Tips Everyone Should Know

As most people are I am crazy over Pinterest. Many people ask me "Do you go back and look at what you pin?". Of course I do. I am a picky pinner. I don't belive in pinning someting I would never use, do, buy, or read. One of my boards is my "Tips" Board. I love this. Everytime someone has great advise or tips I pin it here. Some ideas are genius and some are helpful or now and later. I thought I would pass on some of my favs and there will be more to come...

Submerge your green onion ends in a glass of water and place by a sunny window. The green tips will start to grow back and you can use them again. I have tried this and it does really work. The key the sunny window. If you do not place it by the windos you greens will turn yellow.



Use your soda can tabs to extend your closet. My hangers do not fit but this is a great idea if you have hangers that do fit within the tabs.


Hydrogen Peroxide can save your dogs life. By giving your dog a small amount of hydrogen Peroxide you can induce vomiting. I did use this when our dog Cash ate a bottle of advil. We gave him a table spoon ( he is 30lbs) and waited 10 minutes. He vomited up the advil. We then gave it to him again until the vomit came out clear. Read more here before tying this. Which I wish nonone ever to have to.



Use a coaster under your honey to ensure it does not drip. We love our honey. At any time you can find 3 differnt jars of honey in our cabnet. This really does help.

Double Rainbow at Work

It is the rainy season in Seattle but the best part about rain is a rainbow!! One afternoon during a meeting at work the rain stops and out comes a double rainbow. It was so amazing the meeting stopped and everyone got up and took a picture.
This is what I love about Seattle.

Winston Goes to the Market

Winston and I took a trip to Pike Market. He was so overwelmbed with the smells but had a blast.

Breakfast for the Week - Egg Muffins

For the past 6 weeks I have been low-carb, low-sugar and I feel great and have lost 9 lbs!!! As part of the 6 week routine I have had to adjust and ensure I had food that I could eat and not give into the temptation of bagels and pizza. So I have been making egg "Muffins" for my breakfast. I make a dozen each Sunday night to last me the work week. They are so easy and you depending on what you add to them you can change it up each week. They would also be great if you were having a lot of people over for brunch for for Christmas morning.
 
Here is what you need:
 
Egg Whites
Cheese
Muffin Pan
Non-Stick Spray
Oven Pre-heated to 350

 
 
I add peppers, fozen spinach, and onions. In a skillet cook all of your items until they become tender. Besure to add any spices and seasonings you like. I add Mrs.Dash Garlic Blend. 
 
 
 
 
Remenber to spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray. Once items are cooked disperce evenly in all 12 muffin slots. Sprinkle cheese on top of the mixture.
 
 
 
 
Once all items are added fill cups with egg whites. Add Salt and Pepper at this time and stir with a spoon to mix in all ingredients.
 
 
Bake at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes depending on how you like your eggs. If you are cooking these for the week remeber you will re-heat these in the microwave for 1 minute.
 
 

Enjoy!!

Winston gets a Radish....

Tonight I got home early and decided to start dinner. As always I had two little helpers, Winston and Cash. I go to the fridge to grad the cauliflower and the onions. I'm making cauliflower mash which I am very obsessed with right now! And I like to make it with all the different colored cauliflower we are getting right now, orange, purple, green.
So I grab the items and walk to the counter to put them down, and left the door propped open ( I know mom and dad.....) because I was going back for more. Before I start my prep I go into the living room to turn the channel to Real Housewives of Miami, which I also obsessed with now. And what do I find? Winston munching down on the white radish! He must have snicked it out of the crisper when I left the door open. Needless to say he did not get to keep his spoils.
