Orlando, Florida Trip

We just got back from a vacation in Orlando, Florida. It was a great time! Sometimes you just need to get away from the everyday life to dance like no one's watching and scream like a kid on a roller coaster! We did just that!

Here are the food highlights of our trip:

This was our meal at an Italian restaurant called Bice in the Loews Portafino Resort. 


The Loews Portafino Resort. Its set up to look like Venice, Italy.

This was at Disney's Boardwalk Resort. They has a micro-brewery. Here is the flight of beers we ordered so we could try them all. One tasted like a milk shake!

The beautifully decorated cookies! Too cute to eat...


I love this idea so much I plan on using it. Oreo cookies as Mickey Mouse's ears! =)
 

This is called a "Pot of Gold"! Basically its a baileys and Irish cream with a few more additions. We sucked them down so fast! We found these at Finnegan's an Irish Pub in Universal Studios.


Bonus Picture: Here is Matt driving his NASCAR around the track at Richard Petty's Raceway Park. It was a very testosterone filled day!

Prep+Pared from Kroger - Citrus Garlic Chicken Saute

Image
The past month has included some tough moments for our family. My daughter has had three back to back ear infections. My son had a stomach virus and I've been a basket case worrying about them! Today in life we always seem busy although I'm also very firm on the belief that we make time for the things that are important in our lives. I'm sure we all have those people in our lives that always claim to be so busy but instead of getting continuously frustrated I've realized that apparently we  are not that important to them. Even with all these busy times with my own family including getting my kids well we have always made time for family and the important things. Some of my short cuts during the busy times are easy dinners. I have a few I always keep in my arsenal of grocery and pantry items. Kroger has now introduced an easy and quick option for dinner called Prep+Pared. I've received a ton of coupons in the mail for the mail order dinner subscriptions. I've l...

Flat Iron Steak with Veggie Sauté

Another yummy meal created with the help of Kroger's Prep+Pared meals. This was my husbands favorite. I felt on top of my health game making and eating this meal. The great long term advantage of making these meals are that you get to keep the recipe card that lists the ingredients and the recipe instructions which allows you to easily recreate the meal. I'm most definitely keeping this recipe and plan to make again. My kids ate the steak and the veggies (carrots and cauliflower). For this recipe I added a bit more butter to what was called for and added in some minced garlic when tossing the veggies together. Last week was tough for me when I found out about the news in Santa Fe HS. This hit too close to home and has shaken me to my core. I'm so protective of my children and cannot imagine the pain those families and affected kids are feeling right now. I do not know the answer and I think we as a community have more questions that answers. We live in a scary world o...

Prep+Pared from Kroger - Pan Seared Salmon

Image
Amazing, yummy and super easy!!! This meal prep kits was nothing short of amazing! I was very nervous going into making this meal as I have this fear of cooking fish... That I will under cook or tear up the delicate fish. I should have had more confidence in myself! This meal prep I would definitely purchase again and is totally worth the money. I did not have many of the ingredients so having it all packed together for me was super helpful! At the time of the posting Kroger is selling the Prep+Pared meals for BOGO (Buy one get one free). My first bite!! The whole meal plated! The box it came in.     All the ingredients spread out. I purchased two boxes which are each two servings. So four servings total.  The potato cake mixture. Super fresh and fragrant ingredients. The butter topping for the salmon. Sizzling salmon! Not as hard as I originally thought. Not fishy smelling at all!   Getting the potato cakes in for a little brown...
