Eat your vegetables!!!

I made these awesome green beans and the recipe was definitely a Shananigan's recipe!! Easy + 5 ingredients or less = Right up this chicks alley ;-)  All you need is about 1 pound of fresh green beans, olive oil, salt n pepper, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.

Start with washing and cutting off the ends of your beans

Drizzle olive oil over beans, just enough to coat. Sprinkle w/pinch of salt n pepper and as much garlic powder as you like. Place green beans on cookie sheet and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over them.


Bake for about 12 -15 minutes @ 400 degrees


Parmesan Roasted Green Beans :-)  They are crisp outside and tender inside.

Too much stuffs

With so much going on, I feel like everything has become so disorganized that I need an intervention!! I ran across this in Pinterest and if I can get more organized in 3 little ole weeks, I am going to be a happy camper.

Gift idea


So around Christmas, I am on Pinterest and to what did my wondering eyes should appear but this.....

 
Wha? A mini charger for your purse?  I soo need that so I promptly ordered myself & my BFF one. And then I waited, and waited, filed a claim with PayPal, waited and then guess what showed up??
 
 
 
How little and cute! And it was only....wait for it....$10.59 and free shipping!!  Of course it comes from China so you have to wait at least 3 weeks for shipping unless you want to priority ship.  It charges your camera, IPhone, IPad and most devices charged with a USB port.  After the charger is completely charged (tongue twister), the instructions say it can recharge a device 5 times before it needs to be recharged.  I haven't used mine that many times yet.  It doesn't seem to charge my phone as fast as an outlet but it charges it nonetheless.  Awesome & inexpensive gift for someone who doesn't always have access to an outlet or car charger.

Saucy

I don't know what it is but I have developed a taste for spicier food in my old age. :-) Maybe my taste buds have changed or maybe I have become saucier HAHA Anywho I have been making these roasted potatoes forever and they are divine but most importantly they are EASY.  I got the recipe from Taste of  Home (and of course I changed some stuff up).  Next to Food Network magazine, it is my favorite subscription.  LOVE it!!

Support Group for PINTEREST?



I fought it... I would ignore people... I couldn't possible take on one more 'project'...

What was I thinking?  Pinterest is the best thing since sliced bread and caller ID people!!! I pin everything from recipes to Bostons to tunafish can Tiki torches (they are really awesome).  I am definitely one of those instant gratification kind of people.  One of those "I have been on a diet for 2 days and i haven't lost 15 pounds?!?!"people.

 
WORLD’S FASTEST WORKOUT
- Burns as many calories as a 40-60 minutes run.
- Makes your body adapt and improve very quickly.
- Increases metabolism for next 36 hrs
- Takes only FOUR minutes, no excuses.

So when I saw the worlds fastest workout I was all over it. 4 mins a day that burns as many calories as a 40-60 minutes run= WINNING And 4 mins? Easy Peasy.  Anyone can do 4 mins....... Let me tell ya I was dyinnnnng after 4 mins.  I think this is an abbrevated Insanity workout.  I am going to try to stick with it and hopefully it will help my endurance.  That is if I don't make the macaroni and cheese balls I just pinned :-)

Maybe Kraft isn't the cheesiest....


So my KK was over last night for a play date with her Aunt Nannon and wanted some Mac n cheese. I didn't have any of 'the blue box' so I thought I would try homemade like my Mimmy used to make.  I took wide noodle pasta (no elbow Mac in the hizzle) put in a bowl covered with water & nuked in the microwave for 3 mins until it was al dente.  Then I added butter, a little milk & lots of cubed velveeta.  Aye Carumba it was awesome and my baby was happy :-)
