My Famous Easy Enchilada's

Hi there ladies and gents, I thought that I would share mine and my family's favorite foods, and this is one of them! Its easy cheap and feeds a lot of people.

Easy Enchiladas:

 3-4 med. boneless/skinless chicken breast

2 blocks cream cheese

1 jar of MED. salsa

tortillas-you may choose those to your taste.

1 large bag of Mexican cheese. 

How to make:

Boil your chicken until completely cooked, at this point you should get your cream cheese out of fridge and bring to room temp. Start your prep table and large bowl to mix in. 

 

After this is done you should mix your cream cheese and salsa in bowl, and leave sit. (it may not mix right away but the warm chicken will help) When chicken is done lay on clean surface and  let cool till you can handle with your hands to shred the chicken. When cooled wash hands , and use a sharp knife and start cutting and shredding the chicken and put straight into bowl with other ingredients. 

-warm tortillas at this point as you are ready to role-

Use a healthy couple spoonfuls of mixture into the middle of tortilla and roll then place into a large baking pan. 

Then with the remaining mixture poor evenly over the top.

Cover the rest of that with the bag of Mexican cheese and bake at 350º Fahrenheit for around 20-25 min or until cheese is completely melted and crispy. 

And of course ENJOY!!!!!

I hope you love this as much as my family does, tweak it, play with it and let me know what you do or what your family loves and we can have a contest to get your recipe posted on The Great Letdown and Ill send you my cookie recipe-or cookies!

The BubbleBum Booster

The portable, fordable, lovable car seat booster!

Alright parents of toddlers hold on to your seats and see this amazing new booster seat for your children/toddlers.

I was looking for a new way of getting my daughter around without a bulky booster, something light and easy to travel with. That is when I came across the BubbleBum Booster Seat! They are not a US company so I was a little sad when they were not selling in the USA yet, but when I finally did get mine(as they passed the US standards of safety) I was really excited. I was first surprised on how it was packaged. I didn't expect what I got. It was so small I just couldn't believe that there was a car seat in the small bag. As soon as I took it out and opened the valve to inflate it started to take shape. I followed the directions and inflated the booster as per the instructions. That same night I got to put it to use. 

I was surprised at the durability of the booster. It held my daughter very well. Its small and easy to carry around. I love that there are hooks on the side that keep the lap belt right at the hip so if the belt would tighten, it would on the strongest part of her. BubbleBum is serious about safety so please click the link to know know more about when your child is ready for a booster. BubbleBum has passed all safety and crash testing to become what they are today. I love this Booster. Bubblebum is not only a great booster but they are a GREAT company to know, I have got to know a few of them over at BubbleBum and I cant tell you just how amazing these people are. I am proud and honored to not only try this innovative booster seat but love that I get to share it with you. Bubblebum has saved me many a times when I thought that I had the car seat for Emma or when we have other children with us and I need to run some were. At $39.99 USD its a great price for any family. There is not to much more that I can say as its just a AMAZING little booster, and truly it speaks for its self. 


Some of my favorite things about Bubblebum:
*Its small and easy to carry(my daughter drags it every were)
*inexpensive safe and reliable booster
*hooks to keep belt in place
*easy for my daughter to belt herself and get Independence
*easy to stow away!


I highly recommend any mother/father/grandparent's to get this booster for there youngster. Please do make sure that your child is ready for a booster before you put them in one :)

Joni's Journey to Motherhood Follow up...

A Desire for The Great Letdown…Follow up

Good evening, ladies. It is with a heavy heart I write this follow up note…

At nearly five weeks along, I lost another baby this morning. In the throws of physical pain all day I continually pour over the last few weeks and all I can think is “I did everything right!” I even picked up my progesterone suppositories and began using them in hopes that that would help. I prayed daily, all day…for God to work a miracle. 

As ridiculous as it may seem, alongside the pain and tears today, all I can seem to think is “I want to adopt! But how!” I will mourn this loss, and somehow, I hope and pray, be a better person and mother because of it. From this I hope to re-gather my strength to look into adoption…find out more about an interest-free loan I heard about a few months ago…and look further into the two agencies I had come across and decide which to adopt through and begin that process. I am nervous…and scarred…and hopeful, somehow.

I would appreciate any prayers, advice or knowledge you may have. I don’t know what is going to happen next and I don’t know how it is going to happen or how long it is going to take but I am ready and willing and able to be a mother, and I want that to happen.

Married Fat ** UPDATE # 1 **

As all you know I am a on mission to loose weight, not just that either but to loose, quit smoking and stop allowing myself to engorge myself with food. I didn't realize till about a month ago that food was actually a addiction to me. As a addict of many things (not drugs :))

it didn't surprise me that I allowed food to control me as anything else for a addict does. Just like a addict with their drugs and alcohol.

Needless to say it was a eye opener to me. I have allowed myself just a small portion of my weakness to tie me over (ice cream). My snacks normally include pop corn no butter and a little of that cheese powder stuff. I tend to eat more protein now as carbs have been a BIG issue for me as I LOVE LOVE LOVE pasta! Did I mention I love pasta! I know most woman will agree that throwing a noodlie mix of something is a lot easier then making a full lunch or dinner. I have got myself out of that rut. More meat and more veggies. Bless my husbands heart as I am inspired by him to as he is on a mission as well and is riding his BIKE to work that is 6 miles one way. 

On a positive note I believe that I have lost 2 pounds and actually wore a swim suit yesterday. I would post pictures if I had them but as two pounds is great its not picture worthy as I don't think you as my reader could see that. But as soon as I loose 10lbs Ill be posting pictures or when I get into my pre pregnancy with Jack jeans witch ever comes first. Well till them Ladies and Gents, I hope you have a great 4th of July and eat healthy and smart this holiday weekend we all know how great those egg and potato salads are! 

Stay STRONG. Stay on course. Eat Well. Be positive!
