<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Homemade Ranch Dressing</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWyhHrNP_Q15Ut0UHA1MWkv7mhDarQaZxd2H1xhG35_exTsDkreABLaMe90b7Iq3JZinCsu2m5krcf27KvLrexSXV1nz_srb6SR-WrDT-HkfRKY-QqZjbfNBcNxjD0dnrz5IErgyplq8pE/s400/Image-1.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For those of you unfamiliar with the importance of Ranch Dressing in the Midwest, let me fill you in. OBSESSED, a lot of people are totally obsessed with this salad dressing and use it on a plethora of foods besides salad, like pizza, vegetables, chips, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, wings, french fries, chicken... etc. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are two types of people, there are the 'any kind of Ranch will do' kind, and then there are the 'I only like Mazzio's Ranch' kind. The latter will also pick restaurants based on how good their Ranch is, "Oh, they have good Ranch, let's go there!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now that you get it, and I have positioned myself as an expert, when I say this is an excellent Ranch recipe, you know it's legit! It's also like super duper easy, so that's a plus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On a personal note, I fall into the picky group, I don't really care for any kind of bottled salad dressing at all. Sure, I buy it & consume it, but it's been because I felt like I had no other choice. Why in the world have I never considered making my own, I HAVE NO IDEA! Last week I saw an IG post of a friend that was prepping salad ingredients for the week, chopping different kinds of lettuces, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and cucumbers and bagging them in gallon zipper bags, and I had a huge light bulb go off, "I'm going to do that too and find a recipe for some awesome salad dressing!". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next day searched for a recipe, then purchased the following & prepped it:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Romaine Lettuce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Iceberg Lettuce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Leafy Green Lettuce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cherry Tomatoes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Green Onions</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shredded Carrots</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cucumbers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ranch Ingredients</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also bought shredded sharp cheddar, high quality bacon pieces, and croutons. You guys, this is like the Midwest comfort food salad, so good!!! We ate a salad before dinner, as dinner, or as lunch for the next 5 days. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was able to purchase a quart of buttermilk instead of a half gallon (did you know that it's a low-fat milk!?), and went with Hellman's Mayo with Olive Oil (because it sounds healthier, ha) and I've seen several recipes that call specifically for this brand, also two packets of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix. Buy two because you will have enough buttermilk to make a second batch before the milk goes bad. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I found this recipe online, it was a screenshot image and was labeled Texas Roadhouse Ranch Dressing, not sure if it tastes like theirs or not but it most certainly tastes a whole lot better than any bottle on the shelf! Let me know how you like it and please share your favorite salad dressing recipes with me! I AM HOOKED on making my own!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(For those of you counting WW Points Plus, 1/4 Cup is 5 points.)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Troy's sister "Aunt Jen" makes this every time she comes to town, and we all love it (except for Phoebe, she's crazy). And the best part is, it microwaves beautifully, so you can make it, and then reheat it for breakfast or lunch for the next couple of days. Party of six here and we can finish it off in one setting! It serves 8-12, so it's perfect for a large family or a brunch party too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can totally get creative with this, you can add more veggies or jalapenos, do bacon or ham instead of sausage, do spinach, roasted red peppers and feta, or even do more whites and less whole eggs. Or use whatever you have in the fridge!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is my husbands all-time most requested family get together dessert! His Aunt Wilma made it when he was young, and he's asked his Mom to bring it to almost every holiday meal for as long as I can remember. I've been asking for the recipe for years, and I finally got it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've had lots of other Oreo desserts that look the same, but none are quite as light and fluffy as this one. And, surprisingly it's not too sweet, it's just right. It is really good, I mean, like so good that it would be impossible to just take a bite. Impossible. Consider that a dare!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are only 4 ingredients, pretty simple, but don't skip on using the real whipping cream, the extra step is worth it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I found this recipe when I was teaching Culinary Arts several years ago, but I have NO IDEA where I got it! It's labeled Paradise Bakery and Cafe Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe, and I'm not sure if it really is their recipe, but I know it's a darn good recipe, and it's worth saving. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you are a "the more chocolate the better" kind of person, you will love this! My husband isn't a fan of semi-sweet chocolate (double eye roll), so this is not his favorite. But, I say BRING ON THE DARK CHOCOLATE!!! I find this recipe a little saltier than most recipes, which I like, but feel free to cut down on the salt if you don't. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The recipe makes a good 4 dozen cookies if you use a small portion scoop (about 1-/14" balls of dough). They also freeze really well, you can scoop them onto a sheet pan covered in wax paper and freeze them for 30 minutes, then dump them in a zip lock, and bake however many you want, when you want. Just say no to grocery store cookie dough (<span style="background-color: yellow;">JK</span>, but you could totally make a couple batches of these and they would last a while).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm going to be homeschooling all three of my girls in the Fall, and my eldest daughter isn't quite on board. I am trying to make lots of plans for her to stay busy and one of them is adding an extra-curricular course in nutrition and cooking. We went shopping last weekend and let her pick out a basic set of her own cooking supplies. She got a nice saute pan, measuring utensils, mixing bowls, and cooking utensils. I let her put them to use this week and make these cookies all on her own. She absolutely loves to cook, she's also very interested in nutrition, I think we are both going to enjoy her course this Fall. I spent a few years teaching safety and sanitation, knife skills, and entry level cooking, it should be like riding a bike!</span><br />

Cooking Directions<br />
<ol class="instructions">
<li class="instruction">
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. I used my stand mixer, if you don't have one, use a hand mixer to cream the butter and sugars. Add in the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Then stir in the chocolate chips. Use a small portion scoop if you have one, if not, spoon rounded teaspoons onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 9 minutes. They will look raw in the middle, leave them on the sheet pan for 5-10 minutes to finish cooking as they cool.</li>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I was pregnant with my first baby, Penelope, we moved from Dallas to Tulsa and rented a condo until she was 9 months old.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I was pregnant with my second, Phoebe, Penelope was still an infant and I was working full time until I was put on bed rest around 5 months. That left zero time to do a nursery... I had a total freak out sad moment a few weeks before she was born and threw together a plan for her room, which consisted of a bedroom in a bag by Cocalo, it was super cute, probably the best room in the house at that point. But, it was still wasn't well thought out, it was just as nice as I could make it stuck laying down on my sofa 24 hours a day (and this was before you could buy everything amazing online).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I found out we were having our 4th girl, I INSISTED on doing a nursery even if I didn't have room to put her in! We turned our office/playroom into a room for our sweet little baby Scarlett, and I did it exactly like I wanted. No bed in bag, no cheesy themes, just pretty. Our budget was pretty much non-existent, so I had to get creative. I did things in little bits at a time, used a lot of stuff I already had, and shopped for treasures/steals. I absolutely adore this room, and it's as sweet as she is!</span><br />

If you are in the Tulsa area, I highly recommend <a href="http://www.laurenpaullphotography.com/" target="_blank">Lauren Paull Photography</a> for hospital birth photos (will save that for another post), and newborn photos. She does a fabulous job with the more traditional baby poses, but I adore her lifestyle photography!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have been making this bread at home regularly for the last year or so. We always eat half the loaf as soon as it comes out, and the rest we cut up for sandwiches and toast. I try to go as organic as I can, but sometimes I just can't get myself to pay two to four times as much for the organic wheat. But, the honey & olive oil are just a pinch more, if that. I will say that mixing the bread flour, which is more finely ground, with the whole wheat flour, makes for a great texture. You can sub regular flour, or use all wheat. Mix it up, see which you like best and let me know!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pour the hot water, yeast, and honey into your bread machine and let it sit for 5 minutes, until it gets bubbly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Add in the flours, flax seed, and salt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Turn the machine to the French Bread setting and let it start mixing the ingredients. Slowly pour in the olive oil. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Take it out as soon as the cooling function completes, so that moisture doesn't build up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Troy and I decided recently we wanted to start making our own bread. While we both try to cut back on processed flour products as much as possible, our girls do not, and I have major guilt every time I buy the cheap non-organic bread. If the bread doesn't mold, it's probably got some toxic chemicals in it, or at least that's what I tell myself. Organic bread for a family of 6 can get pricey, it practically takes a whole loaf for us all to have a sandwich... surly making our own bread will be better for all of us, and more cost effective... surly. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I made my second loaf this morning, and it turned out AMAZING! I plan on sharing my bread making adventures via my blog, so that A- I have the recipes saved, and B- you can try them too!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have the bread machine that my parents used when I was young, it's great quality, I'm not sure they make them like they used to (from what I've read). This recipe is SO SIMPLE, I plan on making some tweaks to make it healthier, but I used what I had on hand to get started. If you have a bread machine, I highly suggest you try this recipe. It only takes about 5 minutes to prep, then the machine does all the work!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made the most darling, super easy Christmas skirts for my girls this year! These are easy enough for beginners, and fast enough to make multiple (for the mom's of multiple girls, making a boat load of the same thing, if they take a long time, can be a drag).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">T</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">he measurements fit a 5 to 7 year old, but can easily be adjusted by adding or subtracting to the length and/or width. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the width, I doubled my daughters waist measurement, then divided it by 2, and cut 2, a front and back. The length can be adjusted to your personal preference. These would be cute with up to a 2" wide elastic! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For these, I used cotton flannels and a woven plaid, but you can get creative, these can be made in a dressier a fabric like taffeta, or a more casual with a solid cotton or cotton print.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had 7 browned bananas that were begging to be used in a batch of homemade banana bread. I dug through my Mom's recipe box and found this recipe. It was simple and fantastic, so I'm documenting it and sharing it! (I added vanilla and switched out pecans for walnuts.)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Styled Bar Cart on a Budget</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnLCkIFQWjE57Ao1zVsXy2K3EZTx9AsHe6Ex_bAg-1cbbaWzTu6CAtzRcmltH2E_PWbbScDYx8pKTPhR1GJc2lSYVt5sMixG5CIL8j_IxbEwZSvnQo0INkkq5Rol858EDvoxS7WUuC07ox/s1600/Image-1+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnLCkIFQWjE57Ao1zVsXy2K3EZTx9AsHe6Ex_bAg-1cbbaWzTu6CAtzRcmltH2E_PWbbScDYx8pKTPhR1GJc2lSYVt5sMixG5CIL8j_IxbEwZSvnQo0INkkq5Rol858EDvoxS7WUuC07ox/s400/Image-1+%25281%2529.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the shiny, shimmery, and reflective surfaces of a bar cart just make me happy. It's often less about functionality, and more about style. I mean how often are you really using a bar cart!? While I'm sure they get used occasionally, and probably more often in kid-less homes, they sure are sparkly!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have a small empty wall in my breakfast nook area, connected to my great room, and thought it was the perfect spot for a bar cart, something not made of wood, I've got too much wood in my house right now, I need some more surface variation! I did some online shopping and found exactly what I wanted, but it wasn't going to be in the budget anytime soon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A couple weeks later, I was browsing through Tuesday Morning (currently my favorite store), and ran across this gold, mirrored tray table, for $49, SOLD! I shopped around for a few accessories to top it, I got a glass apothecary jar to hold paper straws for about $15, a small black and white ceramic bowl for lemons or corks, for less than $4, a white ceramic candle holder to hold bar tools, for about $7, and some fun printed cocktail recipe napkins in the clearance section for less than $2. I spent about $77 and had enough stuff make my little tray table look like a styled bar cart!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I raided our sparse liquor cabinet, and pulled out a few random, possibly empty bottles, that had a variation in color and shape. Found a set of glasses in my parents old bar cabinet, a set of glass coasters, bar tools, and a couple cocktail recipe books I had been gifted years ago. All of these old items were hidden in my pantry and cabinets, and now placed together with a few new items to tie them together, look brand new! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Use what you've already got!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was how my Mom made iced tea, and it always tasted perfect. In between Pepsi's she would always have a glass of unsweetened iced tea. She had HUGE sweet tooth, I'm surprised she wasn't a sweet tea drinker! For some reason, when I was young, her glass always tasted better than my glass. I have lots of food and drink associations with memories of my Mom. I did a Beth Moore Bible study last year and she talked about how important sitting down and eating together is, and how often it is seen in the Bible. I mean, the Last Supper was pretty important, and it obliviously involved food and drinks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am pregnant with my 4th baby and had no problem steering clear of caffeine with the first 3 pregnancies, but I just can't do it this round. I have to have 1 cup of coffee or a couple cups of iced tea to have the energy to do anything! So, I've been making tea A LOT. I've tried boiling the water and adding the tea bags, and the Iced Tea Maker gadget, but this is the fastest, easiest, and most fool proof method!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I recently read an article about the safety of using the microwave to cook, and how some foods are actually healthier when microwaved versus traditional cooking methods, because they retain more nutrients, so that was my cue to use my microwave more, because health is my number one priority, well... maybe its convenience.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Amara baby food has introduced a new form of organic baby food to the Tulsa market! Reasor's has picked up their line of dried baby food, and it is unlike any other baby food out there. The unusual way it is prepared, helps it to maintain more vitamins and minerals than the standard from of cooking and canning, and the texture and flavor are nearly identical to a fresh made version. You simply open a pouch, and add breast milk, formula or water, stir, and BAM you have baby food. These will slip into a diaper bag taking up virtually no room.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had no intention of throwing a gender reveal party, but I wanted to make it a fun surprise for my 3 girls. I knew I was going to be busy with an event the Thursday evening that we got the sealed and secret gender note card, so we were going to have to do it on Friday... Since it was Friday, I thought Troy's mom was due for a trip to town, so she could participate too. Well, if she's coming then I'm sure Aunt Jen will want to come too... then my family, well I might as well invite a few neighbors, and a couple friends... and a party was born!</span></div>

I totally threw this together at the last minute, but I think it turned out pretty cute.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The highlight of my Christmas gifts this past year was my surprise Yeti tumbler from my husband. I had no idea what Yeti was at the time, and was not really excited when I opened up the package to find a large, industrial looking, silver sippy cup. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My husband is very aware that I LOVE insulated cups, I have been using the same Tervis cup for 3+ years, it looks disgusting, but it has kept my water cold longer than any other cup. I really, really like water to be ice cold, when it's near freezing, I drink a lot more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Along comes the best cup known to man... Christmas Eve night, I made an ice water in my new Yeti and sat it on my nightstand, with the hustle and bustle of Christmas day, I didn't look at the cup again till 9 PM the following evening. THERE WAS STILL ICE IN MY CUP 24 HOURS LATER. This it totally one of those silly little things that just makes my heart happy, every single day! I love this cup, I really do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the last 6 months, we have started a trend among our neighbors, friends and family, everyone has a giant Yeti tumbler now, and we use giant colored Bubba straws, and vinyl monograms to tell each others apart. Plus, they dress them up a bit! To customize my husbands, we have been sticking random stickers on it, like a mini ice chest. He has grown to have the same water cup affinity that I have, well maybe not as extreme.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can order a custom vinyl monogram on Etsy for around $3 shipped, mine is a 3 inch round. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can get a 30 ounce Yeti tumbler <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JP9ALW4/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00JP9ALW4&linkCode=as2&tag=nephs-20&linkId=73K475Q2EQYODF6J" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I'm packing for a weekend lake trip, I won't be leaving our Yeti's behind, or my broad spectrum Rodan + Fields body and facial sunscreens. I reapply the body sunscreen every few hours, it's water resistant for up to 30 minutes, and it doesn't make your skin feel greasy and gross, it feels more like a traditional lotion. I use the Reverse SPF 50 on my face, because it's the best coverage I can get for my freckle prone complexion. And, the Essentials lip balm with SPF to protect my lips. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sun protection covered, hydration covered!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love cabbage rolls, and I had all the ingredients to make them, but they sounded a little to time consuming last night. Using what I had on hand, I came up with this quicker recipe that you can cook all in one pan (bonus that you have less dishes), and then bake in a dish. Easy as pie, cabbage pie, covered in cheese, for the win!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">This is full of flavor, and the texture is great too. Not bland, not mushy. My husband thinks he doesn't like cabbage but he went for seconds and took a bowl of leftovers to work for lunch today! My 3 year old thought it tasted like ravioli... okay, whatever, as long as she eats it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made a chicken pot pie sometime in the last year and it was too sweet. I was on a mission to find one that was a little more savory and didn't break the calorie bank. Martha Stewart has done it! This version has no canned ingredients, and uses an easy unfold and pop on top phyllo dough from the freezer section. It's creamy, flavorful, and nothing short of tasty Southern comfort food. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Believe it or not, it was surprisingly easy! The most time consuming part was prepping the vegetables. The sauce didn't require a roux, that took out some of the fat, and made it a pinch easier too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made these, melt in your mouth baby back ribs a few weeks ago and have another slab in the fridge ready to be devoured. But, our air conditioner isn't working at 100 percent (it was 79 degrees in here last night), so it's too hot to heat my house up. Boo.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Any who, for some reason I felt a little intimidated by a large slab of meat, I thought ribs were man food, to be cooked by men. I was wrong, they are super easy, and not near as scary as they look. This recipe is awesome!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, these are seriously so delicious that I had to stick my name on them! I totally winged the cream cheese sauce the first time I made it, then wrote the recipe down after my first mouthwatering bite, so I wouldn't forget. These beat any restaurant enchiladas I've ever had. I used a corn/flour combo tortilla I got from Sprout's, but they would work great with a traditional flour or corn too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 375 degrees.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Season chicken breast with garlic slat, oregano, and cumin. In a medium saute pan, cook chicken and diced onions over low heat until the juices run clear. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove chicken and set aside, do not drain juices. Add chicken stock, green chilies, and cream cheese to the saute pan. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir occasionally, until the sauce starts to thicken. Stir in corn starch as for a creamier consistency. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shred the chicken and mix in 1/2 cup of jack cheese. If using corn tortillas, warm each one on a heated pan, about 10 seconds on each side (this will keep them from breaking apart when you roll them.) Add a scoop of the meat and cheese mixture to the center of each tortilla and roll them up. Line them up in a baking dish, sides touching. Pour the cream cheese sauce over the top of the enchiladas and top with remaining jack cheese.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bake for 20 minutes, then broil on high for 3 minutes to brown cheese topping.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ENJOY!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Serves:</b> 4</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 bell peppers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 pound lean ground beef or turkey</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3- 8 ounce cans tomato sauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3/4 cup water, divided</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup shredded mozzarella</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 diced onion</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup instant brown rice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspon garlic salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">salt and pepper</span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Instructions:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a stock pot full of salted water to a boil.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Season ground meat with garlic salt, and saute it with the onions in a medium saute pan, drain the grease. Add two 8 oz cans of tomato sauce, rice, and 1/2 cup water to the cooked meat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and cover until the rice has absorbed the water, and the mixture has thickened.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slice the top off the bell peppers, remove the seeds from the insides. Boil the peppers whole for 5 minutes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add 1/4 cup water and one can of tomato sauce to the bottom of a baking dish.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fill the peppers with the meat and rice mixture, top each with 1/4 cup of mozzarella, place them in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes (I used extra foil to make a tent so the foil didn't touch the tops of the peppers). Broil on high for 3 minutes to brown the cheese.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*To make them a little more 'clean', you can use lean ground turkey, and omit or reduce the amount of mozzarella. You can also use a regular brown rice, cook it first and then add it to the meat mixture, but omit the 1/2 cup of water.</span></div>
