Night # 2




Wow, well here comes some of the funny stuff people. So tonight, I asked the husband if he wanted some "breakfast" before he went to work for the night, he said sure and I asked him about pancakes, he said okay. Earlier last week, he told me that he didn't like bisquick and wanted from scratch pancakes and waffles and so I set out to find a pancake recipe, found one for buttermilk pancakes in my cookbook and made them. I don't know what happened but they were awful, they were thick, chewy, hard and just plain bad, the picture is of them in the trash because I threw them away. Oddly, enough my husband ate them, yuck! I feel bad that he did :( Anyway, I wasn't going to let one bad batch get me down so I went on the internet and found a different recipe. I can't speak for my husband, I'll update if he eats the new ones and let you know what he thought. Anyway, tried a different recipe, this recipe had tons of reviews from people who loved it. I used the last bit of buttermilk I had and mixed the other ingredients and I personally ate two of them, they were very good. Light and fluffy with just the right buttermilk flavor, oodles better than the other ones =)

Anna,
I found the best pancake recipe at allrecipes.com. It has strawberries in it and everytime I make them they come out delicious. If you want I can email you the recipe.

My Toxic Life

Image
Oh me oh my, I've been on this real food journey for a while. My ability to feed my family real food is limited to my budget but I do the best I can to feed my family whole organic foods. I'm frequently frightened to see what's in our food. Even feeding my family healthfully. Like say chicken breast instead of chicken nuggets, my chicken has arsenic and the chickens are fed GMO feed? Are you kidding me? Well, thank God for Costco that is where I get my organic meat it's not pasture fed but it's the best I can afford. Recently, I was taking a prenatal vitamin and after I swallowed it I thought, I wonder what the ingredients are, after all I take this so when we conceive again (hopefully) that my folic acid level is healthy and whatnot, well come to find out my vitamins since they aren't organic are full of toxins. Eesh. Nearly three months ago I looked at what's in my shampoo, yikes. Thus began my "no shampoo" journey. So far, I'm w

Homemade Boppy Pillow

Image
Okay, so for those of you who have looked at my registry, I did register for a boppy pillow but I also wanted to make one myself. I used material from an old cotton sheet we don't use anymore and can't help but wonder if store bought is better than homemade when it comes to this. Anywho, I figure if my pillow is just as good as store bought the registry one can always be returned and if my homemade one fails then I have a genuine boppy as well. Here goes nothing.... I printed out the pattern on the computer and had to tape the pattern together to make this. I got the pattern  here Fold your fabric, or sheet, in half, place pattern along folded side and cut two of the pattern out. Pin the two pieces together with RIGHT sides facing each other. Sew around edges, leaving opening for stuffing, I left my opening right in the middle but you can do whatever you want. Turn right side out and press Stuff pillow to desired consistency Hand sew the opening shu

Second Week, First Run and Spinach/Chicken Calzone

Image
Ran yesterday, plan this week is to run 3 miles first two runs then 3.5 last run of the week. Nothing too interesting, ran 3 miles, went slowly at 5.6, went hiking with the hubby on Saturday with some decent pain in my knees and wanted to take it slow in case I was sore or something. Had pain all down my right side towards the end and after, not sure what to think of that. I have a known hip injury that flares up sometimes on my right side, we'll have to wait and see what happens. Plan for dinner tonight was spinach and chicken calzone. In and effort to be more healthy, I made the calzone crust with whole wheat. Easy recipe from eatingwell.com, whole wheat flour, yeast, H2O, honey and salt. Quickly threw this together then let it rise twice, very simple. For the filling the original recipe calls for cooking the chicken in the frying pain with a little EVOO. I changed it up a little, I slowly boiled the chicken then shredded the chicken with two forks, cooked onion and garlic
