Thought out gift!

My parents were returning David's travel mug back to us in the mail. While doing so they inclosed a gift. My dad is very creative so he did the wrapping and everything perdy cool. I thought I would share it as I liked how it was done. Get creative when sending gifts and such to others, it makes it fun! This was the first thing we came across when opening the package.

Fitness challenge

Our county has a Mayors' Fitness Challenge every year. I found out about it last year but we had just recently moved here so I didn't sign up. This year I looked into it and decided to join. My boys wanted to sign up too. We also got a T-shirt for the event.

Cosori Cooking

Well I've cooked some things in my new Cosori since I've gotten it. I so love using it! It does make cooking so much easier on me. I add the food, turn it on and forget about it until it beeps telling me it's done! So I can do other things and not worry about pots boiling over or burning while busy doing something else. But I must mention, I don't use it every single day with every single meal. Some meals I still make on the stove. As I cook certain meals on the stove tho I am realizing that I could of done it in the Cosori. So I'm still figuring out which of my meals I can throw in the Cosori and let it do its thing. There's a chance that eventually I just might be using it daily! 🙂 Okay, so here's a look at what I've cooked in it so far.

Comfort Winter Food

So it's winter. The time of year where most states get a beautiful white blanket of snow. And along with that beautiful vision comes the very flipping cold temperatures! My brother knows how much I love the snow! He lives in North Carolina and sends me those beautiful pictures of snow!

Here in Central Florida, East Coast, we have what I call 'Florida snow flowers'. They kinda look like snow and it's the closest I'll get to the snow look! Defiantly not the white blanket as my brothers back yard. But I still think it's pretty, in its own right. I enjoy my Florida snow flowers so much I won't mow for weeks! They bring in the bees and butterflies! I love sitting outside in chilly weather (not freezing, mind you) and watch these little creatures while enjoying a hot beverage.

Of course along with the cold weather brings warm comfort winter food.

Cooking just changed around here!

I invested in a product that will change the way I cook.....for the better! Who doesn't want that? I placed my Amazon order and waiting patiently for the 2 day shipping. (I know, tough, right?) It's always nice to finally open the front door to this....

And what's inside is even better. Or so far I think. I mean, how should I really know if I've never had or used one before. But I'm that excited! Like it's Christmas! Oh wait, this is my Christmas gift. These days I have to buy my own gifts. So I bought this! Whoot whoot!!

Lets talk food - yum!

So this post is gonna be on some of the food I made. We enjoy eating! Who doesn't?! I don't take pictures of everything I cook but might start. That way I can continue with recipes like I did in the past. These of course are based around the way we eat now - plant based and sometimes vegan. So I'll start with what I made for our Thanksgiving meal.......

August to Now Catch-up Post

Oh boy! Seems like we've been busy. But sometimes doesn't feel like it. Can't explain how I haven't been up to date on the blog! But none the less here we are. I think sometimes it's cause I really don't have anything to post and figure I'll wait. Then before I know it time has went and I have more than enough to post. Oh well, it is what it is. So Imma use this post to catch up and see how it all goes from here. Enjoy!!
