My family is SLOWLY turning 2010 into a year of healthy, MOSTLY organic, natural foods! We are reaching for grass fed meats when we can and trying to do a total overhaul on our bodies and minds! With that said DO NOT get ready to be seeing a COMPLETELY Organic family here! We are trying, I repeat, trying to live a healthier life! For me that means getting more fruits and veggies into my kids bodies each and every day and doing WHATEVER it takes to achieve that! There I said it! WHATEVER it takes!
So, I have decided they need blueberries any way I can do it! I told my daughter the other day that we are reaching for foods that have a face or come from the ground! She about flipped! But then she calmed down when I said instead of candy we will be reaching for chocolate when we need a fix!
You just dip some blueberries in chocolate, set them on wax paper and when they are completely dry (un-gooey) you put them in little baggies in the fridge for a quick snack for the kids or put them in lunchboxes or all natural, organic yogurt in the morning tastes, OH SO GOOD, with these little surprises!
Now, can anyone point me to a healthier chocolate? Should I just melt some baking chocolate chips and do it that way? I was thinking of going with dark chocolate morsals. HELP you healthy eaters out there!
EXTRA: I bought two sets of these heart sticks from the dollar tree and tied a black bow around them to use as part of my decorations for a dinner party I had the other night (blog coming soon). I am still not a good picture taker, so this pic doesn't do it justice!
But afterwards I used it in my every day decorations in my home until Valentines is over!
I must say my family is SO excited about the
homemade decorations I have put around the house this year!
Well, my hubby is excited about the low amount of funds that have been needed! HA!
This is me, Then!
I made PW's Chicken Spaghetti and I must say that it was not a 
While hubby and I loved it, it needed WAY more cheese and less veggies for my kid crew!
But, with some Julie tweeking it will be just fine! 
If only I could tweek the need for a live in maid!
My husband and I, LOVE to cook! Lance has always been a grilling man, and I put food on the table, but I don't do many "recipes". I usually do a meat, vegetable and a starch. SIMPLE SIMPLE SIMPLE! No sauces, no seasonings besides salt, pepper and maybe season salt! 
On this day of Me, Then. We did the Pioneer Woman's simple Pinto Beans. 
"ain't she so perdy and shiny"
Then we made grilled corn and a scallion vinaigrette. OMG! It was divine! Here is the link! Its too much to explain, but Bobby Flay knows what he is doing!
(tip. Buy yourself a good bowl with a handle and mouth. It makes pouring batters, or any mixes SO much easier! Trust me!) 
My hubby added some DJ's Original Boudain and OH MY! It is wonderful with the beans and corn!
Pioneer Woman meets Bobby Flay meets 
Ok, stop right now and go get this darn cookbook! RIGHT NOW! It's at Walmart! Go, NOW!
On Day 16 of Me, Then, I woke up with FULL intention of going to church and starting the year off right with God. Well, after a few hits on the alarm clock and a son with a VERY runny nose I decided to pray about strength for the upcoming year and let all my babies (hubby included) sleep in! We will get back to my spiritual walk in another blog! Oh, and before I forget, I made "Egg In A Holes" for breakfast! This is the Pioneer Woman's above and in the pics below you can see mine! Pretty darn awesome for my first time!
I used a mason jar lid ring for my circle cutter and saved the circles for my sons mayo and cheese sandwiches for lunch (yes, I said mayo and cheese). 
We used white wheat bread (gotta cut calories somewhere because I was not skimping on the butter) HA! 
Put that cute piece of bread in that melted butter!
Drop that egg in that hole!
