So, I was walking the streets of Denver with a good friend, and a boy (later to be known as Cster). I decide we should eat. "What do you feel like?" my good friend ask me. "A squishy burrito" answers Cster squishing my muscleless arm.
Jump forward a few years. The good friend is now my sister-in-law and Cster and I enjoy the mountains walking to our mailbox with our 4 children Mster, Lster and Kster, and Nikster.Squishy Burritohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07023832605331135272noreply@blogger.comBlogger616125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18016245.post-10950936395503623922016-01-04T15:27:00.001-07:002016-01-04T15:27:28.094-07:00Picking your own fruit...in DECEMBER!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Some other traditions we did, but didn't record was throw water away from the house, walk around the neighborhood (also known as our basement cause it was cold outside) with a suitcase, eat crepes, and eat 12 grapes for every bell ring at Midnight. So fun...<br />

We get our cow from a farmer and it comes in butcher paper.<br />
<br />
Kster: Can kids touch raw chicken?<br />
Me: Its not chicken, its cow. Grown ups need to cut the cows.<br />
Kster: How do the cows not get frustrated when you cut their skin?<br />
Me: Because they are dead.<br />
Kster: They are dead? And they don't come back to life?<br />
Me: Yep<br />
Kster: Why do they have to die?<br />
Me: They die so that we can take off their meat. This is meat, not skin.<br />
Kster: Wow!<br />

Mster is the master planner. She plans big ideas all the time. She currently has a plan to start her own business wherein she will cook you dinner and deliver it to your house. She's still sorting out some of the details. One of her great ideas was to invite every girl she knew from age 6 to 12 to our house to make cookies and deliver them. We decided to scale it down a bit and have her invite 2 friends and have it be part of her date with Cster. </div>

Lster and I went to Manitou Springs to check out the Penny Arcade. Its not truly a penny arcade but the machines cost the same amount as they did when they first came out. So there are pinball machines for a dime and if you want to see a little bear dance through a small hole it will cost you a penny. There are little kid rides and there are games with tickets. Games with tickets are every kids crack. At least they are my kids crack. Must get more tickets. </div>

Kster and Cster went to dinner and a movie Much candy was eaten and a whole 40 minutes of the movie was watched before Lster deemed it too loud and asked to go home. No pictures were taken but still much fun occurred.</div>

These dates are a little late in getting updated as I'm was waiting for the pics from Cster. Even if we posted them in July, we still did the dates in May.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thing about our year of dates is that the kids see what each other are doing with us and then they want to do it too. So off me and Mster went to go rock climbing and we had a blast. </div>

I never thought I would but I really liked my free trial week and now I really like working out there in general.<br />
<br />
The gym this week was offering a free trial Boot Camp Week. 3 days of Boot Camp. I signed up with some friends. Tuesday I had company so I could go and Thursday the instruction dropped his motorcycle on his hand and was at the hospital so I was left with my one and only class today.<br />
<br />
It.Was.Intense.<br />
<br />
We started our warm-up with inch worms, superman push-ups and group push-ups. Then we moved into the stations section. Stations were 5 minutes each with 1 minute rest. 5 minutes doesn't seem like a long time but they were the longest 5 minute sections of my life.<br />
<br />
1. Lift a pallet over your head (with a partner) and do squats<br />
2. Plank walk while flipping over a 45lb weight (they let me have a 35lb weight so I could actually do it)<br />
3. Rope shaking in plank position<br />
4. Pallet row lifts (with partner)<br />
5 Carry a big tire (with partner) down the road and back<br />
6 Run with Sandbags<br />
<br />
Then our group of 6 people flipped a 500lb tire across the lot.<br />
<br />
Then we climbed 26 steps and on each step we had to do full range calf raises for whatever number of step it was. So, step 1, 1 calf raise. Step 2, 2 calf raises.<br />
<br />
And then we were done.<br />

Is that Risotto? Why, yes, it is and it was so, so delicious. While we were eating our tasty bowls, we all went around the table to come up with a name for the recipe. It had procutto and celery and pistachios and other delightful additions. The decision making was pretty quick when Mster came up with MVP Risotto. We thought it a great idea since it was so delicious. She thought it was a great idea because the dish had Meat, Vegetables and Pistachios. We are still laughing that we got to have a lesson on what MVP really means.</div>

Lster went first and after a few stumbles at the beginning he totally got the hang of it way fast and made it to the top over and over again. It didn't matter the difficulty of the wall, he tried and tried and tried and made it. Every. Single. Time. It was so great to see him try and not give up. I've even used that as a teaching moments this week when he's told me something is too hard. </div>

Kster never wants to be left out of the fun. So the boy who refusing to eat fish was determined to go eat Sushi with Dad since Lster did it the month before. We talked to him about it over and over again. Are you sure? Do you know what sushi is? He was DETERMINED! Cster even took him to Safeway on their way to the restaurant and showed him packaged Sushi and said. "this is what we are going to go eat. Do you still want to go?" Kster was adamant that he was going. So off they went to go eat some Sushi. Well, off they went for Cster to go eat some Sushi because once it was in front of him he wanted nothing to do with it.<br />

We, therefore, go through a lot of dry goods. I had to find a way to store my pounds and pounds of dry goodness.<br />
<br />
So, here's what I do...<br />
<br />
<b><u>What I Store?</u></b><br />
Wheat<br />
Rice<br />
Sugar<br />
Quick Oats<br />
Rolled Oats<br />
Black Beans<br />
<br />
<b><u>How I store it?</u></b><br />
<br />
1. I buy dry goods in bulk. For the most part I buy them <a href="http://providentliving.org/self-reliance/food-storage/home-storage-center-order-form?lang=eng">here.</a> There are locations in most major cities and anyone can walk in and buy stuff. Usually their hours are way shorter than a regular store so I would call first. They come in mega bags. This is an oats bag.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdckt9VYT5DGiC7hXYpc9RXEW3Ll6gzRDyx8j9eF0JO9O_gvdJihsL9-hhRdHxOlFWOppntr74Eznt2golnC9QgkcTh68HduYEtdqO2Z-17SyocADWbgqYI2OnbSAzELfXH7X-/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdckt9VYT5DGiC7hXYpc9RXEW3Ll6gzRDyx8j9eF0JO9O_gvdJihsL9-hhRdHxOlFWOppntr74Eznt2golnC9QgkcTh68HduYEtdqO2Z-17SyocADWbgqYI2OnbSAzELfXH7X-/s320/009.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>

2. I get buckets from a bakery department of my grocery store (In my area Ive found only King Soopers/Krogers will give you their buckets) They are going to be covered in shortening laden frosting so you'll have to do some major cleaning and drying out before you start to store). Another option is to buy buckets and lids (they usually are stored separately) from a hardware store like Home Depot. Just make sure their buckets are food grade. When I researched it a few years back I think Home Depots were but Lowe's weren't. But I would do your own checking because things can change quickly with different suppliers and you don't want to mess around with food safety. That's why I like the bakery buckets. They already had food in them and they are free. It is some work to clean them out for the first time but once they are clean you can reuse and refill to your hearts content.</div>

4. Cook and Bake away knowing you will always have the staples.</div>

This is really really yummy. Especially for a girl who does not like mayo. I have the amount of avocado. Delicious.<br />

<br />
I make this over and over and over again. I haven't introduced it to the kids yet and I've changed up the dressing a little bit.<br />
<br />
Dressing:<br />
1/4 cup olive oil<br />
2 tbsp of lime juice<br />
1/2 tsp cumin<br />
salt and pepper to taste.<br />

<br />
I can't tell you how much I love this oatmeal. Its so easy and so gooood and takes so little time.<br />
I make the oatmeal according to directions and then put it right in the fridge. (I read the comments and wasn't ready to die over a bowl of oatmeal). But I love the texture. Its a little chewy, which I like, I mean love. I don't feel like I'm missing out at all.<br />
<br />
I usually add some cinnamon and raisins or defrosted frozen blueberries or even fresh berries with a dash of cinnamon. I do like cinnamon and oatmeal.<br />
<br />
I cook it for 2 min in the mason jar (lid off) and dump in a bowl to stir in my add ins. My older 2 kids love them too and they are great quick breakfast before school.<br />

Oftentimes she'll just yell at you while sitting in her chair. I know she's hungry but she won't eat.<br />
<br />
Well last night we hit the jackpot of eating! Mster and Cster had their date (more info to come) and they cooked up a storm in the kitchen much to the delight of our baby foodie. She LOVED artichokes. She grabbed at the leaves and munched and munched away. We would take them away and she would lunge for the new leaf. The other surprise success was risotto. I've never seen a baby shovel food into her mouth so fast.<br />
<br />
Guess I need to start expanding my cooking repertoire.Squishy Burritohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07023832605331135272noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18016245.post-17175762904596013792013-04-14T20:09:00.003-06:002013-04-14T20:09:46.232-06:00SleepyA few nights ago Kster declared in a defeated voice, "my body is sleepy."<br />

Mster was determined to do EVERYTHING she could possibly do there. We spend a lot of time on this slide. What the picture doesn't show is that this is a very very tall slide we probably did it over a dozen times.

Kster and I headed out the next day to go play some Glogolf. Kster's done it before but couldn't remember a thing. He was a little peeved that we weren't going to the bounce house (especially when he saw the pictures of Mster the night before) but as soon as we got there he was in golfing heaven.<br />

This is Kster on his first day of preschool. He is still so young for anything formal but so desperate to go to school like his big brother and sister so when a friend suggested we do a little coop, Kster and I jumped at the idea.</div>

This is one of my family's favorite meal. Lettuce Wraps! I made a ton of it this week. I was pretty sure we would have leftovers. In the end, Lster decided to eat half of it (7 lettuce wraps) and Cster left the table hungry. I guess the boys eating us out of house and home has begun.<br />
<br />
Here is the recipe. I got it off the web over a year ago and don't know the source. I've tweaked it a bit too.<br />

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Make the special sauce by dissolving the sugar in
water in a small bowl. Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice
and sesame oil. Mix well and refrigerate this sauce until you're ready to
serve. Combine the hot water with the hot mustard and set this aside as well. Eventually
add your desired measurement of mustard and garlic chili sauce to the special
sauce mixture to pour over the wraps. </span><b><o:p></o:p></b></div>

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Bring oil to high heat in a wok or large frying
pan. Saute chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes per side or done. Remove chicken
from the pan and cool. (I cut up the chicken and just cook it cut up as I never
think ahead to make the chicken and cool it before needing it for dinner) Keep
oil in the pan, keep hot. As chicken cools mince water chestnuts and mushrooms to
about the size of small peas as well as all your other vegetables. </span><b><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -.25in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 7.45pt;">

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing the soy
sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar together in a small bowl. When chicken is
cool, mince it as the mushrooms and water chestnuts are cooking. With the pan
still on high heat, add another Tbsp of vegetable oil. Add chicken, garlic,
onions, water chestnuts and mushrooms to the pan. Add the stir fry sauce to the
pan and saute the mixture for a couple minutes then serve it in the
lettuce"cups".</span><b> </b><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">I add cooked rice to the mix at the end to make it more
filling and more of a meal than an appetizer. Top with "Special
Sauce". You won’t need all the sauce.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
