A celebration of sorts....

Today is my daughters birthday. Happy 6th Ella Mae!!!! Wow how times flies when you have kids. We are having a pretty subdued birthday today and taking her to Mall of America of rides on Sunday. That should be fun. I'll be sitting on the sidelines with my pompoms, no rides for me. Prefer to keep my lunch, thank you.



I know I mentioned updating every so often on the weight/bad habit issues but I've just been so busy. My new resolution is to update the page once a week. I'm pretty sure my ADHD brain can handle that.


On that note...weightloss this week is: I have to fricken clue. The battery died in my scale and quite frankly I've not been the best little girl. Early last year I vowed to lose 20 lbs and lost 22 lbs. I have no clue what I weight, I've been judging it based on how my clothing fits versus a number on the scale and it's time to hop back on that wagon. Soooooo...any encouragement is happily accepted. I can do it...Er...maybe next week I'll start. Right?? Right! Here's last years results:




Here's my newest concotion, it was a hit with the fam. Enjoy:


Cheesy veggies & chicken

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast - thawed

Frozen veggies with potaotes (see photo below). I use either Schwan's fireroasted potatoes with veggies or Alexia a a good substitute.



Cheddar cheese or co-jack cheese, whichever is preferred.



Preheat over to 400.

Line 9 X 13 in. baking dish or cake pan with aluminum foil. Fill bottom of pan with frozen potato/veggie mix. I usually just fill the pan until I can see the bottom, or about 1/3 of the pan full.

Place thawed chicken breast on top of veggies.

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Take foil off and cover chicken and veggies with cheese (1-2 cups). Replace in oven without cover and bake an additional 20-30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

Aaaaaaaaaaand unfortunatly I deleted the photo of the final results. Boooooo.


Have a great week peeps!
