IT's Tuesday.......
Just wanted to share that my wonderful Husband got me the perfume that I had been talking about ( Viva La Juicy) Oh it smells sooo good!. Of course it took me falling and hitting my head getting a hickey and a cut oh and also a swollen knee before he got it but he did.
We took our daughter to a birthday party and while there I noticed that there was another little girl who was bigger than her age but very rambucious and busy, well long story short the little girl got into the tent while my daughter was in there and another little baby trying to get in and they all fell over due to this other little girl turning over the tent and my daughter almost smashed another little girl and yep you guess it MOMMY TO THE RESCUE.... I flew down there to keep them from all hurting each other and I got hurt but I'm OK. I will take a lick anytime to protect my little cub.
Smooches Braelyn Mommy Love YOU!!!!

Making Healthy Taste Great!
OK, So I have been trying some new recipes and for those of you that know, You know I LOVE TO COOK!!!!! So I have this Chicken Burger Recipe and for a treat.......Double Chocolate cupcakes! How ya like that!!!
Chicken Burger
Total: 26 minutes
335 Calories
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained
• 2 shallots, trimmed and peeled
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Cooking spray
• 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
• 1/4 cup canola mayonnaise
• 4 green leaf lettuce leaves
• 8 plum tomato slices
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Preparation
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a food processor; process until finely ground. Divide chicken mixture into 4 equal portions; shape each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side.
2. Place bottom half of each bun on a plate, and spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over each. Top each burger with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 patty, and 2 tomato slices. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard over each bun top, then top burgers.
OK, so now for the treat.......
These cupcakes are easy to make, and because simple ingredients are used, it's best to purchase premium cocoa powder and dark chocolate. Since they're studded with dark chocolate chunks, just dusting them with powdered sugar is enough to decorate these treats. Bake them in muffin cup liners. A dozen of these are a terrific treat to bring to coworkers at the office.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! 2011
OK, so.......It's a new year and we have all made these "Resolutions" of what we are not or what we are going to do. But, the question is what are you "Really" going to do??? As for me I have decided that I am not going through the whole resolution thing, I'm just gonna do what I can when I can and the rest will fall into place.
This is my do what I can list.....
I want to be a better person (Not that I'm bad or anything) just want to do better.
I am going to start each day by asking God what is that I can do that will be pleasing to him.
Next, I am going to try, try, try to get better at being a mommy (to a toddler) and Not forget that I'm still a wife to my husband. I have somehow forgotten that and been so wrapped up with my daughter that I have forgot that Yes, I am still Chis' wife and I need to be a little more into him and his needs and be a better partner to him.
Now last but not least lose this 10 pounds that I have picked up over Thanksgiving and Christmas.
So those are just some of the top things, What are yours?
xoxo,
ME
