Easy Quick Healthy Meals

Easy Quick Healthy Meals:

When you are a mama on the go like I am, but you reallllly dont like to eat out every night and at the same time barely have any time to cook you have to figure out how to make something that is healthy, quick, and easy,...and of course, delicious.  Here are some of the meals i've made over the past couple weeks that I remember to snap a few pics of.  I try to make 2 completely home made meals a week, we go out 1 night usually on the weekend, and then the other 2-3 nights i'll whip up something quick like this: 

CousCous Stuffed Salmon: I posted this salmon and brown rice recipe a couple weeks ago, instead of broccoli I grilled up some zucchini, i wanted to post it again because the zucchini was so easy, i used an herb spice mix, salt and olive oil and they were so yummy!

Chicken, Pesto, Spinach, Pepperjack Panini: I used 1 tablespoon of Tj's premade pesto sauce (not the jar, the container), olive oil to grill the bread (i used TJ's cracked wheat sour dough bread..my guilty pleasure), a handful of spinach, 1 pepperjack slice, pregrilled chicken (packaged by Tjs.. the upside is its fresh and quick to use but the downside is you have to use it within a couple days or it goes bad), and sliced red bell pepper.. so good!

Veggie Stuffed Peppers with a hodgepodge of what I had in the frige/feezer (i deperately needed to go grocery shopping, this was at the end of last week) Salad, and Meetless meatballs over Brown Rice with teriyaki sauce. Took just 10 minutes.

PASTA NIGHT! I made spaghetti with TJ's organic brown rice spaghetti noodles (this was my first time using the spaghetti noodles, i had only used their penne --which i like better, but they were still good), i grilled up some ground turkey and onion, and then used Tj's ogranic Tomato basil Marinara (much quicker than doing it from scratch).  Then I made some kale salad which i've posted on in the past, its olive oil, lemon, garlic, red crushed pepper, salt and paremsan cheese.. sooo delicious.

I just realized that i used these (spaghetti noodles) when i made pasta on a different night last week.. I used rotini brown rice noodles this week (in the pic below)

Coffee:

 Trader's is pumpkin crazy right now for the Fall season, so we decided to try out their pumpkin spice coffee and i looove it.

Curry Chicken and Veggies over Brown Rice: I buy Tj's premarinated meats sometimes, this was their curry chicken tenders, i grilled them up and used their 3 minute microwavable brown rice (in the frozen section, ive posted on this before as well), and then chopped up some veggies and used their curry sauce to top it off and give it some moisture. 

Ejoy!

My Baby Boy is 2 Months Old!

My Baby Boy is 2 Months Old!


I'm a little behind on blogging (he's now almost 3 months), I have many posts in the works that I can't wait to post so I am a bit behind. We were moving the first and second week of September and then the third week I went back to work so it's been crazy around here lately. 


My little one is 2 months old! He turned 2 months the day before our 1 year anniversary so it was an extra special weekend for us! My love for this little soul is immeasurable.. It literally continues to grow every day. I get so lost in love with him ... these are memories I never want to forget: When i press my cheek to his and cuddle him close, when I'm burping him and just smother his cheek in kisses because he smells so delicious, when his hands grab onto my hands, when he's falling asleep next to me (this happens rarely because I'm trying to be disciplined with sleep training) he grabs onto my face with his cute soft little fingers and it absolutely destroys me, I kiss inbetween his nose and his mouth and he smiles SO big, when I'm changing him and see his adorable little tummy, the softness and smell of him, his little jerky movements since he is learning to control his arms and legs, his bobble head, his coos and "almost laughs", how his eyes smile when his mouth smiles, his cheeks get so big while hes asleep because his chin rests on his chest, how he sucks his tiny fists, how he attacks like a shark when hes hungry or wants his pacifier (its the funniest and cutest thing), the sound he makes when i brush my hair across his face (its insanely cute and would melt any humans heart), the way he looks into my eyes and lets me know with the most adorable staire that he knows I'm his mama, how he cracks up when I kiss his feet and hands over and over, how he plays with his toys now & has become mr. curious.. I'm obsessed with this little boy of mine and he has the key to my heart (him and his daddy). 


This little guy has so much personality already. He coo's like crazy, especially in the morning when he first wakes up. He is so smiley and so much fun to hang out with. I haven't met a person who isn't completely smitten with him yet! We feel so blessed that this little angel is ours and couldn't be more thankful each day we wake up to his sweet face and every night that we sing him a lullubaby an kiss him good night. 


He goes to bed every night at 6-630 latest and easily falls asleep on his own (naps are a bit more work as he isn't old enough quite yet to self-soothe). He sleeps his longest stretch from 6:00-11pm (4.5-5 hours usually) and then from then on he wakes up every 3-4 hours (from the start of the feed to the start of the next) and sometimes does another 4 hour stretch in the early morning. He usually wakes up at 7:30am and takes his first nap around 8:15-8:40am. He kicks his legs like crazy and moves his arms everywhere. He bats at things and grab onto my hair and whatever im wearing. He eats every 3 hours and it takes him about 5 minutes and only eats on one side (he must be an efficient eater!).  


We love you little man, you have stolen our hearts and we couldnt be more blessed by you.
