1 Minute Scrambled Egg in a Mug {McMuffin too!}

Published April 24, 2012

Actually I think I’m going to call this an Egg Mc-Mug-fin! ha ha!

My awesome BeachBum follower Trisha introduced this concept to me a few months ago…I have a child who loves eggs for breakfast, but I won’t let him have them on school days because we are rushed. He likes the frozen sandwiches that you micro, but trying to stay away from freezer food.

This is a perfect EASY alternative that even a 7yr old can do!

One Organic Egg

Salt & Pepper to taste

Mix together in a Mug {Advise: Oil your mug first with little with some spray}

Place in micro for 30 seconds ~ take out to mix again ~ place back in for another 15 seconds

Scrambled Egg!

Go a step further to create an Egg McMugFin

Toast a English Muffin

Add Scrambled Egg

Cheese

YUM!!

Now, how easy was that?!

Spring Break Memories {Chuck E. Cheese Giveaway}

Published April 23, 2012

We had a great spring break this year. I tried keeping the boys busy with fun activities and I think it worked because the week just flew by! Lots of memories were to be had and I got a chance to play with my photos…

Picking strawberries…we made the best jam!

Rope obstacle course…C’Man climbed all the way to the top!

A little too much fun in the sand at the beach!

P’Diddy’s 1st Boat Ride (major tantrums when it was over!)

Our last night of Spring Break we celebrated at Chuck E. Cheese! Last time I was there, I was impressed with our restaurant and had kept it in mind for another family night.

My boys love Chuck E Cheese. I don’t blame them. It is a definite kid’s place. They can be loud. They could play games ALL day if I let them.

They lovvvve collecting tickets. I remember my brother and I being the same way. It’s a competition to see who can win the most.

We had a pizza dinner while reminiscing about our awesome break. It was a great way to end a fantastic week!

Have FuN with your family at Chuck E. Cheese!

Mother’s Day Ideas ~ Healthy Prepared Meals {Bistro MD Giveaway}

Published April 18, 2012

Sometimes we just need a break from cooking and planning and just thinking about what is healthy and what is not. If I could have someone come into my home and prepare all of my meals, I would do it in a second!

Bistro MD does this! Only you don’t get the actual personal chef cooking in your kitchen, but you do get the meals delivered to your door every week.

Physician-Designed Meal Plans
Chef Prepared Entrees
No Cooking, No Counting, No Cleaning!
Just Heat, Eat and Lose Weight.

I had a 5 days worth of meals arrive. I was stoked as I stacked them in my freezer. I was going to eat healthy for 15 meals and not have to worry about buying ingredients and preparing my meals. Yes, I have four other people in the house, but we only ate dinner together and we could still do that. It’s cooking for me ~ trying to be extra cautious and lose a few pounds ~ that is always my problem.

Here is what one of my favorite days consisted of.

Breakfast ~ Cinnamon Sweet Potato Pancakes served with a rich sugar-free syrup along with a hearty helping of low-fat turkey sausage.

Lunch ~ Turkey & Beef Chipotle Chili accompanied by a Native American-style corn pudding, sweetened with a touch of delicious sugar-free maple syrup.

Dinner ~ Beef sauteed and topped with a slow simmered sauce made with fresh garlic, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar. Served with stir fried brown rice with vegetables and a serving of crisp broccoli.

I knew Hubby was eyeballing the Blackened Tilapia and O’Bear the Cheese Ravoli so I shared a bit.

Quick, easy, meals for anyone in the family? oh yeah! Hubby grabbed the fish for work and the boys scarffed up the pasta for a yummy lunch.

Make it your own…share…however you wish…but just think…no cooking! Happy Mother’s Day!

WIN a 5-Day Meal Plan! ($129.95)
