It's been awhile since I last posted. The past few years have been a roller coaster. I forgot what it was like having a toddler. God blessed me with a son at the age of 41! During the Summer months we travel Michigan looking for fun things to do, I know he will be my last and with 19 years in between my son and daughter I want to make sure I don't miss a beat. The things he does and how fast he is learning it amazes me every day. I only wish he would slow down a bit. I am hoping I will be more active on the site. I would love to share the crazy things my son does and says with the … [Read More...]
Turkey Tamales A Hit
December 3, 2021 By Jammie Morey Leave a Comment
I love tamales and now that I know how to make them I am going to love them more. With having so much left over turkey from Thanksgiving, I decided to follow the recipe for turkey tamales on All Recipes. We had a ton of turkey left so I of course had to adjust the recipe for the amount I was going to make. We ended up with 10 dozen. First thing I did was shred up the turkey into smaller pieces. Then I went and got the seasonings and measured out what I was going to use for the masa and the turkey. I first mixed the turkey with the seasonings. Then I went a head a mixed up the … [Read More...]

After going to Texas on vacation in 2020 I have discovered a love for tamales! They make the best tamales in Texas, we had cream cheese and jalapeno ones and we had a sweet cream cheese one, it tasted almost like bread pudding. I have been wanting to learn how to make tamales for awhile now and my sister in law showed me this past week. We ended up making 10 dozen cream cheese and jalapeno ones, they were a huge hit. Super spicy but my daughter loved them. Laying in bed the other night, I knew I wanted to make more tamales, because to be honest making tamales is kind of relaxing. So I … [Read More...]
Being a Full Time Working Mom to Part Time

I work home health care. For the past 3.5 years I have worked almost every day. I took care of an elderly man up until I got pregnant with my son 68 hours a week. After I got pregnant I had to fight with my employer to get other care takers to help. I was very dedicated to my client so if a caretaker didn't show up I would go help this client. It was extremely exhausting. I was even going to help a few days before I delivered my son. My client knew he could always count on me. The end of October everything changed. I got to clients house at 6:30 am. I noticed he had a lot on congestion. … [Read More...]

My Cheat Day On Keto
October 8, 2019 By Jammie Morey Leave a Comment
This has been a very good journey thus far. My biggest weakness is pizza, I love pizza. I have tried a few different keto at home pizza and they just wasn't the same. I got in a stall so figured I would attempt a cheat day to trick my body. I woke up and had me a mocha monster I bought the night before for my cheat day. My eye site was a bit fuzzy I am assuming because I put 37g of carb in my body first thing when I usually have less than 20 g a day. I honestly felt like I was high! I kinda felt pretty good. I then ordered me some PIZZA! I got the lunch combo from Little Caesars, I gave the … [Read More...]
Keto is based on Ingredients
October 7, 2019 By Jammie Morey Leave a Comment
One thing I have learned while doing keto is why it's important to keep net carb 20g or below, it's even more important to check your ingredients. I have only been doing keto for almost 6 weeks, I am in no way a professional when it comes to the keto lifestyle. I am learning along with thousands of other people. I have noticed people are using carb manager to tell them if a product is keto or not. The problem with carb manager is it only states whether the product falls within certain macros. I have noticed a lot of companies marketing products as keto, when in fact they contain non-keto … [Read More...]
Keto Is It The Right Choice For You

My weight has always been a consistent struggle. I played yo-yo with the scales for years getting to 315 a few different times, losing about 50 pounds then getting back up to 315 and then over the course of a few years losing that weight. With having PCOS and being insulin resistant it's not easy when it comes to battling the weight. I have sat on the fence for a long while on whether I should go keto. I see as those around me do keto and I see all the hype online about keto. I did my research and decided I would give keto a try. On August 31st, I went full on. I love my carbs, my pizza, my … [Read More...]
Intermittent Fasting For Weight Loss
June 3, 2019 By Jammie Morey Leave a Comment
I have been up and down on the scales most my life. It seems like once I start losing weight and doing well, I go through a depression state where I love to snack. In my mind having a snack here and there isn't hurting anything I mean it's only so many calories. However, those calories can add up quickly. I love my coffee, but my coffee is made with roughly half coffee half delicious creamer. So I guess you can say I love my creamer. I can drink coffee all day every day, but the problem is my own cup okay it is more like two cups of coffee in the morning is roughly 200 calories. If I had three … [Read More...]

Sometimes I wonder is Summer is actually coming. We go from 70 degrees to snow over night. Michigan weather is so unpredictable. I cannot wait for the weather to get warm and stay warm. Living in Tennessee I got so use to the hot weather, we stayed inside a lot because it was just to hot. Here in Michigan my daughter and I will be doing a lot of walking. I miss living in the country at times, but then at other times I am glad I live in the city. Everything is in walking distance. Here is Michigan we have so many walking trails. I have always been a nature girl so I cannot wait to hit up … [Read More...]
Trying To Figure Out This Weight Loss Thing
April 25, 2019 By Jammie Morey Leave a Comment
Losing weight has always been a challenge for me. When I left my husband back in December 2017 I ended up losing 50 pounds within 4 months. I went through a depression state a few months later and ended up gaining some of the weight back. December 2018 I was finally after a year of living with family members able to get my daughter and I into our own place. Having my own kitchen gave me the ability to cook and stay away from fast food. This kept my weight pretty stable. I then decided I had to do something so I started counting calories. I will never understand this whole counting … [Read More...]

When you start a family, it’s important that you begin making plans for their future right away.
