Frozen Birthday Party & Party Time Blog Hop

This year my daughter wanted an Frozen Birthday Party.  I think every girl wants a a Frozen party!  So we waited patiently until the movie came out. Her Birthday was in January and the movie didn't come out until March. So we had a little time to get a fun Frozen party together. After watching the movie a half dozen time and listening to the sound track a hundred times I cam up with a few simple ideas to make an amazing party.  So I thought I would share them with you.  

Pina Colada Smoothie with Carnation Breakfast Essentials

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Nestle, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia  #BreakfastEssentials http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV”

Do you have a wake up and go routine??  I try most days to get up and go to the gym then come home and get my kids on the bus. We go to school crazy early.  The bus comes at 7:30.  So my kids have to be fairly responsible  and get up and get going  on there own.  I am one of those moms that who makes my kids do their own lunch and then they have to have a healthy breakfast.  Like Eggs and bagels kind of breakfast.  I find that my kids do better in school when they have a breakfast packed with protein.  So when Carnation Breakfast Essentials came to my home, I was ecstatic to find out that each serving has essential vitamins and  13 grams of protein!  And its so easy to make my 6 year does it on her own!

Homemade Whole Wheat Tortillas Recipe

A few weeks ago I was planning an activity for a few of my young women.  I decided to teach the girls how to make Creme Brulee and Homemade Tortillas.  The Creme Brulee was to die for and I loved to tortillas.  At the time I was getting ready to start my 21 day fix.  So I wanted to make the tortilla recipe a little healthier so I went to work trying a few different things and came up with this delicious recipe. I used wheat flour and coconut oil to healthy them up. 

Homemade Knock Off Peanut Butter Twix Bars {Recipe}

I am a total kid of the 80's.  Neon, Cyndi Lauper, Garbage Pail Kids and Cabbage Patch Dolls.  I remember it all.  There were so many foods I loved that are no longer on the market.Some of you may have remembered the Mars company had 4 kinds of Twix Bars.  Caramel, Peanut Butter, Cookies and Cream and Chocolate.  All of them are super delicious.  But, over time they slowly pulled each from the market except the caramel. So recently I started having a hankering for the Peanut Butter Twix. So I started thinking how could I make those. Then a wonderful company Chocoley, contacted me and asked if I wanted to try there products.  I jumped at the opportunity.  After checking out their products I thought this was the perfect opportunity to make my homemade Peanut Butter Twix.

Snap Re-Cap and a free Printable

A few weeks ago I attended SNAP! Conference.  A Blog conference for Craft and DIY bloggers.  The weekend conference is is filled with amazing Sponsors, classes to teach you just about anything related to blogging and networking with an amazing group of bloggers. To say this conference was amazing this year is an understatement. To recap my thoughts and experiences I have documented it here and made a free printable to share will all of you,  So please read on and enjoy the printable!

Over the course of 3 days I stayed up late like I was a college girl, ate delicious food I didn't have to make, made new friends, hugged old friends and partied like it was 1985. I got to meet one of my favorite people.  He even held my hand. Eeekk! Alex Boye' is amazing. His story, his dance moves and even his bald head.  

Best Crock pot Rotisserie Chicken you have ever eaten!

So a few weeks ago I started a 21 day program.  I am trying to get off those stubborn 15 pounds that keep bringing me down. So I have been looking for recipes and foods to help me on my journey. I love rotisserie chicken. Like the ones you get at the supermarket for $5.  You can use it in salads, sandwiches, wraps or just to eat. Just about anything you use rotisserie chicken for. I love the flavor and the ease that comes with buying one and and having it ready to eat. So when I was finding foods to eat for my 21 day fix I wanted to make my life as easy as possible and still eat clean. So I took a recipe from a recipe book that was for grilled chicken and made it in the crockpot.  It tasted just like the rotisserie chicken you buy in the store, but better. Juicy and already pulled off the bone! I also love having a recipe knowing what spices are in it.  Most of the spices you already have in your pantry.

Fire and Ice Popcorn Recipe

A Few days ago I shared a recipe for Cinnamon Bear Popcorn.  It is super delicious. Crunchy popcorn with a chewy cinnamon bear mixed in. One of my favorites to date. I thought it would be quite fun to add a little twist to it.   I mixed it with a little white chocolate. For a Fire and Ice Popcorn.  It is so easy to make and everyone will love it!
