Fun With Food

One of the best things about Disney

PINEAPPLE ICE CREAM. Yup. DOLE WHIPS. Yup. I remember my very first taste of the Dole Pineapple ice cream. I was lucky. I got to experience it in Hawaii at the Dole plantation. It was amazing.

And Disney has it.

And it’s amazing. So if you’re ever at Disney…get the pineapple ice cream.

Now that we’ve cleared that up…here are some of my favorite food finds across the web!

1. This. Oh man. I could eat this for breakfast everyday. And then I could eat it again for lunch. Every. Day.

2. Fried chicken alone is good. Put it on a bun and it’s better. Add some buffalo sauce and cheese and I may be the happiest woman in the world. So these Crispy Fried Chicken Sliders with Buffalo Sauce...get in my belly!

3.I could also eat sandwiches everyday. There’s just something about stuff smashed between bread that makes me happy. This nice big list of sandwiches gives me the ability to make a different sandwich everyday for at least 101 days. Time for a happy dance!

4. Speaking of happy dances. Let’s add these dumplings to things that make me happy dance. Yum.

5 These marshmallows. I’m done. Completely in heaven.

 

 

Random Selfies

I always love going through the pictures on my phone. Mostly because 90% of them, I don’t take. It’s true. Somehow, Baby Chaos has learned how to get into my password protected phone to take pictures. So I find things like this

and like this…

I swear the kid took about 50 pictures of his feet. And then…somehow…he added a different filter to his feet pictures so they’re all different colors. There’s a pink feet picture and a greenish feet picture and a black and white feet picture. I really don’t know how the kid does it. He just does.

Then there’s the times when Little Man takes my phone and I find pictures like this…

and this…

And then there’s Little Miss. The only way I know she’s hacked my phone (and I do mean hacked since she somehow figured out my password) is because I know I didn’t take the picture, yet, there it is.

She may not take pictures for me but she loves taking selfies of herself

The point is…I love finding these random pictures on my phone. They make me smile. Make me laugh. Keep me entertained. And maybe one day…will be used for embarrassment at their wedding. And they’ll only have themselves to blame 😉

 

DANGER ZONE!

I learned something this weekend….my boys are obsessed with planes. In particular…jets. Fast jets. Fast jets that are really really loud.

We ventured out to Airfest this past weekend and it was crazy. Planes of all sorts. Helicopters. There was even a boat. At Airfest. Explain that one to me. Little Man was in heaven. I don’t think there was a point when he didn’t have a huge smile on his face.

Happiest. Kid. Ever. So many planes. All with a different job. A different purpose.

And all the planes and helicopters and even the boat were awesome and cool but as awesome and cool as they were, they were no where near the awesomeness that was the main attraction at Airfest.

The Thunderbirds.

Can I tell you how insane these guys are?! INSANE! And loud. And insane. And loud. What’s crazy is how they could sneak up on you. No. Seriously. Nowhere to be seen and then BAM! There they were. Doing something insane. Like this…

I mean. C’MON! INSANE!

If you ever have a chance to go see the Thunderbirds in person…I highly…HIGHLY…recommend it. They are truly amazing. And the entire time they’re in the air, I guarantee you’ll be singing, “HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE!” I know I was.

Fit Friday

FRIDAY!

This weeks workouts were a bit different. I still love tabata but need to add more weights in my workouts. My go-to weight…the kettlebell. It is an insane workout and most moves you do with a kettlebell work more than just one muscle group. I know some kettelebell moves but needed some different muscles worked so I turned to Jillian Michaels.

 

Now let me say this…I was always one to be all like, “Oh that 30 day shred can’t be that great. Blah blah blah.” Then I found her yoga workout and loved it. So I thought I try a weighted workout of hers that I found online. The kettlebell workout that I did was this…and it was insane. She’s insane. I am now a believer that maybe her 30 day shred program is better than I initially thought.

 

Also…I’ve found yoga to be amazing. I do more of, what they call, power yoga, which takes basic yoga moves and adds reps/movements to those yoga moves which yields a better workout for me. And afterwards I feel more relaxed than I thought possible. And my muscles like me again after the week of hell I usually put them through. So yoga is definitely a regular in my workout routine and I’ve decided to do it twice a week instead of just once.

Thursday Thoughts-Let’s Talk About

1. How my legs are on fire. FIRE. I’ve been focusing on my legs during my workout this week and needless to say, they’re pretty mad at me for it.

2. There’s an airshow on base this weekend and the THUNDERBIRDS WILL BE THERE! I’m so excited that I may have purchased aviators for my littlest…

DANGER ZONE!

3. This beer…

does indeed taste like sticky toffee pudding. Or at least it tastes like what I think sticky toffee pudding would taste like. And you would think that could never work but somehow it does. Riddle me that.

4. I think I’m having Disney withdrawals. I seriously just want to go back. It truly is the most magical place on earth.

5. I’ve never been a dress person but for some odd reason….lately….I want to live in dresses meaning that I need to buy all the dresses. Because…why not?!

6. I play the new Luke Bryan spring break 6 on repeat. It makes me want to go the Caribbean or the keys and neither of those is a bad idea.

7. Speaking of music…have y’all seen Frozen yet?! I’m pretty sure I told you to do so immediately so if you haven’t…I’m gonna need you to go watch it. So so good. My kids are obsessed.

8. One of my absolute favorite little dudes (beside my boys) is turning 2. 2?!?!?! I remember when he was born. So soft and squishy. Happy early bday L!!!!

9. Speaking of birthdays…I cannot believe my daughter will be 8 this summer. Hold me.
