Healthy Recipe Blog Hop!!

Hey, hey, hey!!! How's it goin' peeps?!!

Well, in true fashion...we're keepin' our word! We said we'd put up a Healthy Recipe Blog Hop, so here it is my friends!

Depending on the success of this Blog Hop...we'll determine if we will do more. So, what I'm getting at, dudes...is if this is something that is of interest to you...grab a healthy recipe, and link up (grab the Blog Hop code to, if you want!).

Here's a thought...not participating in Hot and Healthy, but have a great healthy recipe you want to share? Go ahead! Link it up!

First things first...we have a winner to announce!

My friends...Kasey is the winner of last week's prize (which can be seen here)!! Congrats, Kasey! Send me an email and I'll get you your cute little prize!

Okie dokie! Linky-doo time!

(And, check back later...I'm on a tight "time budget" this morning, can't get the recipe up just yet...but I will! I promise!)

This Blog Hop will remain open until Monday!

Have fun!

My healthy recipe! (Finally!! Sorry...)

Steel-cut Oatmeal...Crock-pot Style! (Adapted from MckMama's!!)

1 part steel-cut oats to 4-5 parts water (I found, for our family of 7, that 1 generous cup oats to 4 and a halfish cups water is about right...)

Put oats and water in crock-pot...add a bit of salt (approx 1/2 tsp.) and flavor with all or some of the following:

White sugar
Vanilla
Brown sugar
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Molasses

Cook on low starting late at night, in the morning you'll wake up to delicious warm oatmeal to fill your tummies! Add a little milk, a bit more brown sugar and vanilla, perhaps a little flax meal...and enjoy!

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here: Halo Braid Tutorial! Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte...
