Onions -- $1.39/ 7 = .20
Mushrooms -- $1.89/ 3 = .63
Rice -- $1.79/ 5 = .36

Kabobs
Ingredients
Wooden/Metal skewers
Meat choice (chicken, lean steak)
Choices of veggies (tomatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms)
Instructions
Cube up meat and marinate in your choice of free seasonings or sauces in a ziploc bag for a couple hours. For my seasonings I truly just pull random stuff out of my fridge and cabinets. Lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, whatever you heart desires.  Cut pepper and onion in squares. One at a time skewer meat and veggies one at a time until full. Place on grill and cook until done/tender.

Rice
Ingredients
1 tsp olive oil
1 Tbsp minced carrots
1 Tbsp minced onion
1 tsp minced bell pepper
1 tsp minced garlic
½ cup brown rice
1 tsp liquid aminos
Directions

In a skillet, place olive oil and warm on medium heat. Add in minced veggies and cook until tender; stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic & stir. Put the rice in a pan and add 1 cup of water & soy sauce. Cover and simmer on low for 5-10 minutes or until rice is tender; stirring occasionally. Remove from pan and enjoy.

Through Sickness & Health

Ya'll it's been interesting over here. I know its been a few weeks since I've blogged & I'm just gonna keep it real, its because my focus right now is keeping my head above water! Being a mom is hard, being a wife is hard, being a business owner is hard, loving yourself is hard, staying healthy is hard, shit LIFE is hard. But its what you do with the hard thrown at you that actually counts. With holidays, kids home from break & ending the year on new years eve with Kenny having surgery, we ended 2019 straight wildddddd. So 2020 we brought in with a whole new learning curve. If you know me, or follow me regularly. You know I thriiiiivvvveee on routine. So i'm like a new little baby trying to walk through this chaos without falling down. *spoiler alert, i'm clumsy AF* I will be back to a regular schedule, at some point, but I know that point isn't today so I'm just controlling the controllable. That's the secret though. To a good life, to...

Make today your day 1

Mondays, A fresh start, new week, the inevitable day 1.  Today is day 1 for my new boot camp. && It always excites me to kick off a new boot camp because of the energy and hope my challengers show up with. They commit to joining with their heart set on crushing their goals. They are excited, full of energy, not sure what to expect but ready to try their hardest. They want to be healthier, happier and more confident. The BEST part about my job is giving others the opportunity to do something for themselves. I love seeing them PROUD. Sharing their sweaty selfies, saving no to junk food. Smiling because for the first time in forever they did something for them.  You see, these small acts. They are HUGE acts of courage. Facing your life and deciding you want to change, that is hard. It means you have to overcome old habits and create new ones.  Often our biggest struggle isn't that we aren't capable. Its that we don't believe in ourselves yet.  To ...
