When You Cannot Possibly Eat Another TV Dinner

Sometimes my life gets crazy. I have a work deadline, and Jake's school semester just started... and I have another life saving product which no one is compensating me to promote. Kraft Fresh Takes. 

Could I buy and mix my own breadcrumbs,  spices and cheese for a fraction of the cost? Probably. But let's face it. Sometimes even that is too much work. So for days like that, I chop some chicken, dip it in egg and then throw it into a fresh take bag and shake it and bake it.

And that's how divas survive sometimes.

33:17

33:17. That was my time at my 3rd ever 5k yesterday. I was aiming for under 33 minutes but it was still almost 2 minutes off my last time so I was extremely happy!!

Jake grabbed a shot of me finishing (and looking for him, hehe) and a friend snagged a shot of a sweaty and tired me and my supportive scholar.  It was a great day!

Another kitchen tip

Whenever I make cupcakes they come out uneven. Some are tiny, some are huge, and no matter how many cupcakes the recipe claims to make, I end up with a different number.

Then I read about measuring with the ice cream scoop. Perfect measure, easy to get into the cupcake pan and MAGIC! I ended up with 12 cupcakes!!

How do people think of these things?  Ice cream scoops: making you look like you know how to make cupcakes.
