Why are we so attracted to gimmicks?

Have you ever noticed how many gimmicks there are in life? Get rich quick. Lose weight fast. Just two of the biggest areas in life that are filled with gimmicks. Why? Two areas that most of us are not happy with are our weight/body shape and our finances. Companies play on the fact that most of us what our desires NOW. We don't want to wait, we live in a "now" world.

Meal Prep 2/22/14

Meal preppin!!! 

I got all this at the local HEB for less than $45! It's enough for 8 lunch servings, 6 breakfast servings and about 20 snacks! 

Turkey and Veggie "Meatloaf" Muffins

I. HATE. MEATLOAF. 

For real. So when a friend introduced me to "skinny meatloaf muffins", I was skeptic. But now I've been making them for years. I've made a few adjustments and this is what I have found works (and tastes!) the best. :) 

Sausage & Veggie Casserole

I've been doing a lot of meal prepping lately. I make egg muffins almost weekly and this just seemed much easier. I was able to bake it all together, then just slice pieces out (more like a quiche) and not have to worry about washing a nasty muffin pan!
