12 oz of Velveeta
1 cup of milk (I use 2%)
2 Small tomatoes or 1 large

Detox Experiment!! Wish me luck!

Juice Please!

So I am feeling like I am in a funk and it has been going on for a while now. I am tired all the time and I don't feel like doing anything including being very Holiday spirited. I have realized that I do not take very good care of myself, I don't get good sleep, I definitely don't eat well and I do not exercise! Wow I am in bad shape so....I am going to do something about it!! I have made up my mind to eat better and detox three days a month just to cleanse out any of the toxins that I accidentally missed.

I am going to the store today to buy:
Kale
Cucumbers
Celery
Parsley
Cilantro
Oranges
Lemons
Carrots
Apples
Grapefruit

For starters.

If you have any suggestions or recipes please let us all know. I will keep you updated.

EJ update! Video!!

DADADADA!!!

I have come to the conclusion that EJ is going to walk before he crawls. He absolutely hates to be on his tummy, so what is a mommy supposed to do? Nothing! He will crawl if and when he wants to I guess. He is also mastering picking up a puff and putting it into his mouth, yay baby we have been working on that for a minute!! Speaking of puffs, he has found his toes and insists on playing with them during a diaper change, really EJ as if your squirming doesn't make it difficult enough. He is also starting to focus a little more when we Skype with family back home, before he could careless (nothing personal, he's a baby) but now he is a little bit of a ham showing people that he knows how to make a mess with his mouth... bubbles anyone with a side of spit?!! No? OK, on to other things. He loves his exersaucer (thanks cousins!!) he can rock that thing so hard that he will move it across the livingroom,which brings me to his latest milestone! The other day he was in his exersaucer and all of a sudden, there it is, it hits me like a ton of bricks. He says dada and I don't mean every once in a while I mean all day long ever since! Do you know what that can do to a stay at home mom's self esteem? Nothing, because he has said mama when he's mad or hungry. That's what I keep telling myself. Anyway, Houston we have teeth!! Yup two large ones on top to accompany the the two on the bottom. He is growing up too fast for mom. I mean come on, I just scheduled his 9 month wellness appointment.

Apple and Pear puree! For baby!

So we have figured out that EJ's favorite desert is apple and pear puree and being the mother you have to taste test everything so it's my favorite too! Here's how we do it.

Ingredients: (this is just the taste ratio)
2 Red Delicious (because they are soft and usually sweet)
1 Bartlett pear (kind of tart)

So they even each other out
Since EJ is 8 months old I peel it and leave some of the peel on (that's where a lot of the nutrients are) then I core chop and steam with a dash of cinnamon!!!
After we steam we let cool, then place into bullet or processor and again because of his age we don't puree as much. Then we fill up the ice trays cover and freeze!

Kitchen Aid Mixer Deal!!!!

KitchenAid 6 qt. Professional Stand Mixer

OK so I finally bit the bullet and bought a Mixer, I have been wanting one for a long time! I decided to look for it online at Kohl's I found the Kitchen Aid Professional 600 Stand Mixer 575 Watt for $484.49 after tax and a shipping surcharge (might be more depending on where you live). Used the Promo code UGET20OFF and it took $90.00 off which brought it down to $389.09! Then there's a $50 rebate for this mixer which will bring it down to $339.09 final price!

They also have it at Target! in select colors for $359 but $309 after $50 mail in rebate. Better deal if you don't care about the color!
