I've been MIA

So much has happened. I've been stressed, tired and borderline going crazy. I'm exagerating but still...busy. 

The month of October was CRAZY to say the least. At work we let a girl go. Hired a new girl. Let her go. Then let another girl go. Yeah...that happened. We have one girl on maternity leave and won't be back till mid November. We have hired two girls. I feel they are going to work out. I hope they do. I like them both. 

Remember school? Yeah...I haven't been in 3 wks. At work we are short staffed and I've been closing and training. I haven't made it to school. I feel really bad about that. 

I notice when I'm tired or stressed my right eye twitches. It's sort of become a joke. It's not funny :( lol

Cleo we had her for 9 years (she was 11) passed away this Monday. We had to put her down. My heart was broken. She had cancer in her jaw and tumors in her chest. She lived a great life but it still hurts. 
We knew she was getting up there in age and we always said we were gonna get a friend for Poe. Poe is our 2yr old yorkie. We got Stella, another boston. We love her already. I think everything happens for a reason. Poe is sad. She goes looking for Cleo. It breaks my heart. We got Stella the beginning of October. She'll be two months November 14. 
I'm glad now that she is getting bigger Poe is playing w her. They are friends. Sisters. I love it. 
Cleo would boo up w her too. I'm happy they liked each other too before she passed. 
My life is finally getting back to normal. My eye isn't twitch as much and I'm hopeful that work will get back to "normal". I just wanted to keep y'all updated.

Jackfruit "beef" Stew

  SATURDAY WITH MY PARENTS! Pokey went fishing and I went grocery shopping. I love to hang out with my family. I love them with my entire heart. I called my mom and asked her if she wanted to join me while I picked up a few things from the store. Of course, she said yes. When I get to my parents she says my dad wants tacos from Cristobal. I'm down because they really have great tacos. I got beans and nopales (cactus) Look how cute my parents are. 43 years in February.  I love that they show love to each other.  We ended up going to HEB and I didn't grab much but I got some acorn squash and some okra.  It was a cold Saturday and I know him being on the water plus the wind I know he would appreciate a warm meal when he came home. My mom in law bought us a Ninja Foodi and I have been intimidated by it for almost a year. This is probably the 4th time I have used it. I had one of those meal cheaters, it was beef stew one where you add meat and some veggies.  I added ...

Movie Night:Hungry for Change

Last night we watched Hungry for Change. I love docs. I love docs about food! For me it helps me keep on track with what I'm doing as far as food. Sometimes I think I miss meat but I really don't. I try my hardest not to have processed food in our house. I'm glad Pokey (Husband) is on board. He will eat what ever I make. Last night I wanted Italian. I made some "pasta" I used yam noodles. So good. So lo in carbs it's great. I used bell pepper, mushrooms, onions, garlic and Italian spices. For our personal pizzas I used whole wheat high fiber lo carb tortillas. I love thin crust pizza so for my it was a no brainer. I loaded them w the same veggies I used for my sauce. I used "meatless" pepperoni and dairy free cheese. They were delish!!!

Gnocchi and Sauce

Let me start by saying I just wanted peppers and onions and wants a taco. Pokey comes in the kitchen and wanted gnocchi. (Gross) I just can't get behind eating a ball of dough. We really debated in the store behind it. I did not want him to buy it. However I let him slide because it was whole wheat and not enriched. Anywho...  1 bell pepper 1 poblano 1 onion  1 case of mushrooms 3 small yellow an orange peppers.  When he said he wanted gnocchi I added 3 tomatoes and Italian seasoning and garlic (1tsp) When I turned around to text w my sister in law he added... Champagne and Cavendar's Greek seasoning.  He threw in a little balsamic vinegar. I didn't fight him. He knows what he wants. I was no longer getting my tacos "/ Notice the pic above w veggies in a bowl? I kept those on the side while I put the veggies in the pan in the blender then added the remainder veggies back into the pan then simmered everything together. Now I added a little bit of olive oil and tomato ...
