Me too!!! It’s crazy to be the parent and seeing your children taking pride in themselves, and achieving things! I think the most important thing is to help your kids develop a healthy self esteem, then they can take on the world! I think having a hard working mama and papa who take care of themselves is a big part of that!
Let the tears flow mom!

Grilled burgers & salad for dinner last night. Mine was topped with blue cheese and blackberry preserves on a Brioche bun. (If you haven’t tried this combo, I highly suggest it. Blue Cheese with any sweet jam, preserves, reduction, etc. Sweet & salty combo! )
I lightened up my burger for lunch today by using Suzie’s Thin Cakes for the bun. (like rice cakes but made with lentil flour, tapioca flour, buckwheat and quinoa). I know this looks odd. However, it was really good. I quite enjoyed the crunch from the cakes. I don’t take credit for the idea; i saw someone on Instagram use rice cakes as their bread substitute.

Won these little beauties on an Instagram giveaway. Shipped to me from FL to CA. They are soft like cake but a bit more dense like a soft-cooked sugar cookie dough. The colors and flavors are customizable.
Kept dinner light since I ate a few of those cookies. Shrimp & artichoke.

We had family over to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Hubby had all 3 grills going: chicken thighs & corn on the cob. Our cousin made chicken wings with Parmesan, Pecorino Romano cheeses and grilled, chopped elephant garlic (that’s the garlic on the grill. HUGE!)
And then there was some sweets:

This snack was tasty AF! Egg white wrap seasoned with a little Splenda and cinnamon. Stuffed and topped with fresh banana and Rx Bar Honey Cinnamon Peanut Butter
Easy way to prepare veggies is under the broiler.
I sprayed these with olive oil cooking spray, sprinkled Everything but the Bagel Sesame seasoning blend from Trader Joes and a little salt. Put under the broiler on high for 5 - 7 minutes.
Do share. I haven’t busted out the Instant Pot in awhile now and have been wondering what to try next! Looks delicious.
I just recently got mine so I’m only beginning to test it out!
I used 4lbs of chicken and doubled the recipe (but left the honey at 1 cup and it was still super sweet. Could probably use even less)
Here’s the recipe for the Orange Chicken I made a few posts back.
We really enjoyed this one too. I’m going to try both recipes again and use chicken thighs.
