A New Idea I had

I was looking at an email i got about a recipe swap and had an instant brain storm. I used to be not only one of the lead cooks at 2 different restaurants but also the head trainer in one kitchen ant a coorprate trainer in the other. So, my point is that i know how to cook pretty well. But i spend most of the time now coming up with or altering recipes to fit my families needs and my time restraints.

So anyway my point is that i think i am going to try to post a new or good recipe i have come across, made up or altered every once in awhile. So, here is this weeks recipe:


This is an amazing recipe I came up with for my family. Mason loves them and Brandon really likes taking them for dinner in to work. I just plane old like them. They are really easy, fast and healthy. Just wanted to share them with you guys.
Turkey, bacon wraps:
lay out a tortilla
spread with ranch or guacamole
lay out 2 thick pieces of turkey
top with favorite cheese
add some lettuce and 1 to 2 pieces of bacon
I add some more avocado because it is so very good for you
roll up and microwave for 30 seconds if you want it warm
this is so tasty and good and healthy for you
we serve it with strawberries or frozen blueberries for an even better immune system and antioxidant boost.
this makes an amazing on the go lunch.

Mason's Wall of Art


Mason is a budding artist just like his mommy was. We let him put up his art work on a large wall in the living room. We use painters tape so the wall is not hurt. He loves to show of all his art work to anyone who visits our home. He is just so proud of it, and we are proud of him and his talent. He colors in coloring books, finger paints, and draws on blank paper to create his masterpieces. His favorite color is yellow. He asks for yellow when he wants to create something new.

Mason Likes to Help in Many Ways



The boys love to play together. And everyday they have a little more fun together.

Hunter's Allergic Reaction To Amoxacillian








Hunter has been on Amoxacillian for an ear infection. He was on his last dose, on his 10th day, and he woke up with weird spots all over and a fever. I thought he had somehow gotten chickenpox. I felt so bad for him. He looked and acted like he felt so miserable. He took him immediatly to the doctor and was told that he was having an allergic reaction to his antibiotic. When i told them that Brandon was allergic to Penacillian they said that their was no conection and that it is not genetic. They also told me that it was gonna get alot worse before it got better. I just wasn't prepared for how bad it really got. Heat made it worse so we had to keep the house really cold and put as little clothing on him as possible.

Thank goodness, he woke up today with no more spots.
