Piyo/Shakeology offer.

Has anyone been wanting to try Shakeology lately? We've been given the go ahead from the CEO of Beachbody to offer the PiYO (low impact, pilates/yoga infusion) program for $10 with a Shakeology order......

I think they really want to help people get back on track after we indulged on all those bite sized candy bars for Halloween. 😳

Leave your email address! I'll send you the discount link. :)

Prep day..... turned this. 

Into this! I LOVE prep day!! :) 

Vegan seafood? No, no, no.

I have never been a fan of seafood, not even pre-vegetarian days so this stuff makes me super gaggy! 

But, Rob likes it & so do the babies. They asked for some at lunch time & I opened the can for them. Vegan cat food, anyone?? :-O 

Kids are amazing.

Good timing. As I was getting the boys dressed this morning & they happily put on whatever I had grabbed (to keep it clear, they do fight sometimes because they want their specific item with Spider-Man or a pocket, etc not because of fit), it made me think .....  'at what point do we become so uncomfortable & aware of our bodies in a negative way'? 

'I want a mermaids tail, a sharks mouth, I actually like my body'. Awesome!

Thanksgiving stuffing recipe.

Ok, ok. Thanksgiving is coming. I guess I have to accept it! It looks like we'll be at home this year so I guess it's time to start planning the menu!? I'm such a procrastinator, lol 

Anyhow, I stumbled across this stuffing recipe & I think I'm going to try it. I admit, any other type would be from a package. Just like my Mom used to make (sorry Mom, but you know it's true. LOL). ;)  

And, it only takes 10 minutes to prep!? That's my kind of timeframe. 

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 medium celery stalks, chopped (about 4 cups)
2 medium green apples, with peel (about 2 cups)
4 cups low-sodium organic vegetable broth
2 cups dry quinoa, rinsed
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. ground black pepper
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup pine nuts

Preparation:
1.Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
3. Add celery and apple; cook, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender.
4. Add broth, quinoa, salt, cumin, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, for 15 minutes, or until most of liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
5. Add cranberries. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
6. Add cilantro and pine nuts; fluff with fork and serve.

And, it's gluten free too?? Maybe someone else will like to try this one as well. :)
