Happy Blogoversary

Today marks one month since I began blogging! I know it’s not that long, but it’s crazy to know that my ideas have been read over 350 times. Surprised smile  The U.K, Germany, and Russia have even gotten into the action. How cool is that? Josh and I are just sprucing up the house before another long work week. I’ve been working double the hours over the past 2 weeks since people have been out for vacation, but all in all I know it’s good for me (and my bank account). Thought I’d share a quick and delicious recipe that’s sure to be a family favorite and would be smashing at a party, especially a “manly” party. I’ve yet to meet a man who doesn’t like buffalo wings or Mac N Cheese, so why not do both? Introducing…
The Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese
ULTIMATE BUFFALO CHICKEN MAC & CHEESE
INGREDIENTS:
8 oz. uncooked elbow macaroni or medium shell pasta (4 cups cooked)

1 (12.5 oz.) can HORMEL® Chunk White Chicken Breast packed in water, drained

1 (10 3/4 oz.) can CAMPBELL'S® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup

1 cup milk

8 oz. VELVEETA® pasteurized processed cheese, cubed

1 cup (4oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese

1/2 cup FRANK'S® REDHOT® Buffalo Wings Sauce or FRANK'S® REDHOT® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce


DIRECTIONS:
COOK pasta according to package directions using shortest cooking time. Drain and place into greased 2-qt. baking dish. Stir in chicken.
HEAT soup, milk and cheeses in medium saucepan, stirring until cheese is melted. Stir in RedHot Sauce.
POUR sauce over pasta and chicken; mix well. Top with buttered bread crumbs and blue cheese, if desired.
BAKE at 350°F for 30 min. or until hot and bubbly.

Recipe found at Frank’s Red Hot


I added some crunchy topping before baking by mixing bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic powder with butter. I’d be happy to give you the measurements, but I honestly just eyeballed it. Next time I’m definitely going to add the blue cheese, but as it was it was goooooood.

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi

Fit for a Princess

I know this is kind of bad, but I’m ready for summer to be over. I know, I know. I’m working on being content in the present, but I honestly can’t wait to see my family again (rocking some boots and sweaters wouldn’t be so bad either). I’m off to Denver in September and I’ll be in my hometown in Wyoming for Thanksgiving. I only get to see the family every 3 or 4 months so every time it’s like a special treat. They’re so fun! Speaking of which…I was talking to my sister Tiffany about throwing a birthday party for her daughter (my niece), Kali, while I’m home since Kali’s a November baby. Tiff was down for it, but she also wanted some help in re-decorating Kali’s room  and I can’t be any more excited. The idea for the very whimsical reno is to have a tree with some tangible flowers and branches. A dress-up station is also a must. Here’s some inspiration I’ve come across so far… Top to bottom, left to right: Lumme Designs Bed , Fairy Tale Bedroom found at Lyring , Linde Browning Desig

We made it! And still no baby

The first 35 weeks I prayed Anias would stay put. I may have prayed a little too hard! Yesterday was Anias' due date. At this point Eli had already made his appearance. Anias is his own little man. We had a couple of days this past week where I was sure he was on his way, one in particular when I was having contractions every 10-15 minutes after steadily building all day. Alas, it didn't happen. I've been praying that he comes before our scheduled induction Sunday, but trusting in whatever happens. Our doula was discouraging induction since I haven't had any progress and it is typically harder on your body to be induced. However, I need my parents' help and they leave the 27th. I really want to take advantage of help while I transition from being mom of one to mom of two. I had a rough time emotionally when Eli came, and I know that's natural, but I still want to use my support system as much as possible and I'm so thankful they are here to help. Our doc
