One of my favorite vegetables is zucchini, so I am always looking for new ways to prepare it. And all of my recipes right now have to be able to to be made ahead since our evening schedule is crazy with activities. I made this earlier in the day and plopped it in the oven fro 20 minutes while we got in the door and settled and then dinner was served! </div>

To be honest I don't love reheated food; I like freshly cooked meals. So I make meals I can prep earlier and then plop in the oven or crock pot to finish. And it saves on clean up at night. BONUS! I made a bunch of these meatballs and I'm now eating them for lunches as a meatball sub!<br />

In honor of St. Patricks Day I am going to share my Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Recipe. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I love cabbage rolls, but honestly have never made them. Soaking cabbage and rolling them...that just seems like a A LOT of work. I don't have time to make meals like that! Who Does? </div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I need meals that are FAST, EASY and DELICIOUS!! I won't sacrifice flavor in order to eat healthy! I made this recipe in the crock pot, but you can make it over the stove too and its just as easy! I served it over mashed cauliflower. Whole grain noodles or mashed potatoes would work GREAT too! </div>

If you don't do this, DO IT! Its going to save you money. By writing a small list of things to use as ingredients for the weeks meals, it will shorten your shopping list and you won't be throwing out any leftovers or spoiled produce. On my list was baked sweet potatoes which I had leftover from the night before and ground turkey in my freezer. It was a beautiful day yesterday and so I wanted to grill something, so I came up sweet potato and bacon turkey burgers. A weird combo youth might think, but I will tell you EVERY child ate these and raved about them. You can imagine how often that happens!!<br />

I have been running a FREE Crockpot Challenge Group and trying some new recipes this week. Eggplant Parmesan is my go to dish when I eat at an Italian Restaurant. It's usually breaded and fried and covered in cheese. This version is obviously not that, but I totally dug it!! So did the hubs and kids! And what was even better was that it was quick and easy and no cleanup with the crock pot! </div>

Last night my menu said Fish, Couscous and Vegetables. The kids said, "We want pizza!" I thought, man, that sounds good. I just stared at my menu and finally said screw it. I just am not in the mood fish tonight. BUT, wasn't ready to throw in the towel and go hog wild. I had to come up with a comfort food that would satisfy. We just had pasta this week, and although that is a meal I could eat every day its an easy one to make on busy days. I had tried spaghetti squash chow mien a couple weeks ago and it was a total failure, but I thought I would give it a good old italian try this time! Hence, lasagna! It turned out delicious and was even more food that I could eat! Its a keep for sure!! </div>

Cereal, Bagels and Oatmeal seems to be where we end up though. Mornings are chaotic and lets just face it; it's not that I don't have time per say to make eggs and omelets, but I don't wanna make them for everyone at 6:30am. I just don't.<br />
<br />
I tried these little gems last night. There are only 9 on the tray because the girl had gone through 3 before I would even get them out of the pan. And the the rest of the 9 were gone with an hour. I WILL be making these again, probably TODAY! Maybe they will last a little longer? And then again, maybe not, but that OK. They are certainly better than junk!<br />
<br />
And seriously simple. So simple!!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;">We LOVE Chicken Parmesan in this family, but its not always the healthiest...like when the chicken is coated in bread and fried in oil...yeah, not so much! Since we have made a lifestyle change, not just doing some diet for a couple of weeks, I needed to find a way to make chicken parmesan for an everyday meal, and not just a treat meal every once in a while. </span></div>

I haven't been to one in years and I L.O.V.E. their kitchen tools. They had a bunch of cool new things, one of them being a Veggie Strip maker...SOLD! I broke out this puppy and gave it a whirl to create ZoOdLes!! Every had them?!?!</span><span style="color: #a64d79;"> </span><span style="color: red;">Yes, I can eat whole grain pasta, but I can have soooo many zoodles...and who doesn't need some extra greens too? We will be making this again. My only recommendation is to pat the zoodles dry to remove extra water before cooking. </span></div>

Michael has his Christmas luncheon (yep, a little late) with his sales team today. The plan was to go out to dinner, but since everyone is on his or her New Years health kick it got changed to a potluck lunch-in. I struggled all week with what to make (and many times told him it's his thing, why am I the one having to decide and make it?!?!). But last night it finally came to me on my way to soccer practice. </div>

So this went down at 6:30 this morning. And honestly, it took maybe half an hour, if that. </div>

<li>Peel cucumbers so that some strips of skin remain (this is gives it a cool look- nothing else.)</li>
<li>Cut cucumber slices about 2 inches thick</li>
<li>With a small melon scooper or spoon and scoop out the seeds in the center about half way through the cucumber</li>
<li>Take a paper towel and dry the water from the center of the cucumber that will pool in the holes.</li>
<li>Add hummus to a quart size baggie and cut a hole in the tip.</li>
<li>Pipe hummus into cucumbers</li>
<li>Garnish with peppers if desired. I used 3 different types of hummus, so I used one pepper color for each flavor. Also, I garnished the Basil Pesto with a sprinkle of basil and topped the Roasted Pine Nut with a couple of pine nuts. </li>

My kids love eggs, omelets, pancakes, oatmeal...pretty much any breakfast food for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I would eat breakfast anytime too, how about you? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
When I first started drinking shakes, I was sad because I didn't get to eat breakfast. I felt like I was missing out. Then I thought, who am I kidding, I don't have to have breakfast at 8am. Most of the time I workout in the morning and have a shake right after and then at 11ish I have "brunch." I eat about 5 times a day, so who says it all has to follow the rules?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is one of my favorite healthy breakfast meals. And it fit perfectly into the 21 day fix or any meal plan using the containers (I am following the Hammer and Chisel meal plan). </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our 2015 family vacation this year was planned before we knew we were moving to the beach. So we moved less than 5 minutes from the beach and drove 14 hours to go to the beach. But it was all worth it for a nice relaxing time with Grandma and Grandpap, Aunt Bridget, Uncle Melvyn and William and Aubrey; who we hadn't seen in year. The kids had a GREAT time playing with their cousins!! It was a fantastic week all staying together in an oceanfront house.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This was a fantastic meal and super easy to prep ahead of time; so when we got home from soccer all I did was reheat the chicken and corn. WaLa...a wonderful salad! If your following the 21 day fix or Hammer and Chisel meal plan the containers are on the picture. </span></div>

working on our resolutions, or maybe we have broken them already? Haha. I am
working on finding the balance in life (I mean who isn't really?) In August I
thought I'd have so much time since all my kids went to school this year.
Boy, was I wrong. I find myself busier than ever. I started a new career
and I am LOVING what I am doing because it’s just me being me and sharing my
passions for things I love. That's everyone’s dream job, right? It’s mine for
sure. But it's also a job and I have to work hard at it. So how do I find the
balance between my work, my kids life and time for me? How do I create the best
me in this crazy world? How do I feed my family on the go, yet still keep it
healthy, or at least semi-healthy? How do I not look like I jumped out of bed
10 minutes ago yet keep it simple and easy?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been off and on with it, sometimes keeping up well and sometimes letting life
get in the way. Well, here we are in the New Year and I have not posted since
September, but its been on my conscious for some time now. I have recipes and
things I want to share. And I have fun times and memories to archive. So, here
we go again... trying to find the balance. Any your all invited to join in my
journey. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We are all always looking for healthy and easy weeknight meals, right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is one of my families favorites. Dinner in 15 minutes...cant beat that! And even Carson was asking for more. If you know Carson, he is my picky eater; chicken nuggets, hot dogs, turkey sandwiches and mac and cheese. So the fact that he was asking for 3rd's last night says a lot!!</div>

<h4>
Pan-Seared Tilapia with Tomatoes and Black Olives</h4>
<div>
Let me say there is no science to this recipe. No measurements. I just use however much I need to feed the amount of people in my family eating dinner that night. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Ingredients:</u></b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Tilapia Fillets</li>
<li>Cherry Tomatoes (cut in halves or quarters, depending on the size)</li>
<li>Black Olives, sliced</li>
<li>Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Red Pepper Flakes, Parsley</li>
<li>Parmesan Cheese</li>
</ul>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Mix Tomatoes, Olives, Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Parsley & Red Pepper and cook in a non-stick pan or about 2 minutes until warm. Remove from pan and put aside.</li>
<li>Salt and Pepper Tilapia Fillets and add to non-stick pan. Cook about 4-5 min and then flip. Do not flip to soon; tilapia is delicate and will fall apart if not handled with care. </li>
<li>Add tomato mixture to top and cook about 4 minutes. Until fish is 135 degrees and flakes easily.</li>
<li>Top with a small sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese</li>
</ol>
<h4>
ENJOY!</h4>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I served it with grilled corn, eggplant and asparagus. To make all 3 I sprayed them with non-stick cooking oil and salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add corn to medium high heat on grill before veggies, as it takes a little longer to cook. Flip corn and veggies as needed.</div>

<span style="color: #a64d79;">As most of you know, all my kids went to school this year, all day, every day, for the first time. We are in a new town, a new state, where I don't know many people yet. As so many moms do, I have been debating what to do with my life now that the kids are all in school. I have been mostly a stay at home mom for 11 years. Do I get a job? Volunteer all day? What do I do for me? How do I find the balance?</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">A lot of my friends chimed in with FANTASTIC ideas and I have been mulling them all over for the past couple of weeks. And then it hit me....</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about <a href="http://reallifemotherhoodof4.blogspot.com/2015/08/my-fitness-journey.html">My Fitness Journey</a>. I received a lot of GREAT feedback, BUT best of all, I had a number of people tell me that I inspired them. I was beyond humbled by that and have been following up with those friends. They mean the world to me, and if this is their time, I want them to succeed! That made my blood pump!! I was excited by the fact that I could help someone. So after much thought, I decided that is where I am being called. I am going to use that excitement for helping other moms and make that into my "career". </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">I 100% believe that every mom can, and should, find a little time for themselves each day. Looking and feeling good about yourself makes you a better mom, wife, businesswoman, volunteer, whatever it is that you do. I try to make that time every day. I workout for at least 30 minutes, try to eat healthy, get showered and dressed and put on some make-up (even if it is just mascara and lip gloss). </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHBkyILP7aXA6RAfaV-IYVh7lL992dLpISWyNwcHQEWeCy8PiZ_RiAEJigl72qGF9hKCW5DhLJEpr-G3hS2B35Hn6Akvbh5DlJ4yrVgOupPe-KQ1KqVbCHG0hcJL3uJPJz2FOx-lXU41R1/s1600/IMG_2359.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHBkyILP7aXA6RAfaV-IYVh7lL992dLpISWyNwcHQEWeCy8PiZ_RiAEJigl72qGF9hKCW5DhLJEpr-G3hS2B35Hn6Akvbh5DlJ4yrVgOupPe-KQ1KqVbCHG0hcJL3uJPJz2FOx-lXU41R1/s200/IMG_2359.JPG" width="200" /></span></a><br />
<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">I have the SAME struggles as every mom; my kids fight, we are busy to the max, the laundry is overflowing, the house always needs cleaned....it never ends!! So I KNOW what you all are going through. I am in the trenches with you! </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">There are some FANTASTIC things that I use everyday; that I TRULY believe in, which is why I want to share them with you.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">1. <b><a href="http://www.teambeachbody.com/member/sn/Gretchen506">Beachbody Workouts</a></b>- I have done P90x, Insanity, P90x3, T25 and tried a couple others too, through online streaming. I have a good knowledge of the programs, what they offer, and what works for what you need in your life! The best part, most programs are only 25-30 minutes a day!! You CAN do that!!! I am going to be setting up challenge groups on Facebook to motivate you, keep you accountable and HELP you reach your fitness goals!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">2. <a href="http://www.shakeology.com/gretchen506"><b>Shakeology</b></a> - I use this EVERY day, as a meal replacement, usually the meal right after my workout. I am NOT a big supplement girl. I don't like putting a bunch of stuff in my body or taking pills. This shake has so many vitamin and nutrients in it, tastes DELICIOUS! It also keeps me feeling full and full of energy. It's amazing! </span><br />

I had some leftover pasta from Sunday, so I searched through my fridge and pantry and came up with this dish. It turned out light and full of flavor. The problem is I don't have exact measurements for things; I just threw them in until it looked good; but i'll try to give you a general idea. I made this just for two since I didn't have enough noodles for everyone.</div>

Warehouse Clubs are my friend; it takes a lot of food to keep 6 people happy and fed! But when you don't have a big pantry (or much extra storage space in general) it takes some organization to make it work. To make the most of my space, I used stackable baskets from Target (which I had made in Birmingham), as well as an over the door pantry organizer from Amazon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">I recommend as much as you can take out of boxes and bags, do it! Pour your flour, oats, sugar, etc. into containers. Take those little instant oatmeal packets from the box and put them in a bin. Open granola bar boxes and snacks and dump them into a "Snack Bin" for easy access for the kids (see the bottom bin).</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">
To make the labels I bought the cardboard cutouts fromHobby Lobby and laminated them with individual sheets that I got from there too. I hole punched them and used some ribbon to</div>
</span><span style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">
tie them onto the baskets. Simple and easy.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

So don't be intimidated because I promise you that once you taste the difference, the small amount of time and effort you out into making it will all be worth it!!<br />
<br />
And its a GREAT way to bond as a family; to get the kids involved in cooking. They can easily help. I use the attachments for the Kitchen Aid Mixer. I recommend those for ease, but you can just as easily, roll your dough and cut it with a knife.<br />

<h4>
Basic Egg Pasta Recipe</h4>
<div>
<ul>
<li>4 Large Eggs</li>
<li>3 T water </li>
<li>3 1/2 cups all purpose flour</li>
<li>1 tsp salt</li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
Put all ingredients into mixer and mix on a low speed with a flat mixer for about 1 minute.<br />
<br />
Exchange flat mixer for dough hook and beat until a large ball of pasta forms. You may need to add more water to get it to the right consistency. You want the dough to form a ball, but not be sticky.<br />
<br />
Let it rest for 20 minutes.<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I recommend a drying rack. Makes it easy to hang the noodles.</td></tr>

<br />
<h4>
Making the Pasta</h4>
<div>
After the dough rests divide it into 4 balls. Flatten each ball with your hands into an oval about 1/4in thick. Put it through the roller attachment; starting at 1. You will probably need to cut it in half after the first time through to keep the size managable. Keep putting it through until desired thickness. About 4-5 for thicker noodles and 7-8 for thin noodles. Set aside and roll out all 4 balls of dough. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then decide on how you want your noodles cut and add the right attachment. You put the dough through and out comes the noodles. Just be sure to catch them on the way out. The kids LOVE this part! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can do this by hand by rolling out your dough onto floured cutting board and then cutting with a butter knife.</div>

Cooking the Pasta</h4>

<span style="font-size: large;">With school in session and so many papers coming in and out we have to have a way to stay organized. I put together this wall as our command area, so everything has a place and kids can be responsible for their own stuff.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVmFbvJ_iisVC7H1Ks51BlXj8Hzbx5KMCRoOEsPnkqxL26KmOVuNSAeG8PXZY65iyM_aLXxaarXIGN0-bVLcB6YhoItOZbGdQutisBoooCpS6nPIWYx4SVMsBmoDkIFFwzBzUPLSdQiVYH/s1600/IMG_2039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVmFbvJ_iisVC7H1Ks51BlXj8Hzbx5KMCRoOEsPnkqxL26KmOVuNSAeG8PXZY65iyM_aLXxaarXIGN0-bVLcB6YhoItOZbGdQutisBoooCpS6nPIWYx4SVMsBmoDkIFFwzBzUPLSdQiVYH/s400/IMG_2039.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Backpacks</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used extra large command hooks for the backpacks. Are they the most stylish...no, but they hold up well and are movable if need be. And there are no holes in the wall! The stickers above the backpacks are dry erase wall stickers that I got off of Amazon. I thought they would be fun to write cute messages or reminders, such as PE today, on them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Folder and Agenda Organizer</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I bought this wall organizer off of Amazon. Its hard to find one with four slots, but this one is perfect! The school gives every child an agenda book which must be brought home nightly, and signed for the younger ones. and of course, we have homework and folders. So everyone can unpack themselves and I can go through their stuff and put back in the cubby what goes back to school. In the morning they know to take everything that's in their cubby and put it in their backpack. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Calendar</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The kids like to know whats going on, so I put our family calendar in that spot as well. Its color coded so they know who has activities each day. I of course still use my trusty COZI app for my main calendar. I know I have raved about that app on here before; of your in need of a calendar for your device check it out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Bulletin Board</h4>
I have the Bulletin board there for school newsletters, birthday invites, etc. Those things that need easy access.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Pictures</h4>
<div>
My sister-in-law got me those two frames. They make it easy to display the kids artwork. And of course, they love having it up! It can hold up to 100 papers, so you can just keep adding work to them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">That's our little corner of school organization this year. Cheers to an organized and FUN school year everyone!</span></div>

The kids were nervous and excited to start. Its always hard to start a new school. And this school is a little different in the way is laid out; it doesn't have any inside walls. But after meet the teacher day last Friday, they couldn't wait to start!<br />

This mama on the other hand had a hard time this year. I sent my baby off to Kindergarten. And YES, I knew the day was coming, but it wasn't going to be this year. I wasn't prepared for it to be this year. But here in Florida I had to send him, so ready or not here we go...yes, there were some tears. In fact I was shaking so bad after dropping everyone off the first day that I had to sit in my car for a few minutes before I could drive home.<br />
<br />
Everyone came home all smiles and excited for Day 2, so that makes my heart happy!<br />
<br />
And its PRETTY COOL that they get to be together in the SAME SCHOOL for 1 year. The first and only year this will ever happen!!<br />
<br />
I have a ton of things to get caught up on, errands to run, cleaning and yard work, but later this week, I plan on sitting down and enjoying the peace and quiet.<br />
