only two more Thursdays 'til Turkey Day yall!

this is my highlight meal for the week:

this filling, savory meal is the Baked Penne with Sausage and Kale from FITzee Foods. the kale part immediately sparked my taste buds! whole wheat penne pasta, chicken italian sausage, and fresh kale all baked together with a dairy-free cream sauce, mushrooms, onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh herbs. i'm lovin' it.

i would just love to express my joy for the Sprout channel real quick.

my sis-in-law told me about it months ago and after the last adult joke i could stand from Sponge Bob i decided to look it up in our cable directory.

3 words. WHAT A BLESSING. Chiso has fallen head over heels in love with, well, every single show. his absolute fave is Caillou. Caillou games have mysteriously appeared on the iPad and neither Sonny nor myself put them there. and then there's Tree Fu Tom:

so even if we don't head to the park, he can still move and shake indoors! that makes me one happy fit mom. but not happy enough to clean out that file cabinet.

Chiso sings, interacts, learns, & plays SO much more so than when the TV was on Nickelodeon or Disney. the Sprout channel caters to his crowd (24 hour pre-school channel) and i have really seen a different side of him these past few weeks.

they have a fantastic, interactive website too! games, videos, and next on our agenda is printing out some of the blank coloring sheets provided of some of his favorite characters (soon as we get some more ink.) i am fond of several of the shows myself; especially The Goodnight Show :lol:. i really like that they keep some of the classic shows like Sesame Street in rotation too. ooooh the memories. i am just too happy about this and wanted to share.

parents, please check and see if your cable provider hosts this channel for your little one! if you're already a fan, which show does your little one love the most?

well good morning!

i workout for all those reasons and more, but i should have included eating lots of food!!! that's #1.

since i workout super early in the AM most days, i have been enjoying Houston's Fall weather to the fullest. Fall not only means chili and cornbread, it means warm, hearty, filling, yummy, COMFORT food in general to me! a big bowl of super creamy mac n cheese is hands down my fave (to eat in a bowl anyway) and pizza is the other

couple things though:

when dining out, go for the broth based (tomato, chicken, beef, vegetable, clear, see-through) soups vs. the creamy ones because they are usually made with milk or heavy cream.
the leanest cuts of beef include:
- eye of round roast or steak
- sirloin tip side steak
- top round roast and steak
- bottom round roast and steak
- top sirloin steak
a cup of any fruit usually is anywhere from 50-100 cals, but the sugar count is what you should keep your eye on.
