Cheesy Quinoa Zucchini Pancakes
When you have a five year old you can get them to eat just about anything if you call it a pancake (or at least that has been my experience) Anyway… I was cruising around Pinterest and found 2 “pancake” recipes I really wanted to try. Here’s one and here’s the other. (If you’re not on Pinterest and can’t see the recipes sorry ~ shoot me an email and I’ll send you an invite!) I couldn’t wait so I decided to combine them and see what happened. Absolute Deliciousness is what happened!! Here’s how it went. 1 cup quinoa 1 zucchini shredded 3 tbsp flour 1 egg slightly scrambled 1/2 c shredded cheese (I used a mexican mix ~ it’s what I had in the fridge) a couple tbsp diced onion (I used white, but...

Here’s a great little ebook that will share a bunch of tips to help you save money at the grocery store. I’d love to hear your favorite money saving tips!

Pinterest Meal Planning
So I finally jumped on the bandwagon and joined Pinterest last week. If you want to follow me ~ please do! One of the things I’ve come to love more than anything else on Pinterest is RECIPES!! I love the pictures of the delicious looking food… it makes me really be able to “see” if we’ll like it or not! (for some reason I don’t know why because that doesn’t make a ton of sense, so just bear with me!) Anyway… we missed our meal planning and shopping over the weekend so I decided to let Pinterest be my guide for meal planning this week. Here’s what I came up with… and I’m so excited I can’t even decide what we should have first! You can find all these recipes in my food/drink board on...
I Finished My FIRST 90 Day Body by Vi Challenge!
Being a work at home mom who hates to exercise (and it’s too cold to ride my bike) makes it tough to lose weight. I love cooking healthy food, but still kept gaining. Just over 90 days ago I started the Body by Vi Challenge. I decided to give it a try and see how it went. Well it went CRAZY!! I started drinking 2 shakes a day ~ and eating a healthy dinner with my family and low and behold the inches just started melting off (without exercise!). Take a look at my results!! (click the picture to make it bigger) I lost 10.75 inches over the last 90 days. Went from a size 16 to a size 10! Yeah, I couldn’t even believe that one! Thank heaven my lovely family got me gift cards for Christmas. I’ve had a blast shopping for new clothes (which is...
Sometimes Just Do It Doesn’t Work
It’s interesting. I just finished reading an article about kids and food.The mom who wrote the article has a kiddo who won’t eat veggies. She had all these thoughts before she became a parent, no dino shaped nuggets, not being a short order cook etc, and now while in the midst of the journey finds she has had to change some of her expectations and actions… But that’s not what this post is about… As I’m sitting here reading this post I’m thinking to myself, just make him eat it. Then I started to laugh at myself. I have a spirited kindergartner… who is an EXCELLENT eater (thank heaven). I don’t struggle to get her to eat veggies, in fact, I think she’d be a vegetarian if I’d let her. So no, I...
Family Dinner ~ The Hour That Matters Most
As work at home moms we’re often focused on business, building business, getting traffic, growing our audience, and those things are very important. As a work at home mom, I know I started working from home because of my family… because I wanted to be here, be available. It can be tough once we get into work mode, to call it quits for the day, and remember why we started this in the first place! One of the “rules” I mentioned for how to get your work done with kids around was to set a stop time… and when work time is over, put 100% of your attention on family. The perfect time to do that is over dinner. Family dinner. Not sit in front of the TV with your plate on your lap dinner, but real, home cooked dinner at a table. I’ve...
