Manic Monday Mixer #twitterhop w/ @salsasensations mexican lasagna recipe #blogher11

Are you excited yet? We are days away from BlogHer 2011!  I am packed, organized, and almost done with all cooking for the boys.  Now to just relax until BlogHer gets here.  I assume I should be saving my energy for the over-packed schedule. Did I mention on one morning I am doing 6:00 am SweatPink Bootcamp with Fit Approach and then off to Filtrete’s water-front yoga with celebrity trainer, Matthew Reyes?  With that being said, life gets hectic and I really enjoy being able to offer Make-ahead recipes each Monday!  Feel free to link your twitter url at the bottom to join in for Manic Monday Mixer.  If you have a recipe you have been desiring, let me know at my Suggestion Box! About Me: I am a sahm of 3 boys who have helped bring out my creative side....

Manic Monday Mixer Hop: Salsa Sensations Make-ahead Chimi Recipe #salsacraving

Sorry for the break from Manic Monday Mixer life has been really busy since  the move to the new site.  On top of the move, we have been dealing with another child showing symptoms of Celiac Disease.  It is difficult thinking about starting over again with a toddler with gluten issues just when Hunter is old enough to understand the situation.  As I have mentioned before, I find make-ahead meals are great way to add convenience without sacrificing nutrition.  When dealing with unexpected situations, gluten contaminations, the good, the bad, whatever comes up, I rely on make-ahead to save the day.  If I were unable to cook, I think my kids would have quesadillas & grilled cheese everyday (I love you for your effort!).  However, with make-ahead cooking,...

Manic Monday Mixer: Spring is here!

Spring is here!  Our weather in Oklahoma has gone from 70s to a blizzard to warm again and now cold.  I am looking forward to Spring weather to stay for good, so we can enjoy all that Spring has to offer.  To focus on the positive… My top 5 springtime favorites are: 1. Spending more time outside:  After a rough winter, there is nothing better than interacting outside at the park, backyard, wherever! 2. Gardening:  While gardening is new to me, there is something magical about cooking with fresh herbs and soon fruits & vegetables. 3. Running:  I am not a winter runner.  It is no surprise that I dislike cold weather, so I allow myself a break from running during that time.  I have missed that quiet alone time running allows and the blooming...
