Food Preppin and some goals

Look at me blogging again.....

This weekend was spent cleaning and organizing my house.  Surprisingly I finished most of it on Saturday, and even though I couldn't walk by the end of the day it felt good!!  I haven't been home most weekends lately so food prep has been hard so since I was home sunday it was on!!

I even have a recipe for you! It's probably going to snow now...

Here are the recipes I prepped for, what would I do without pinterest?? I could kiss the person that thought of it.

Beef Stroganoff-After I found this recipe I never made it a different way again, except I use greek yogurt instead of sour cream and whole wheat noodles. Have to healthify that shit. That golden mushroom soup is magic!

Jamie Eason's Turkey Meatloaf Muffins- I accidently forgot the egg whites but they still stayed together and they taste delicious!



Spaghetti squash and Bacon Casserole- It had me at bacon...I only made the squash so when I make it later in the week I just have to cook some bacon and make the sauce.



Sausage, red beans and rice-I made the rice and the beans in the crockpot for this one.

Chicken Fried Rice-I have shredded chicken in the freezer to use for this.

I put 3 chicken breasts, 2 potatoes and 4 small zucchinis in a gallon freezer bag and threw them in the freezer.  When I want to make it I will thaw it and add some chicken broth and Italian seasoning.  I throw it in the oven and there is dinner and possibly lunch for a couple of days. Easy peasy!
I also made These (Thanks Ang) and ate them all within an hour....

I also made Oatmeal. Sometimes I just make up random oatmeal recipes.

Strawberry Chocolate Steel Cut Oats

1 cup- steel cut oats
3 cups- Vanilla almond milk
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
3 strawberries chopped up-mine were big

I bring it all to a boil, turn it low and let it cook uncovered for about 40 minutes.  Wham bam thank you ma'am!! I also kind of forgot about it and it boiled over--oops



Anyway my goals this week are simple....Start Les Mills and stay away from sugar.  I find when I eat even a small piece of sugar that I crave all the bad things!!

Anybody else meal prep this week??

Worst Blogger Award Goes To.....

ME!!  I know I haven't blogged since January....life has been a little crazy!

Did you notice? Probably not haha

Anyway, here is what has been going on in my life...no pictures or funny ecards because I don't have the time or energy.....geez I suck

* Working a second job-Cleaning houses.  Sounds easy right?? It's not, it is hard work and I'm usually dead by the end of the day. Plus cleaning for rich bitches isn't all it's cracked up to be. Example: "You forgot to dust that lamp over there last time" In our heads "Which one? You have 50??????" Lol seriously petty stuff. Then after that ass kicking I come home and have to be mom, dinner, laundry, baths, cleaning...fun stuff. Not complaining...just tired! Love those kids!

* Boyfriend-Yes I know I'm not even officially divorced yet...no judging.  Him and I have been friends for 5 years and 5 years ago I told everyone he was perfect.  He left for a couple years to work so we were just facebook friends (what would we do without FB?), then recently we started talking and haven't stopped.  As he put it he has been waiting 5 years for his chance....awww

* I'm selling my house...again.  I feel like one of those people that can't stay in one place too long lol  I have been driving over 100 miles a day 6 or 7 days a week and it's killing me.  I don't know how truck drivers do it all the time, it's exhausting.  Plus Marcus has reconnected with his Dad and wants to be close to him!  It's exciting.  The market is so good for selling a house right now.  I'm not sure where we are going to go though because the market for buying a house is not so great right now.....anyway I will be spending the weekend decluttering, cleaning and organizing...with a 2 year old. Wish me luck!

* I just bought Les Mills Body Pump.  I am hoping this gets my ass moving again.  It is only 3 days a week and came with shakeology.  3 days is easy enough right??! I have been eating somewhat decent lately but seriously want to wear a swimsuit this summer so there is lots of work to be done!

I have some exciting stuff coming up too!

Lots of concerts.....Brantley Gilbert, Dierks Bentley, Chris Young, Santana and Rod Stewart, Amos Lee, Jake Owen, Lady Antebellum, Clay Walker and very random Sevendust.  I'm sure there will be more....I've gone concert crazy.  You only live once right??

Baseball games...including watching Todd Helton's number be retired! 

Disneyworld!!! The kids are so excited!

Marcus' birthday is April 1st and we are going Go Kart racing!  The boyfriend's birthday is a week after and I'm taking him to a sipping and painting thing! Should be fun!

Have a great weekend if you are reading this!! Happy Friday!!
