Carrot Quinoa Soup

It may not sound like much, but this soup was extremely yummy and filling! Great for a cold night and easy on the budget.

- 6-9 Carrots peeled and chopped (I chose colored carrots this time)
- 1/2 Yellow Onion minced
- 4 Celery stalks chopped
- 1/2 cup Quinoa
- 1 32oz box Veggie Stock

Directions:
- Sautee onions until tender in olive oil on med heat.
- Add carrots and celery and sautee until tender.
- Add Veggie Stock and bring to a boil, then lower to Low heat.
- I cook the quinoa separately and add at the end.
**You can cook the quinoa in the soup, however you will need an extra cup of liquid.
- Add salt and/or Red Pepper Flakes to jazz it up.

The battle is on!

Ughhh...The sickies have made it to our home! All I want to do is run for cover or put on a gas mask and pray no one coughs, wipes their nose on me or sneezes in my face! Haahhaaa! Such wishful thinking for mommy of three! There's not even the slightest chance I won't at least get sneezed on or have someone wiping their buggers on my shirt. Hey! That’s life when you have little kids. And expecting to have beautiful tops that don’t look like condors eliminated all over them is everyone woman’s dream, but not necessarily a reality! Oh, and how I’d love to wear beautiful clothing on a regular basis. But for now, I’ll settle for my t-shirts, yoga pants and the occasional dress up moment for a special outing. Fancy clothing will have to wait for this Momma, because I don’t get a lot of time to mess around with being ultra-stylish. When I do stop to try and sort out my outfits, do my hair or brush my teeth… is usually the time my toddler or the 5 yr old start going through my

How to get your kids to eat healthier!

The best way I know of getting the kids to eat healthier is to have them help you prepare the food! Egg muffins are a super simple meal to make, and an easy way to get the kids involved too! All you have to do is cut up your toppings, lay them aside and mix the eggs. Once you're done mixing the eggs (I recommend the adult do this if the kids are little), add the egg mixture to the muffin tin evenly, and then have the kids sprinkle in the toppings. Easy peasy! In this recipe we used 12 eggs, added 1/4 cup onion, 1/2 cup tomato and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Bake @ 375° for 20 minutes. I'm so proud of Miss K for helping me make these today! 💕 She did such a great job helping! And once they were done she was super excited to chow down on the fruits of her labor.
