Timmy Cahill Project

Just another little push for those of you who have a little extra kindness in your hearts this Christmas season.

The Timmy Cahill Project is a great cause that is getting ready to make their big donation to families who have had to say good-bye to their babies. Timmy himself fought a very strong fight in his precious 4 days.

His parents recieved a bereavement box after his passing... something they now cherish. They have decided to create more bereavement boxes to donate to the NICU. Please see the link in this post, or off to the right hand side of this page for more information.

I eat *my* veggies!

Not as often as I should, but I try! One of my favorite veggie fixes is also one of the fastest ones! Very few ingredients too!

What you need:

Bag of frozen veggies (any will do!)

Butter/Margarine/Butter Flavored Cooking Spray (any will work, as long as it's not too high of a water content)

Salt, Pepper and Garlic(powder, fresh or minced will work)

OR

Garlic Pepper

Toss it all into a pan, and cook on medium till the veggies start to brown around the edges...

You will need enough butter to keep the veggies from sticking to the pan, and give the spices something to stick to! After that, it's all about how buttery you like your veggies to taste!

Enjoy!

You can make this meal a little more hearty by adding some chicken to the mix. Just make sure to fully cook it first. The veggies will cook very fast and won't give the chicken much time in the pan!

**Tip: if you use Butter flavored spray (yes, I'm talking about the stuff us use to spray the cookie sheet), you will feel like you're using a crazy amount. And you may need to keep adding more, but, it's calorie free, so don't stress!

Quick Toddler Lunch!

I believe that I am currently parenting one of the pickyest toddlers there is... of course, I also believe that most parents feel this way at one point or another!

 

After yet another lunchtime of me watching my child push one thing after another off of her tray, I just about gave up and let her eat popcorn and peanut butter. However, I decided to try one more thing, and go figure, it worked!

 

It's basically homemade Mac 'n Cheese, but with Spaghetti noodles instead of Elbow pasta.

 

• Boil the noodles and drain
• Add in a slice of cheese
• Add a touch of milk and/or butter to make it creamy

... viola'! Success!!!

I left the noodles full length. They made for added fun (and added Mommy free time) during lunch time!



Excited!

So excited! One of my Etsy Listings was just added to someone's Treasury List!
