Healthy Mexican Spahitas

Recipe for this yummy dish!

sliced tomatos
cheese
sour cream
your choice of pasta noodles, I use whole grain

in a slow cooker overnight cook 1 lb of your choice of steak, (I use organic top sirloin) two packages of taco seasoning, (or I use 1/4 a cup of frontier's organic taco seasoning), with one can of black beans, (I sprout my beans from dried beans, anyone wanting info on this process please email me.) and Two cups of water, more or less depending on the length of cooking, I slow cook mine over night about nine hours, I also throw in onions, peppers, whatever fajita stuff I have on hand.

For my protein packed guacamole, I use one avacado and 1/2 cup low fat small curd cottage cheese, buy the good stuff not the walmart brand you CAN taste a difference. Now I know you are saying what cottage cheese, gross I hate cottage cheese! Just try it. It does not taste like cottage cheese at all. You can also add cilantro, garlic, or whatever you normally put in you guacamole. Put it all in a blender and blend it until there is no more chunks. This is a very creamy and rich guacamole. I personally would add cilantro, garlic etc after you blend the guacamole.

Layer it all up, in this picture there is no meat, because I don't like cow....

Spaghetti
meat
beans
onions
peppers
cheese
sour cream
guacamole

You gotta try this recipe, super yummy.

If you are allergic to wheat, or going carb free try it all piled up on top of a salad or corn tortilla. Also very yummy on flour tortillas too!

my gro baby diapers

2009-05-21T12:55:00.000-07:00

Oh how I love my gro baby diapers, can I count the ways,
1.) Saves lots of money do you know by the time your lil one is potty trained that it cost about $3000 buck, whoa!! Gro baby diapers cost about 100 bucks for enough to get you through a day, so I have enough I wash about every two days.
2.) I am not filling up the landfills with diapers that take 75 years to break down and emit toxic dioxins!
3.) My lil one has very sensitive skin and this is one of the few things that don't cause major issues!
4.) They are uber cute!
5.) I like the way her poop turns the washer water lime green! (I know that is highly weird, but it is so cool!)

And the dislikes I have are as follows
1.) they are not coming out with prints till the end of the year
2.) that it is not june yet, in june vanilla snaps and laundry stuff will get released
3.) that I just don't have enough!!

I am a lazy blogger

2009-02-22T16:11:00.000-08:00

I have realized how long it has been since I have blogged.... oops, I have find life to be challenging at this point. In the last trimester of my pregnancy I was on bed rest for a spinal condition, Spondylosisthesis, yikes I can barely say that. After my pregnancy I just felt awful, she was breech and I had a c-section. Something was just not right, in fact I have not felt well for a long time. I had my thyroid checked because I have been struggling with weight for a while and that was good, that doc said it was because of my PCOS and the med for that would dry up my breast milk. I was not going to do that. I saw another doctor who specialized with a more natural approach to health and medicine. Turns out I have some major food allergies, I am allergic to grains, soy product, insulin resistant. This limits a lot out of my diet due to my being a lacto-ovo vegan. Doc said I had to start eating at least some fish, ughh. It is so gross. My food allergies were actually fueling my PCOS, making me gain gross amounts of weight for my body frame, making me lethargic, have joint pain, and many other symptoms. Having a three year old and a two month old is very challenging when all you want to do is sleep. I started my new diet, well I guess it is more of a lifestyle than a diet and after half of a day my body was going through serious withdraw symptoms. I realized I needed to have more preparation for my new grain/soy/sugar lifestyle. My house was completely chaotic and is getting better due to my bed rest (although I wasn't a very good bedrester), and I had no meals prepared or shopped for groceries. So today I am finishing the house, tomorrow meal planning, Tuesday shopping, and Wednesday is D-day. So all of you bloggers out there hold me accountable and get ready for recipes and pics of food. I will keep you updated on my weight loss and my overall energy and well being.

Miracle of Life

2008-08-14T10:41:00.000-07:00

I love being pregnant, to feel this little one inside growing, kicking, flipping, and even hiccuping is a miracle!! The past two years of struggling with infertility were difficult. I didn't feel like a woman. I was unable to do what so many can do with ease, become pregnant. I had many emotions during that time, anger, saddness, frustration, hopelessness, and finally being content...but only after much prayer. Pregnancy is a miracle!! I thank the Lord for opening my womb and for teaching me about patience, and being content in whatever situation.

I just recently had yet another ultrasound, the last one the could see all the valves in the heart. Yeah, Daisy's heart looks good! She is a little bit though. She is smaller than what she should be, however for me that seems to be normal. Lily was only 5lb8oz when she was born. Right now baby is only 13 oz and baby should be 16 oz at 22nd week of pregnancy. Looks like more premie clothes...

Being disiplined in all areas in my life

2008-08-02T14:26:00.000-07:00

Right now we are trying our best to be disiplined, man it is hard!! We are trying our best to be debt free by dec 15 the baby's due date (other than our home loan). We never took out student loans for Codey's school but we took out a few small credit card to assist with school. Does anyone have any ideas on getting them paid off?? To make matters worse my sister just called and asked if I would come with her to our local outlet mall... I think it will be a good time to visit with my Mom and sister but it might be too much of a temptation to spend money. I have been working three night shifts a week and it is starting to get hard to do. I am job hunting this week in hopes to find a job that might pay better that my current job. Codey is doing exceedingly well at his job and we should be able to soley live on his income. But we have this ugly debt looming over our head uggh. This is life, this is real, my goal is to be a stay at home mommy to train my girls to have a heart that seeks after the Lord.

Sleep Over Tutu style

2008-07-31T18:33:00.000-07:00

Last night we has my niece over for a slumber party and we made these fancy tutu's. I thought they would look kind of cheap because the instructions were so easy but actually they looked so nice people didn't believe I made them. Each one took about half an hour and cost about four dollars. I add a few extras than were not listed with the instructions, including bells and flowers. I had these two little ballerinas and everytime they took one step they chimed. The bell feature is quite nice with a three year old. I will post pictures of them later. For step by step instructions you can go to http://www.bowdesigns.50webs.com

My first post, hopefully

Okay this is my third time writing the same thing and I keep messing it up, grrr. So I am going to try this again. I am the wife of the best husband ever!! He is so supportive and loving to me. I am the mommy to two amazing little girls, the littlest is like a kung fu expert or at least that is how she kicks my bladder. I have undergone fertility treatments, been poked like a lab rat, and even had surgery to finally become pregnant with my second baby, Daisy Mae Jenkins who will be brought into the world around December 15!! Our first little girl, Lily is going to be an awsome big sister. Lily loves to read Daisy stories and sing her You are my Sunshine.
