Healthier Eating

Being so busy, we eat whatever is fastest! But on my days off I really like to cook! This was from Cinco de Mayo. I didn't put the picture up but I came home from work and Brad grilled some chicken and we have grilled chicken tacos and I made virgin strawberry daiquiri's, so yummy! The other day I really wanted kabob's. I really like sho-yu chicken so we grilled chicken kabobs with onions and mushrooms that marinaded in the sho-yu sauce for a few hours. When they were almost done we grilled the tortillas and threw it all together. It was so good and not too bad for us.

By the time we ate we had 2 flour tortillas and a chicken breast with vegi's! We love grilling and are so happy it's semi grilling weather!
If you have anymore fun grilling ideas let me know!! We're up to any challenge..

Last but not least my favorite of all. When I have more time in the morning, I like to mix up my Slimfast. (I've been drinking slimfast forever, it's my favorite thing to have in the morning) I always keep frozen berries in my freezer. Schwan's sells a mixed bag that has Blackberries, Blue Berries, and Raspberries. I also always keep another bag of blueberries, but because I really like them. So I put my normal slimfast in the blender and throw in about a cup of berries, and it's this wonderful chocolate berry shake.. I highly suggest trying it those slimfast lovers out there.

Random...

With Brad and I both in school and working, life is a little crazy and a lot of busy! At the beginning of the month my friend Jen and sister-in-law told me about something called Bountiful Baskets. For $15 I got all of this!! It was so fun because I love fresh produce but really can't afford as much as I would like. All of this lasted me about 3 weeks and was so fun to have, Brad's favorite was the melons, and trying an artichoke for the first time!! When school started up again we had to say good-bye to the beard. Brad loves having his facial hair and I don't really care either way, but here is Bradley with no more facial hair. He can't wait to graduate next year! I will never see a clean shaven face again... so he says!!
