest sweets. I just love the taste of it’s delicious juice. This week I was shopping at the grocery store only to find that pineapple was on sale for $0.99.  I love pineapple so naturally I couldn’t pass it up!  If you know my family you know that I can’t just buy one pineapple so I bought them all lol!

Here is a short video showing you just how I cut up all of these pineapples! I hope you enjoy!

There are a couple of things that I have made using these pineapples.

First I cut the top off the pineapple.

Next I use our handy dandy pineapple cutter 

Then you pull the pineapple out!

I then put a Stainless Steal cooling racks on a jelly role pan.

Cut one side of the pineapple!

Place the pineapple on the cooling rack.

Pre-heat your oven to the lowest temperature it goes to, mine goes all the way down to 170. Also I put a wooden spoon in the door to keep the over propped open while dehydrating.  It will take several hours to dehydrate the the pineapple and some might finish before the others, just keep checking them. I also cut up some of the other pineapples into smaller pieces so I could freeze.

I put the pineapple in a freezer container and put it in the freezer.

 

Now that you know what I like to do with my pineapples, I would love to know what you do with yours?

Do you have a favorite recipe you would like to share or a post that you have.  I would love to see what it is a give it a try myself.

Was this video helpful? Would you like to see more? You are the reason I love doing what I do so please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Thanks for reading.

Energy Like Never Before

I don't know about you but occasionally I need a little pick me up about half way through my day. I do not like to drink Monster, Red Bull or any of those energy drinks. I like to try to do everything on the more natural side, so instead I have just one of these energy chews a day. These small, little squares are not only tasty but provide a clean burst of healthy energy to help you get that extra edge when you need it most. Each chew contains a scientific blend of caffeine from natural green tea extract. This is a must try! And there are no artificial flavors, sweeteners or added preservatives you'll find in other energy products. I recommend these to everyone I know especially my physically active friends.

Heart Shaped Muffin, Fun For Everyone!

It is amazing to me how you can do the same thing over and over again and never even think to try something new. Tweaking one small thing can change the entire look of your creation. Here I made a basic box of muffins and by adding a marble in between the muffin tin and the cake cup I changed the shape of the muffin from round to heart shaped.

This is an easy, yet fun way to change up your basic muffins.  Just remember to only fill the cake cup up about half of the way because if you don’t it will all poor over the sides.  Trust me, it is not fun LOL.

 

Do you have any fun tricks that you would like to share about cooking or baking?

A Bit of Edge

In my personal opinion I think there are at least 10 essential items that one should have with in their wardrobe.  One of those 10 items should be a leather coat. A leather coat has a lot of class and can last forever if you take care of it the right way.

Here I am wearing a black leather coat with black skinnies, grey boots, a grey clutch, silver accessories and a black and grey scarf to tie the whole outfit together.

I also styled my hair to have these big loose curls that you see a lot of the movie stars wear. It is a lot easier to do than you would think. I will be posting about how it do this exact style so don’t forget to subscribe to my blog so it will be sent right to your email.

Do you have a leather jacket?
