Our Florida Adventures Part 5

On our very first visit to a new church, we learned of a huge Fall Festival that they put together.  They said that last year, they had over 4,000 people show up.  WOW 4,000 people- that is impressive.  The boys really really wanted to go:)

When we arrived, they had a scavenger hunt.  It was pretty neat.  The church had all of their different ministries represented.  We had to follow the clues to each of the ministries and find the hidden object and get a stamp.  This church is huge, the amount of different ministries they offer is amazing.

Then we went outside.  They had 2 bounce houses, a huge slide, games, hot dogs, cotton candy, funnel cakes, live band and so much more.

Here are some pictures:

Huge Slide- Up they go

And only one came down- Michael chickened out and had to be escorted back down :(

Pumpkin Patch at the church- all grown at the church garden:)

The Sunset View on the way home

The boys were in shock.  You would have thought we were at a state fair with the amount of things to do, eat and see.  And it was all FREE:)  We all had fun.  The boys were wore out by the time we got home:)

Stay tuned to see what we get into next week......

Super Yummy Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

This recipe is so easy to make, super healthy and you can whip it up in no time.  I use this same recipe when I am making both the Strawberry and Blueberry Smoothies.  All my boys like them and Michael said that it wasn't bad :)  He is not much of a smoothie person.

Strawberry or Blueberry Smoothie Recipe

What you need:
Frozen strawberries or blueberries
Very ripe banana
Yogurt- I use our homemade yogurt
Milk
Handful of Spinach (raw)

I use half a 12 oz package of strawberries or blueberries.  Pour frozen berries in blender.  Unpeel and drop the banana in, if using.  I use 1 cup of yogurt.  A splash of milk if yogurt covers fruit.  If yogurt does not cover frozen fruit, then pour enough milk to cover frozen fruit.  Place raw spinach on top. Put top on blender and blend until well mixed.  I usually blend it for about a minute.  Pour in tall glass and enjoy :) 

Frozen Strawberries

1 Cup of Yogurt

Enough milk to cover fruit- no banana this time :(

Handful of Spinach

Blend :)

Enjoy :)

I have been enjoying a smoothie every day for breakfast:)  This recipe makes around 25.35 ounces of rich, thick, super yummy smoothie.  It makes enough for me to have my tall green breakfast cup full of smoothie and one of the boys can have half a green cup.

Our Florida Adventures~ Part 4

Last week was not a very good week for us.  First off, I was not feeling well.  Then what ever could go wrong did- oh boy :(

Our vacuum sucked up it's last cat hair ball.  Luckily, our home is mostly tile but we do have 5 carpeted rooms and it gave up in room 1. 

Our iron decided it was it's time also as it leaked water all over my hubby's work shirt as he was trying to iron it.

My drying rack decided it was tired of standing up and holding all of our clothes as it slowly tilted to the right and fell over.  Now it has a serious tilt and hanging clothes on it becomes a balancing act.

The mop literally fell apart while Kevin was moping the dining room- that was the first room he started it.  The sponge part broke right off the mop.  Leaving Kevin to finish scrubbing the tiles floors of 4 rooms and the hall on his hands and knees.

All this in 1 week- oh boy.  Luckily, we have an emergency fund and a Lowes gift card to be able to replace those items and go on with our normal cleaning schedule.

Living in Florida has been an adjustment and we have only been here 6 weeks.  We are thankful that the things breaking were small and not major appliances. 

I am trying hard not to pass out seeing the food prices down here.  $4 for a gallon of skim milk is outrageous.  Going to BJ's is not much better~ milk is $3.49 a gallon :( 

We are used to living in Amelia Court House, Virginia.  Land of farms and 2 stop lights.  We now live in rural Cape Coral.  No farms but lots of land and lots of stop signs.  People who have lived in Florida for some time call Cape Coral, "The land of many stop signs".  LOL :)

Also, I have noticed our short time here is that stop signs seem to be optional.  Where I am from you run a stop sign, you get pulled over and get a nice ticket.  Here no one seems to care.  I have seen a car pause and not stop at a stop sign right in front of a cop and nothing happened.  I am sure I am the crazy out of towner that actually makes a complete stop at stop signs.  I have almost been in a few accidents because of it- crazy.

Even through all the craziness, we like living here in Florida.  And getting to see my hubby every day is worth any hassle we have to go through.  I am also loving the cooler low 80 degree weather.  My dad, who lives in Virginia tells me that the weather is cold and in the 50's.

Stay tuned to see what we get into next week :)

Veggie "Lo Mein" Sketty recipe

When we were on our diet, we ate many new foods.  Some we liked and some not so much. We have taken the recipe that was part of the diet and tweaked it to our liking.  I wanted to share this very healthy and very easy dish to make that even my kids loved.

Veggie "Lo Mein" Sketty
Whole Wheat Spaghetti
Garlic
Ground Ginger
Low Sodium Soy Sauce
Broccoli
Mushrooms
Carrots- peeled and shredded
Bell Pepper- any color works great
Spinach
Any other veggies you want to throw in
A little oil

1) Cook Spaghetti, drain and set aside.
2) In skillet, place a couple tablespoons of oil and coat bottom of skillet.  Skillet should be on medium high heat.
3) Add all veggies except spinach and cook until veggies are tender.  Stir often.
4) Add spinach and cook until wilted
5) Sprinkle garlic and ginger on veggies and stir
6) Add cooked veggies to spaghetti
7) Use enough low sodium soy sauce to lightly coat the spaghetti and stir
8) Serve and enjoy

Veggies all in skillet before being added to the "sketty"- Super Yummy

The beauty of this recipe is that you can use any leftover veggies you have.  I also don't measure anything with this recipe.  We love garlic, so I put a lot of garlic in this dish and lightly sprinkle the ginger.  Plus the veggies cooking in the skillet is so pretty, all the different colors blending together to form this oh so yummy dish :)

Menu Plan for the week of 10/21/2013

How was your weekend?  Did you do anything cool and have fun with your family?  I hope so.  I  hope you were able to enjoy your weekend surrounded by the ones you love.

We didn't do anything fun and exciting last week.  I was surrounded by my guys~ the loves of my life:)  But for some reason, I lacked energy.  I was so tired all last week, didn't want to do anything or go any where.  I just didn't feel like my normal self.  Which lead to some not so well eating on my part.  Which I do believe is another reason I lacked energy and motivation.  Thanks to my unhealthy food choices, I didn't lose any weight.  And I didn't do all of my planned workouts either.  I just felt blah :(

But oh well, I am allowed to have these blah moments- right??  This week is a new week.  I feel a lot better and well rested and am making healthier food choices:)  And not so cranky:)  I am hoping to ride my bike for 30 minutes each day and to walk 2 miles each day.   Let's see how I do this week:)

Here is our menu plan for this week:

Breakfast
Strawberry smoothie- recipe coming soon
Blueberry smoothie- recipe coming soon
Homemade Yogurt with raisins and oats X2
Baked Oatmeal  with apples X2
Pancakes

Lunch
Sandwich, carrots and popcorn
Salad with homemade ranch dressing for me and hubby

Dinner
Leftovers
Lentil tacos with green beans
Veggie Rice
Homemade Mac & Cheese with green beans
Southwest Chicken with brown rice and zucchini
Spaghetti with homemade spaghetti sauce and corn
Baked Chicken with potatoes and zucchini

Snacks
Apple slices
Oranges
Tangerines
Watermelon
Popcorn

What super yummy dishes do you have planned for your family this week?  I would love to hear all about it:)

Our Florida Adventures~ Part 3

This weekend we wanted to do something different.  The boys wanted to go to the beach.  They would live at the beach if they could:)  I want to explore our new state.

So, we decided to pack the boys up for another secret exploration:)  They were so sure we were going to the beach.  I got the wrong directions, got turned all around and got lost- so not cool :(  Luckily, hubby has a smarter phone than I do.  He was able to find the location and off we went, this time in the correct direction.

Imagine the boy's faces when we pulled up, not to a shore line but to Four Mile Cove Ecological Park.  I was super excited. 

We started the trail not sure what we were going to come across.  The trail had mile markers with fascinating information.  We learned about the different wildlife, trees and some cool Florida state history.  The little ones commented that it looked like we were walking through a jungle:)

Here are some pictures I took of this cool trip of ours:

View from the pier

Nathan taking in the sights

One of the piers at this park

Looks so peaceful

Learning :)

Little lizard

Crab climbing up a tree

American White Ibis

It wasn't the beach but I did hear the boys say that they had fun and learned some interesting things.  Yay for fun and educational outings :)

Stay tuned to see where we end up next.....

Our HomeSchool Science Project :)

Nathan has been learning about the sun and how we see color.  We wrapped up this chapter with a pretty neat science experiment. 

Mention the word experiment and the boys sit nice and patient.  They love doing experiments and I love that they are learning while experimenting:)

Anyone can do it and it is pretty cool.  Want to see?  Gather the following supplies to begin your very own science experiment:

Coffee Filter
Black water based marker
small cup of rubbing alcohol
piece of paper for underneath just in case:)

Next follow the pictures and instructions and have fun:)

Fold Coffee Filter in half and draw a rainbow shape with your black marker close to the edge of the coffee filter

Fold Coffee Filter in half again

Place your folded coffee filter in the cup of rubbing alcohol and watch- be patient :)

The end results

 Pretty neat- huh??  All these neat colors from one black magic marker line and some rubbing alcohol.  Once you try it with your kids, let me know what they thought.  My boys, even the 19 year old, thought it was really cool :)  The coffee filter looks neat when it is dry and unfolded.  Yes, we still have ours.

We will have more really neat experiments that I will share with you in the near future:)

Menu Plan for the week of 10/14/2013

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend :) 

As many of you know, hubby and I have been doing the Drop 10 Diet.  The food has been very tasty.  We are enjoying the different recipes.  I am so excited~ we have been doing this diet for 2 weeks.  First week, I lost 2 pounds.  Second week, I lost 4 pounds.  Yea for 6 pounds lost :)  While I am super excited about the weight loss, we have decided not to continue with this diet due to financial reasons.  We have had to raise our grocery budget in order to purchase all these foods.  But we nearly busted our raised grocery budget in 2 weeks.  Yikes :(

We have decided to use the food we have in our freezer and pantry for our meals for the remainder of the month.  I am also going to ride my bike for 30 minutes and walk for 2 miles a day and Michael will continue to run in the morning and see if we can continue losing weight.  We shall see:)

Here is our menu plan for this week:

Breakfast
Baked Oatmeal with apples X2
Oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins
Pancakes X2
Scrambled eggs with fruit X2

Lunch
Sandwich, carrots and popcorn
Salad with homemade ranch dressing and a banana for me

Dinner
