Favorite recipes from Pinterest!

If you are a busy wife and mom like me, you are always looking for easy dinner recipes to help get some food on the table without spending hours in the kitchen. Today, I am sharing with you some of my favorite meals, most from Pinterest, that save me time and still put something good to eat on the table for my family. 

A cajun favorite and so easy! Casseroles are great for that!

Some really easy things to throw together mid week are:

Meatball subs:

I buy the meatballs below and Hawaiin sub rolls, add some sauce and a little parmesan and they are delicious. Pair it with some veggies or salad and it's a meal!

Ribs in the crockpot:

Ribs of choice with honey and seasoning...cook on low all day! SO GOOD! Make some sides and it's a meal!

I made this last night without the Dorito's! It was good :)

I make sweet and sour chicken using this and pair with rice and egg rolls

I buy the chicken and beef fajitas like this and put in crcokpot all day on low- so easy!

There's just a few of my easy weeknight meals. On Sundays and when I am off work, I will sometimes do it up a little better than that, but overall- I like to keep it simple. I have two boys to feed and they like the good stuff! Anytime I want to carb it down, I can for myself. I follow macros mostly so I can usually make any of this fit into my day. 

What are some of your go-to meals?

Friday Favs!

FRIDAY! Woo hoo! The weekend is ahead and even though it's cold and windy here in Southeast Texas, I am ready for a couple days to rest and relax. 

Today I am going to share with you a few of my favorite things- beauty wise, clothing wise, mom stuff, kid stuff..... just some things I LOVE!

Beauty:

Of course I sell Ever skincare and makeup so those are my favs! I did a whole blog post on that yesterday and here is my link, in case you missed it!

Another product that I love is:

Revel nail allows you to do an at home dip powder manicure. It takes some time to get used to the process and get better at it, but overall it is easy and I love it! This was one of my favorite manicures with it. The color options are endless! Saves time and money instead of going to the salon. 

Clothing:

I am pregnant right now so clothing options are somewhat limited. I can still wear a lot of my non-maternity shirts, but pants are a no-go. When I am not pregnant some of my go-tos for clothing are Maurices, Jane, and Zulily. I love a great deal! I recently found a new website that I am really liking!

Current Shoe LOVE- Adidas Cloudfoam. SO COMFY for my pregnant feet. They slip on and tie. They come in cute colors. 

Mom stuff & Kid Stuff

This is a harder topic! There are so many things out there for moms, babies, and kids. I am recently reminded of that when I am preparing for baby #2. 

Here are several things that made my life much easier as a mom:

You can get the APP for this. It is a life saver when it comes to having a baby. I could put in the baby's due date and then see what to expect when they go through a leap or growth spurt. It definitely kept me from feeling like I was crazy for thinking my baby was acting "different" for a few days or weeks.

This stuff is my fav! It smells SO good and you don't have to worry about harsh ingredients for you or baby!

You can sometimes find these products at Marshall's for cheaper and sometimes Target will carry them as well. I highly recommend these:

FOOD AND DRINK

Here are a few things I am really loving lately. I try to watch what I put in my body. I try to be cautious of sweets and too many carbs or processed foods.

I love these drinks- cherry limeade is my fav. They are zero calories. I don't drink them every day, but when I need a break from water all day, every day this is my go to right now.

Carb master products are sold at Kroger. I pick them up with my ClickList order. They are lower carb smoothies and yogurts. I haven't found a flavor I don't like yet. It gives me a little sweet something after lunch without loading up on sugars and calories. 

These are just a few of my favorite things...... what are some of your favorites?
