Sunrise Sausage Bake

Hello, I am Kakie, Rachael and Melissa's mommy.  I have always enjoyed cooking and recently have found a new interest in experimenting with recipes.  I'm even canning!  I made this recipe for my hubby and the guys at his work, it went over so well that they even offered to pay me to make it!  Rachael asked us to babysit her Nugget, the boy wonder, last night and I offered to make it for breakfast today.  She liked it enough that she asked me to post it here.  The recipe falls under my family legacy on recipes......looks difficult, but in fact?  Easy, easy, easy!  Enjoy! Oh, FYI, this freezes and reheats extremely well.

Stop Asking if I'm Pregnant

No, I'm not pregnant. I'm chunky.
No, I'm not pregnant. Sometimes, I get sick to my stomach
No, it's not "time" for a family addition. I don't know when it will be, but it's not up to me. 

Things My Husband Does to Piss Me Off.

Today, my husband and I went to the grocery store. I grabbed  a cart (a non car shaped one, to the chagrin of my 2y/o) and started to get set up to shop. It seems it takes me a lot of prep, HEB is very intimidating. Then, hubby asked if I brought something, something very important... something like means to pay. Whoopsy Daisy! So, he offers to go back to the truck, grab it and meet me in the store. While offering, he sets the toddler to the cart seat and places him in... BACKWARDS. Oh my God. What is wrong with people?! I said, "Why did you put him in that way?" DH says, "I figured you'd fix him." 

Cauliflower Rice

FINALLY, healthy rice!!

Now don't read the title and think this is anything like rice. It's not. The first time I made it, I was super duper disappointed. Basically, it's a loose interpretation of rice. It's spanish flavored, it's a little close to the same size and it compliments mexican style food well.

An Uphill Battle

I've been overweight most of my life. I've struggled with my weight as long as I can remember. As I've shared before, I let my struggle become an obsession which led to some dangerous and unhealthy addictions. Confessions of Former Addict: The Scale No Longer Defines Me
