<br />
Some days I feel like<b><i> SUPER</i></b> mom<br />
<br />
kids are up on time<br />
hot breakfast waiting for them<br />
house gets cleaned<br />
dinner is in the crock pot<br />
work is completed<br />
everyone gets where they need to be after school<br />
and we meet up at the end of the day to a great meal.<br />
<br />
and then there are <b><i>MOST</i></b> days<br />
<br />
House is messy<br />
laundry is piling up<br />
kids are headed in 10 different directions which means I get to spend my entire afternoon in the car<br />
and...<br />
hubby left his keys somewhere his car is not<br />
so off to work to pick him up.<br />
<br />
It's 6:00<br />
there is <i>NO</i> dinner waiting at home<br />
and we are stuck in traffic.<br />
<br />
This is when<br />
<a href="http://www.healthychoice.com/" rel="nofollow">Healthy Choice</a> comes in REAL handy.<br />
<i>{and it's even more budget friendly with the coupon}</i><br />
<br />
Honestly, we don't eat many frozen meals at all,<br />
but for nights like these, it is SO convenient.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSCwbhByguEKOftoKGTcD6pWZiXa3hrOq9JQmosNy9HtrdDg3IDit-_3f73K7CUyTnMFG8UGfxFSAHaArK_4TKjF4eAxv4InUa0odJ6-LLeWkTTFt_W6cb5i-Bvr1x4BFbJGkzTY9IMYCz/s1600/%2523healthychoices.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSCwbhByguEKOftoKGTcD6pWZiXa3hrOq9JQmosNy9HtrdDg3IDit-_3f73K7CUyTnMFG8UGfxFSAHaArK_4TKjF4eAxv4InUa0odJ6-LLeWkTTFt_W6cb5i-Bvr1x4BFbJGkzTY9IMYCz/s400/%2523healthychoices.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The kids each get a meal of their choice<br />
<i>{no whining at all}</i><br />
with a huge selection of Healthy Choice Top Chef Cafe Steamers,<br />
there truly is something for everyone.<br />
<br />
I was hoping to try the crustelss pot pie, but they were gone.<br />
I chose Chicken Marsala instead, and it was delicious.<br />
Stella decided to try the ravioli,<br />
<br />

<br />
and before I even blinked, they had disappeared.<br />
<br />
Charlie LOVED his BBQ steak SO much, he wanted one for his lunch:)<br />
<br />
We even brought home Healthy Choice Greek frozen yogurt for dessert.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Sure, stopping for fast food is "fast" as well,<br />
but not really the healthiest of choices.<br />
<br />
While the kids helped to<br />
<i>"steam"</i><br />
the meals<br />
I had time to prepare a <a href="http://www.heathersfrenchpress.com/2013/03/strawberry-and-white-balsamic.html">strawberry salad</a>.<br />
<i>{pretty much how I make sure the kids are getting their veggies}</i><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
In a matter of minutes we were sitting down to dinner<br />
<i>and dessert</i><br />
and everyone was happy.<br />

I know that I have mentioned
more than once
how much I enjoy pie.<br />
<br />
I have also mentioned
that I love pie so much I have been known to eat pie for breakfast.<br />
<br />
The problem is...<br />
I stink at pie making.<br />
<br />
Truly<br />
No matter how hard I try,<br />
I cannot seem to get my crust to look right.<br />
<br />
They always taste great,<br />
but looks...<br />
not so much<br />
<br />
So, when my son<br />
<i>LOVINGLY </i>volunteered<br />
<i>ME</i><br />
to be the pie making mom<br />
for Pi day at school,<br />
I was more than a bit worried.<br />
<br />
MIDDLE school kids can be a tough crowd!<br />
and I did not want to disappoint Charlie<br />
with strange looking pies.<br />
<br />
I knew what I had to do.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I marched straight to the frozen food section of my local market,<br />
and bought every variety they had of<br />
Marie Callender's pies.<br />
<br />
Apple Pie<br />
Cherry Berry Pie<br />
Chocolate Satin<br />
{my kids favorite}<br />
Key Lime<br />
<br />
and I love the mini size for the kids at school<br />
<br />
I even bought a pot pie for me<br />
{as a kid, these were one of my favorite meals}<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It was delicious,<br />
just how I remembered<br />
<br />
and just like a blogger<br />
Marie Callender's<br />
LOVES to hear what you think<br />
{<a href="http://clvr.li/YbnAp3">you can write a review here</a>}<br />
<br />
They even have a blog <a href="http://clvr.li/Ye3AlJ">{here}</a><br />
FULL<br />
of great craft and party ideas<br />
{they have a very creative idea for all of those pie pans}<br />
<br />
With spring break coming up<br />
I know I am going to need plenty of crafts to keep the kiddos busy:)<br />
<br />
With Marie Callender's Pies<br />
it's a win win.<br />
<br />
Charlie get's pie<br />
<i>that actually looks like pie</i><br />
for Pi day<br />
<br />
and I saved myself a LOT of time and aggravation.<br />
<br />
Some day I'll get the hang of pie making,<br />
but for now<br />
I'm thrilled that there's<br />
Marie Callender's.<br />

<br />
I know SO many people<br />
<i>many even with kids</i><br />
that don't make time for breakfast in the mornings.<br />
<br />
Before having kids, I was actually one of them,<br />
even though I could hear my mother...<br />
<br />
<i>"Heather, you know breakfast is the most important meal of the day."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Now, I couldn't imagine skipping.<br />
I LOVE breakfast,<br />
and Stella would starve if it wasn't for breakfast.<br />
<br />
She may be fussy when it comes to lunch and dinner,<br />
but NOT with breakfast.<br />
<br />
She eats it all,<br />
{well maybe not eggs}<br />
but pretty much anything else.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Even now that our schedule has gotten<br />
CRAZY<br />
with two different school drop offs,<br />
and school starting at the same time for each,<br />
we still make time for breakfast<br />
<br />
EVERY<br />
SINGLE<br />
DAY<br />
<br />
and Safeway is making it even easier to get a great start to your day<br />
with <a href="http://riseandshinewithsavings.com/" rel="nofollow">Rise and Shine with Savings</a><br />
<br />
I have been a Safeway shopper since first moving to California 17 years ago,<br />
and they always have had a great selection of breakfast items<br />
at what I feel are great everyday values.<br />
<br />
Now, when you buy 4 of selected items,<br />
{just look for the yellow tags}<br />
you save $4.<br />
<br />
It's that easy.<br />
<br />
<i><a href="https://plus.google.com/107613667398207994971/posts/PvxieC1RUTV">This</a></i> is how I stocked up on cereal, juice, Silk,<br />
of course coffee,<br />
and all the fixings for a weeks worth of great, quick and easy breakfasts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu8UYsKDhsAXy9H9foYmdnYJv238qhFJebRZ5SgIt081aKGT0FXx2ihAj9Rm_OnIugLXnA5NcI29aJ6NIZtJ7YnGs4vtHuSMmPZpr3jWJLPelEFHW7zI-im-hDavNV2d8pxa0u6-du2d_k/s1600/buy+4+save+%25244+%2540Safeway.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu8UYsKDhsAXy9H9foYmdnYJv238qhFJebRZ5SgIt081aKGT0FXx2ihAj9Rm_OnIugLXnA5NcI29aJ6NIZtJ7YnGs4vtHuSMmPZpr3jWJLPelEFHW7zI-im-hDavNV2d8pxa0u6-du2d_k/s400/buy+4+save+%25244+%2540Safeway.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I saved $4,<br />
and even better than that,<br />
I don't even have to think twice about what to fix for breakfast all week long.<br />
<br />
So you see,<br />
you can eat well,<br />
save money,<br />
and still get out the door on time.<br />

<br />
On Thursday, Charlie was hurt at school,<br />
and we got to spend the<br />
ENTIRE<br />
day at the ER waiting for stitches.<br />
<br />
All is well now,<br />
but my nerves were frazzled,<br />
so on Friday I treated myself to a shopping trip to Target and the<br />
PEOPLE Magazine Oscars Double Issue.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Adele made the cover...<br />
I LOVE that!<br />
<br />
And the always stunning Jennifer Aniston;<br />
did you see her in red?<br />
AMAZING!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I did not get the read my magazine on Friday,<br />
as I had agreed to carpool to a party for the 6th grade class,<br />
and my daughter had a friend sleeping over, which meant baking, crafts, mail polish, and a LOT of noise.<br />
<br />
My daughter read the magazine.<br />
My husband read my magazine.<br />
Even my son paged through it.<br />
I would have to wait until a quiet moment.<br />
<br />
Saturday morning,<br />
I crept into the kitchen,<br />
made my coffee,<br />
grabbed my PEOPLE,<br />
and slid out the back door onto the deck.<br />
<br />
The sun was shining,<br />
the chickens were talking,<br />
and of course my dogs hopped into my lap.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
What a great way to start my day.<br />
<br />
Of course, I LOVED every page of Oscar coverage.<br />
I thought the gowns this year were outstanding.<br />
<br />
BUT...<br />
my two favorites in this issue<br />
<br />
Jen {as in Aniston} and Justin's wedding talk<br />
{hello HUGE Friend's fan here}<br />
<br />
and<br />
The Beatles at Home<br />
<br />
the images in this piece are incredible,<br />
and as a lifelong Beatles fan,<br />
{my daughters name is Stella for this reason}<br />
I LOVED getting a glimpse at their private lives.<br />
<br />
This issue has something for everyone.<br />
<br />
Don't miss it,<br />
as it will only be available until March 18, 2013.<br />
<br />
Who cares that I made my kids wait over an hour for breakfast today:)<br />
<br />
Mom's need a time-out every now and then.<br />

will you be watching?<br />
<br />
I know I will be;<br />
in fact,<br />
I'm not sure I've ever missed one<br />
<i>{well, as far back as I can remember}</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
We've got our own little party planned,<br />
which I am SO excited about.<br />
<br />
While the party will be all about the food<br />
of course,<br />
the Oscars are all about <i>Star Style</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />

<i>and maybe a bit about the movies:)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Currently, I'm in the midst of a hair crisis.<br />
long or short<br />
I just cannot seem to decide.<br />
<br />
I cut it,<br />
hate it,<br />
grow it out,<br />
still hate it<br />
<br />
rinse<br />
repeat<br />
<br />
and while I <i>KNOW</i> I don't look like a celebrity,<br />
I LOVE tracking their hairstyles.<br />
<br />
PEOPLE Magazine is one of my favorites for hair inspiration.<br />
Not only do we get to see the celebs <i>Out on the Town </i>looking glamorous,<br />
but PEOPLE does a great job showing them au natural.<br />
<i>{those are always my favorites seeing as how I don't usually do carpool in a gown}</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I know that by hosting an Oscar party,<br />
even though it's going to be SO fun<br />
<br />
I've got games,<br />
<br />

<br />
Think you can't eat well on a budget,<br />
think again.<br />
<br />
Chicken leg quarters make it easy,<br />
and if you have a family of<br />
<i>leg lovers</i><br />
like I do,<br />
everyone is happy:)<br />
<br />
The crispy coating make you feel like you are eating<br />
fried chicken<br />
<i>{one of my childhood faves}</i><br />
without the guilt, but still with all of that great flavor<br />
and crunch.<br />

<br />
The first big trip we took with the kids<br />
<i>{besides Disney World with the WHOLE family}</i><br />
was to San Diego.<br />
<br />
I had only been there once before,<br />
and it was by far,<br />
one of the <b>BEST</b> vacations we've had.<br />
<br />
The weather is perfect<br />
<i>{always}</i><br />
the zoo is amazing<br />
the beaches are gorgeous<br />
<br />
oh, and then there are the fish tacos<br />
unbelievable<br />
<br />

<br />
They were <i>SO</i> good, that I ate fish tacos<br />
every<br />
single<br />
night<br />
for a week<br />
<br />
I LOVE fish tacos, and even though we have taco Tuesday every week<br />
<i>{seriously my kids don't EVER let me skip one}</i><br />
I never make them.<br />
<br />
It could be that they take a little bit or prep work<br />
<br />

<br />
you need to bake or grill the fish<br />
prep the veggies<br />
make the sauce<br />
not to mention all the toppings<br />
<br />
Not exactly a quick dinner for a Tuesday,<br />
but an enchilada casserole can be made ahead,<br />
and with <a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vandekamps.com&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFWnSA8oiJGApYwatKX9jxYD9vJrQ" rel="nofollow">Van de Kamps </a>whole fish fillets and <a href="http://www.birdseye.com/" rel="nofollow">Birds Eye</a> veggies<br />

<br />
the perfect meal for a busy night.<br />
<br />
Fish Enchilada Casserole<br />
1 package {10 count} corn tortillas<br />
8 van de kamps crispy fish fillets<br />
1 cup of Birds Eye frozen corn<br />
1 cup of Birds Eye frozen bell pepper strips<br />
1 jalapeno sliced {optional}<br />
1 cup of shredded cheese<br />
{I used queso fresco - but cheddar would be great also}<br />
2 cans of enchilada sauce<br />
{I used one medium and one hot}<br />
1/2 cup of sour cream<br />
1/2 cup of mayonnaise<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
preheat the oven to 350<br />
<br />
spread the medium {if using} sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9 casserole dish<br />
top with 4 of the tortillas {they will overlap}<br />
cover the tortillas with the 8 fish fillets<br />
top with the corn, peppers, and the jalapeno{if using}<br />
sprinkle on the cheese<br />
top with the remaining 6 tortillas<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
combine the other can of enchilada sauce with the sour cream and mayonnaise<br />
spread this over the tortillas<br />
<br />
bake for 45 - 55 minutes<br />
garnish with fresh cilantro and more cheese<br />

Whether you are a football fan<br />
{we DEFINITELY are}<br />
or not,<br />
Superbowl Sunday means LOTS of great food!<br />
<br />
We're kickin' it off early this year, with a pre-party breakfast party,<br />
and breakfast would not be complete without delicious coffee.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

BC<br />
{that is before children}<br />
we were a go-out-for coffee couple.<br />
<br />
Now, we are the brew at home type,<br />
and Starbucks is our favorite brand.<br />
<br />
Some people may find it a bit bold,<br />
but luckily Walmart has a fantastic selection,<br />
and there is something for every coffee lover.<br />
<br />

<i>breakfast</i> in the title makes for an easy decision.<br />
not too light and not too dark<br />
just right<br />
<br />
With citrus and fruit notes,<br />
<i>I bet you didn't know that coffee had these:)</i><br />
blueberry muffins and fresh fruit should pair extremely well.<br />
<br />
With all of the great items I picked up at Walmart<br />
<br />
{I could not pass up these football doughnuts}<br />

Of course, you need coffee to start the day right,<br />

even without food I could taste the "berry",<br />

<br />
I know that I've mentioned,<br />
on more than one occassion,<br />
how much I love pie.<br />
<br />
We have even been known to eat pie for breakfast in my house.<br />
It's fruit, and the crust counts as a grain right?<br />
Top it with whipped cream or ice cream, you even have your dairy.<br />
That's three out of the four food groups.<br />
Better than most breakfasts if you ask me:)<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, that does not mean that I make pie.<br />
You see, I stink at pie making.<br />
Sure, they are delicious,<br />
but my crust is usually a disaster.<br />
<br />
Some day I hope to perfect my crust making skills,<br />
{<em>that may take work, a lot of work}</em><br />
<em><br /></em>
until then, I will enjoy these new<br />
<br />
<a href="http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=25279&oid=9121999" rel="nofollow">Mrs. Smith's Signature Deep Dish pies</a><br />
<em>{like the classics with more to love}</em><br />
<br />
<br />
Each of the four delicious varieties comes with an icing or toppings packet,<br />
so you can create your own customized pie<br />
as unique as you are.<br />
<em>{your dinner guests will never know you didn't make it yourself}</em><br />
<br />
There's Deep Dish Pumpkin Pie with Cream Cheese icing<br />
<em>{is there anything better than cream cheese icing}</em><br />
<em><br /></em>
Deep Dish Cherry Pie with Butter Fudge Sauce<br />
<em>{amazing}</em><br />
<em><br /></em>

<br />
Deep Dish Peach Pie with Cream Cheese Icing<br />
<br />
and my all time favorite pie, hands down,<br />
Deep Dish Dutch style Apple Pie with Caramel Sauce<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.mrssmiths.com/images/img-sku-deep-dish-dutch-apple.jpg" style="height: 382px; width: 383px;" /><br />
<br />
My favorite way to enjoy this delicious apple pie ~<br />
top the pie, with vanilla ice cream<br />
drizzle on the caramel sauce<br />
whipped cream<br />
voila - the apple pie sundae<br />

Sorry I couldn't come up with a better title,<br />
but I promise,<br />
these candy filled brownie/cookies<br />
will TOTALLY make up for it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Last week was our first week back from Christmas break.<br />
Everyone had a great week, but honestly,<br />
I wasn't feeling the lunch packing.<br />
<br />
Sugared out over the holidays,<br />
I hadn't really thought of treats for the lunch boxes.<br />
<br />
My kids did NOT appreciate my oversight,<br />
not one little bit.<br />
<br />
I think I've made up for it in a BIG way this week.<br />
<br />
I stocked up on a few of my favorite Nestle items #ChooseSmart -<br />
<br />

Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies<br />
{stuffed with a candy bar}<br />
<br />
Hot Chocolate Brownie batter ~<br />
<a href="http://www.shugarysweets.com/2012/11/hot-chocolate-santa-hat-brownies">{I used this recipe from Shugary Sweets}</a><br />
Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough<br />
Nestle Assorted Miniatures {one per cookie/brownie}<br />
1/2 cup of Nestle Hot Cocoa Mix {to make the brownies}<br />
<br />
preheat the oven to 350<br />
<br />
I chose to use heart shaped molds<br />
muffin tins {lined} would be great, and<br />
they make for easy individual portions for lunch packing<br />
<br />
press the cookie dough {1 cookies worth} into the bottom of your pan<br />

<br />
I always try and feed my family meals that are not only delicious but healthy as well.<br />
<br />
Of course, with the holidays and birthdays<br />
<i>{both of my kids' birthdays are around Christmas}</i><br />
we got a little bit off track.<br />
<br />
Now that Charlie's birthday is behind us,<br />
<i>{oh my goodness I am the mother of a teenager}</i><br />
I can get back to my<br />
<br />
New Year New You<br />
goal<br />
<br />
Being a food blogger is SO much fun,<br />
and very rewarding;<br />
however, it has not been as kind to my waistline:)<br />
<br />
My plan of attack -<br />
meals that include more vegetables<br />
<i>{even if I have to sneak them in}</i><br />
no processed foods<br />
and of course great taste.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Classico caned tomatoes are a perfect fit for my New Years meal plan.<br />
<br />
<br />
They are always 100% all natural,<br />
packed fresh<br />
without any preservatives,<br />
and they taste like they are straight from the garden.<br />
<i>{not my garden though - I couldn't get anything to grow this year, unless you count weeds}</i><br />
<br />
I cook with canned tomatoes all the time.<br />
My family has a mild addiction to pasta,<br />
and there is nothing easier than making a simple sauce with canned tomatoes.<br />
It is probably the one item that I stock my pantry with the most.<br />
<i>{well, maybe flour and sugar too}</i><br />
<br />
Lately, I have been focusing on slow cooker meals.<br />
Our weeknights are very busy,<br />
and while grabbing food on the go is SO easy,<br />
it is NOT healthy.<br />
<br />
Using a slow cooker allows me to get a healthy meal on the table,<br />
even on the busiest of nights.<br />
<br />
Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore<br />
4 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts {season with salt and pepper}<br />
2 cloves of garlic {minced}<br />
1 large onion {thinly sliced}<br />
2 zucchini {sliced}<br />
8 oz mushrooms {sliced}<br />
1 can of Classico Crushed Tomatoes<br />
1 can of Classico Whole Pear Tomatoes with Fresh Basil {the whole tomatoes will break down while cooking}<br />
<br />

<br />
it's this easy - place everything in a slow cooker<br />
cook on low for 6 - 8 hours<br />
serve over whole wheat pasta {I chose capellini}<br />

<br />
<br />
Seriously, this meal took me about 15 minutes to get together, tastes amazing {you'd never guess it was easy}, and it makes me feel good when my family can sit down and enjoy a nutritious meal together - even if it is a busy Wednesday night.<br />

<br />
<br />
I try to be organized when it comes to meal preparation.<br />
<br />
I make meal plans for the week.<br />
Create a detailed shopping list.<br />
Actually shop from said list.<br />
<br />
It usually works well.<br />
With <i>my</i> lunch being the exception.<br />
<br />
I always have lunch box items for the kids.<br />
My husband often will take dinner leftovers.<br />
Then, there's me.<br />
<br />
I'm usually scrounging around, and often will not make the best choices.<br />
Unless I'm out.<br />
Then, my choice is easy.<br />
I LOVE salads.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkcURXob-TxnTi665uI_nBdvLuXd8NXaj4TkMX1i0Py8S2_phlVvJrAFvGCX-LQEApujV2Mrr_AMfXPdNjSVB1eLDmzeqTm8YwPysnGgX0l9C_qIbT-BG_Y2QFoS_1ZSuX9bzxbXYWwGyf/s1600/salads.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkcURXob-TxnTi665uI_nBdvLuXd8NXaj4TkMX1i0Py8S2_phlVvJrAFvGCX-LQEApujV2Mrr_AMfXPdNjSVB1eLDmzeqTm8YwPysnGgX0l9C_qIbT-BG_Y2QFoS_1ZSuX9bzxbXYWwGyf/s400/salads.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I realize that most people splurge when they eat out.<br />
Often ordering something that they wouldn't normally eat.<br />
<br />
I'm just the opposite.<br />
Because I don't normally stock specialty salad items,<br />
{we will usually have tomatoes, carrots, cucumber}<br />
I love getting salads.<br />
<br />
Thai Noodle<br />
Southwest Chicken<br />
Beet and Goat Cheese<br />
<br />
my favorite...<br />
Asian Chicken salad.<br />
<br />
So...I was beyond excited when I saw that lean Cuisine had a new line of salad additions.<br />
The freezer section at my local <a href="http://see.walmart.com/nestle/">Walmart</a> was stocked, and I couldn't wait to get home to try them.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
You steam the chicken and the veggies<br />
add them to your lettuce<br />
{I love spinach or arugula}<br />
top with the dressing<br />
and in the Asian - style<br />
crispy noodles {in my opinion the best part}<br />
<br />
You get a fresh from your own home<br />
<i>{in less than 5 minutes}</i><br />

<i><br /></i>
restaurant quality salad<br />
without having to leave the house,<br />
and the price is TOO good to pass up.<br />
<br />
I bought one of each variety,<br />
<i>you can check them out<a href="http://www.leancuisine.com/Products/Sublines/SaladAdditions.aspx" rel="nofollow"> here</a>,</i><br />
<br />
for the price of an average restaurant salad.<br />
<br />
You can't beat that!<br />
<br />
I was so impressed with the taste, that I know my New Years <i>healthy lifestyle </i>goal<br />
will be easy to keep.<br />
<br />
I've had a salad for lunch every day this week.<br />

and because of that , I don't feel all that guilty when I have dessert:)<br />

Mornings in my house are CRAZY,<br />
<br />
and mornings during the holidays can be even worse.<br />
<br />
<br />
ALWAYS rushing to get somewhere on time.<br />
ALWAYS looking for some lost article of clothing.<br />
ALWAYS chasing the dogs into the crate.<br />
<br />
While we ADORE holiday time,<br />
sometimes the running gets to be a bit much.<br />
<br />
This is why I NEED my coffee.<br />
If I could, I would have a coffee maker in my room upstairs.<br />

<br />
This time of year, you will ALWAYS find <i>Starbucks Holiday Blend</i> coffee in our pantry.<br />
I look forward to it ALL year.<br />
<br />
The spicy hint of cinnamon is what I love most, so much that when <i>Holiday Blend</i> is not available, I will usually brew a pot of coffee with a dash of cinnamon.<br />
<br />
I grab a cup of coffee, even before getting the kids up.<br />
My second cup is with breakfast,<br />
and what better way to "indulge" than by enjoying my coffee with a delicious cinnamon roll.<br />
<br />

<br />
The rolls looked SO good, I grabbed a few packages:)<br />
I'm hoping we have leftovers, because I have an AMAZING idea if we do.<br />
<br />
Bakery fresh, these cinnamon rolls turn an ordinary, rushed morning, into something just a bit nicer.<br />
They are not only delicious, but quick - which helps with my plan to have a more relaxed, less rushed morning.<br />

However, the carpool is that much better with my travel mug.<br />
