Food Prep!

Good Morning! I wanted to post today about my weekly (weekend) habit: Food Prep!  I have a love/hate relationship with cooking. I love to cook, but I hate to come home after a long day of work and have to cook.  A while back, I decided that I would devote time on either Saturday or Sunday (right after shopping) and cut up vegetables/meats/fruits for the upcoming week so we can just grab and go or make a quick dinner.   When I first started doing this, it was before I knew about Norwex products and it would take me about 4 hours of precious weekend time, because I would have to pull out the chemical cleaners multiple times throughout my prep now I am down to just 2 hours!  My Norwex products have cut my time in half!!  

 My Norwex prep must haves are: 

 1) Dish Cloths/Towels/Enviro (any of these work, as they have the BacLock and clean the surface throughout the process) I usually have a couple on hand 

 2) Fruit and Veggie Wash! I love this stuff, it is completely chemical free and a quick rinse in this makes my Fruits and Veggies not only clean but they last so much longer! 

 3) Fruit and Veggie Scrub Cloth, I love having this on hand to give my stuff a great scrub down to get all the dirt and pesticides off!  With all of the stuff I have read about cantaloupe and other fruits with peels I feel completely safe after a good scrub down from my trusty Fruit and Veggie Scrub Cloth and a bath in the Fruit and Veggie Wash. 

  Also, I am posting photos of one of my finished products. 

 What my new rule of thumb is when I get home from the grocery store I prep all of the fruits/veggies/meats before I put it away.  In the past I have wasted so much food because I would put it in the fridge and forget about it or just be to lazy to make a meal after work.  Now that I have incorporated food prep into my routine I haven't let food go to waste and it has saved me time, money and hassle.

Recipe Tuesday!! Puffed Apple Pancake!

Image
Good Morning everyone!  I wanted to post some of my favorite recipes on this blog, so Recipe Tuesday it is!! About a year ago I was at my Grandma's house and she was searching for a recipe.  She knew what it was supposed to be but didn't know the exact ingredients, we spent a couple hours combing through her recipes until I finally thought to google it and we came up with something very similar.  The end result was amazing, she always make food 10 times better than anyone else, but this is actually one recipe of hers that I can replicate and it comes very close.  This recipe is very easy and anyone can make it! Puffed Apple Pancake 2 Apples(I like to use Gala, because they are my favorite to eat, but Granny Smith or Golden Delicious would work very well) 4 TBSP (1/2 stick) Butter (original recipe calls for unsalted, but I wouldn't ever have that in my house, haha) 1 Cup Milk 4 Large Eggs 3 TBSP Sugar 1 TSP Vanilla Extract (I just use a lid full of it) 1...

New Years Resolution or Goal Setting?

Image
Every year I make the same resolutions; eat healthier, read my Bible daily and save more money.  Some years I have kept these going throughout the year and have done quite well but some years not so much.  This year I am not making resolutions but starting goals.  I know you may think that is the same thing but the difference is I am not going to hold myself to just this year, or if I fail in my goal I will just pick right up again and not wait until the end of a month or year.  Each day is a new day and if one day I fail, I will just pick up where I left off.   Here are some goals I am setting starting in this new year! 1) Eat/Live Healthier - This one is pretty self explanatory.  I need to stop all of my crazy eating habits.  I am not 18 and a distance runner anymore.  I cannot eat a pint of ice cream in one sitting.  (not that I have done that in many years, but you know what I mean.  I did eat 3 donuts in one sitting very recentl...
