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 world. He is one smart little boy and he brings so much joy to everyone he encounters. … [Read more...]

Turkey Tamales A Hit
December 3, 2021 By 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 masa. After I had the turkey ready and the masa ready I began the process of putting them together. The end result delicious. Everyone who tried them loved them. The All Recipe for the masa is now my go to for my main tamales. I am still on the search for a good recipe for sweet tamales. … [Read more...]
Learning How To Make Tamales
November 27, 2021 By Leave a Comment
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 started Googling different tamales. Did you know you can make almost anything into a tamale? Pumpkin pie, apple pie, all the dessert ones I found had me drooling. I want to learn how to make the sweet ones I had in Texas, I found a recipe similar I may try at a later date, but later this evening I am going to make tamales with left over turkey from Thanksgiving! I love turkey and I love tamales … [Read more...]
Being a Full Time Working Mom to Part Time
November 25, 2021 By Leave a Comment
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. With his medical condition I decided to contact 911. They came out and loaded him up and took him to the ER. Well, the hospital decided it was a COPD flare up and they sent him home. I was so upset because I knew he wasn't in the right condition to be home. I went over there to help him get settled in for the evening. I expressed to his daughter how I was concerned about her dad. The following … [Read more...]

My Cheat Day On Keto
October 8, 2019 By 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 soda to my daughter though and drank water all day. After two pieces I felt super full. Within an hour I was hungry and eating the remaining two pieces. I would say about 2 oclock my pizza was gone and I was super tired and I was extremely hungry. I just drank my water. I checked my ketosis level with my blood and it was .3 before I cheated it was 1.6 to 2.6. Since I was feeling super … [Read more...]
Keto is based on Ingredients
October 7, 2019 By 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 ingredients. If you're new to keto please research keto friendly ingredients. Look at ingredients first... watch for hidden sugars. Remember, grains are a no, soy is a no, corn is a no, surcralose is a no. If you keep things simple you'll do great. I am currently down 17 pounds and 15 inches. I feel amazing! If you're having problems finding things to cook, utilize social media, pinterest, … [Read more...]
Keto Is It The Right Choice For You
September 24, 2019 By Leave a Comment
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 pasta, my miracle whip, but my carbs were causing me a great deal of problems. Since starting keto I have learned so much and the way I feel has changed a great deal! In the past three weeks of doing full keto I have lost 14 pounds, I can see a change in my face and the way my clothes are fitting. I have learned that several companies out there advertising keto products, yet the ingredients … [Read more...]
Intermittent Fasting For Weight Loss
June 3, 2019 By 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 a day that equals 600 calories and isn't including any of my meals! No wonder I can't lose weight, no wonder the scale was slowly climbing. I was counting calories, I was somewhat portion controlling, I would lose 5 pounds then bam it came back, until I discovered Intermittent Fasting. I still am not sure of all the science behind. However, I do know I can only eat between 10am and 6pm. … [Read more...]
Summer Is Around The Corner
April 26, 2019 By Leave a Comment
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 some of the trails. This is my second summer back in Michigan, however, this summer is going to be a lot better, because I am settled into my new home, so my daughter and I will have the ability to actually enjoy it. I want to take her to a few different places this year, so she can experience the beauty this state has to offer. What are some must sees here in Michigan that I need to take my … [Read more...]
