Hunger Hits Home

So Tasty Tuesday this week is a little different.  Our Kids  they have food, they know what a full belly is.  They are lucky we have food and I cook for them,  but many many children do not have a meal or food in their bellies. Our American children go hungry every day, we have the ability to end this, now by 2015

When we feed out dog $35 bag of dog food in my case it is 2 dogs… Kids go hungry.
When we spend $50 to go out to eat ..Kids Go hungry
When I spend $7 on cheese .. Kids Go Hungry

I am pledging that I will donate Going out once  a month … to those kids.. Will you join me?

Lens Friends Family Easter Pictures

So this Easter week we took pictures. I went to Lens Friends in Huntington Valley Pa.  Lens friends is a great place to have fun and photo studio with a twist.  You take the photos.  The owner Rick and Kara are great they provide all the props and the kids bring the creativity. Kara and Rick provide a fun creative environment for you and your children to play!  My kids loved it with his cousins.

While we were at Lens Friends they had live baby chicks.. check out all the kids.

Then we got in the props the girls did the pout face.. The Boys had a great time with the props once they loosed up they really got into the pictures.

I love Lens Friends  it is a great place if the kids are also allowed to use the cameras.  Kara said  it is fun seeing a preteen or teen take hold of the camera and have a great time.   The session includes studio set up, using camera, instruction how to use camera, props, cd of picture, and 1/2 photo time for about $47.  They also provide photo editing for a small fee.  Lens friends also offers a kids birthday party for $275 and include cake / pizza.  The parties also include a cd of all the pictures .  We took about 170 pictures in the time I was there.    The kids had a great time and said they loved it.  My sister Inlaw loved the experience and could not stop raving what a fun place to take pictures.    So I cant highly recommend Lens Friends enough.

Friday Fitness the Power of a Photo!

So this past week I can make all sorts of excuses I ran and I walked and I walks and ran. The  She Streams conference was great,  I did not run on the beach.  I did watch what I ate. I have moved this week,  cleaning and staying some what focused.  I had much to accomplish, So I fell behind on blog posts.   I will get caught up and it is all good.(it is ok to let myself off the hook).. I know Blah Blah Blah

So this week I was feel ok…. At She Streams I fit into a skit I was saving for Blogher strictly because the skirt was too tight. Well…  last week I tried the skirt on before the conference and it fits!! (it fits like a progresso soup commercial-  me talking into a tin can..is there a women I can talk to )

So as everyone was wait to head to dinner Saturday Night. ” I said I have to change to rock the skirt that I worked to fit into.”  Everyone at The Mother Company dinner  was very supportive towards my need for fashion, and also to judge my weight loss by a skirt… .   Yea I rocked the sequin skirt!!!  check me out above!

They also took a group shot and I did not hate myself in the picture looking like the Amazon in the back.. Check out the The Mother Company Blogger Dinner Photo.

So this is a week of pictures for me. Yesterday my Mother inlaw was done and we took a picture.  The one below with me in white is last summer the other photo is me with her today.  Yea I do look different.. the Power of a photo.

Sausage and Onions #TastyTuesday

Sausage and Onions  So in my family no one likes cooked green , yellow, or red peppers.  Which can make Sausage and peppers a hard meal to make, but I love the sausage flavor.  So I omit the peppers and make sausage onions without the slime peppers.  I serve it as a soup, on noodles and traditional on a roll

Sausage and Onions

  • 3 Onions- quartered and sliced
  • 1 clove of garlic sliced
  • 1 -2 lb of sausage  Links (for soup you can also use loose sausage)
  • 1 lb of mushrooms sliced
  • 1 bottle of beer
  • 1 can of whole tomatoes (I prefer red pack tomatoes)
  • 1 can of broth Chicken or vegetable
  • Add black pepper ¼ tsp
  • 2 tbls of hot sauce (I like Franks) Optional
  • Bacon slices (optional)
  1. 1 brown sausage, and bacon  in pot , remove and drain- leave dropping in pot
  2. Add to pot  chopped onions, garlic sauté, mushrooms,  till golden
  3. Add tomatoes
  4. Beer  and one can of broth, pepper and hot sauce
  5. Put in crock pot scraping all the goodness droppings off the bottom)  cook for 4 hours
  6. Now you can add more both and make it a sausage soup, of serve on noodles or rolls

Variations:

  • add the peppers back in ,
  • sausage soup add potatoes,
  • add kale at end of cooking 20 before finished

I do the soup because I don’t want the carbs from the noodles of the bread.
