***I Smell Something***

I have been craving a big ol' Egg Salad Sandwich, so this morning I got up and googled some recipes....I know I should use healthy mayo but I am not gonna today...I am going to be bad and use good ol'fashion fat mayo...
I am gonna try this recipe and thought I would share it with you. I found it on Moms who think

Satisfaction can be found in a great egg salad recipe. There is nothing more satisfying or filling than an egg salad sandwich. Sure everyone moves away from you in the lunchroom, but secretly they all want a bite.

This recipe is your basic egg salad recipe. Everyone has their own favorite additions. Some suggestions are olives, a slice of tomato, pickles, fresh or dried dill…whatever yours is, throw it in and enjoy.


***Recipe***

Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 hard-cooked eggs,chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
lettuce leaves or bread


Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, onion, salt and pepper.

2. Stir in eggs and celery. Cover and chill.

3. For each serving, spoon about 1/2 cup onto a lettuce leaf or spread on bread.


So on a differnt note while my eggs are boiling and I am typing can you believe its gonna be Easter already...I Smell the Easter Bunny.....How fast did that creep up...Are you ready? I need to get a basket and fill with some goodies for my son. He is loving the bubble gums right now. So I am thinkn its gonna be a hubba bubba Easter..:) What is going to be in your Easter Baskets this weekend???

My Big birthday is this friday, yep on Good Friday...I am gonna be 35 years old. I remember being young and thinkn my parents were so old and they were in there 30's. Bite my toungue, what was I thinking. (lol)

I hope everyone has a great Easter and a wonderful rest of the week...

So on a different subject...Last year I started working out and getting healthy and had lost 20 lbs...I was a short chubby chunk...(who loved her cold beer every night...)lol....through all that weightloss and working out and eating right I found that I love the way it makes me feel...

So to push myself I did my first 5k race with a friend and ran it in 43 min and some odd seconds...f="

I then did another one and beat my time and ran it in 37 min...I am now on a mission to beat that time come this spring...
Those of you who do not know I found out at Christmas I was pregnant and at 7 weeks found out the baby was not forming and nothing was there so I was due to have a miss carry...(its ok) I am grateful I was not 6 or 7 months along and it happened. I was only 12 weeks along when it finally ended. So to make a long story short I was such an emotiional roller coaster and my body was just tired and I did nothing...Now with all this behind me I am on a mission again to improve my body and my time in running my next 5k...My husband told me he would like to run with me my next time so we are now preparing for it...
I will for sure keep everyone posted with my weightloss as well as my diet...I look back at my so sad pre diet face and glad I finally woke up...My Before Face...This is my face after 20 weeks
and you all know my face now..:) untill I write again I hope everyone enjoys these warm sunny days and takes care of there self...Life is good even if we have to skip the cheesburger and beer every once in awhile...:)

Time Well Wasted

Have you heard that song by Kenney Chesney...Time well wasted??? It is one of my all time favorite songs and I listen to the words It makes me think of alot of times that I am so greatful for...Today is one of them...
As I have construction projects going on in my house and lots of things to do..I took the afternoon and me and my son went out to visit my grandma...
We went for a walk in the woods and down by the creek and the sound and sight of the snow melting was beautiful...The creek was full of water and we stood and listened to the quiet nature around us and the spring life that is creeping upon us...
There are buds growing on the trees...the water made a loud relaxing and very calming noise as it rolled down over the rocks and debre that was in its path...My grandma who is 81 years old talked of making snow cream in her young days...they didn't have much money at all so they would collect snow and add cream and sugar and some vanilla and that was a big thing to them...

No matter all the things I have on my to do list...It will always be there and full of things to do...My grandma and my son will not...To learn and listen today was a day that I will never forget and it will make me smile.
