Happy Feet

IMG_20120406_190835Blog

I had a glorious day at the bakery – 12 hours of fun work! But BOY are my legs exhausted. I really do feel as though I ran double digit miles. I came home and collapsed on the porch couch with my feet as high as possible.

They felt much, much better after a rest…until I had to stand up again! And wheeee, they get to do it again tomorrow : )

Sweet Karen wins Mother-In-Law of the Year for bringing us dinner tonight!

She made the taco salad recipe she made for Matt as a child. It’s very similar to the taco salads we make here except her version has a “fancy” meat sauce instead of just simple browned.

IMG_8637-2Blog

Recipe: Karen browns [grass-fed!] beef in a skillet and then drains it before adding 1/2 a cup of green peppers, 1 drained can of kidney beans, half a cup of any kind of BBQ sauce (the secret ingredient!),  a half tsp of cumin, cayenne to taste, and 8 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese. All stirred together and headed until it’s kind of a nacho-cheese chili.

It’s served over iceberg lettuce and blue corn chips with fresh chopped tomatoes, homemade guacamole (avocado, salt, lime juice mash) and greek yogurt!

Water in my wine glass!

Having not slept well last night, I am SO tired. I think a hot shower and my down comforter sound heavenly right about now!

    That was so nice of Karen. And a good thing that you didn’t have to prepare a dinner after your long day. Hope you can rest up and be ready for tomorrow 🙂 Btw, my mom told me that she ordered a honey bunny from our local Great Harvest for Easter dinner! I’m so excited!

    I’m 25 weeks pregnant today and work in retail so I really know how you feel about tired feet/legs. For me its not so much the moving around that tires my body out, its the standing still for long periods of time. Hips, lower back, legs, feet, oof! All unhappy after that 🙂

    Taco salad is one of my favorite meals. I love that you can make it pretty healthy but it’s in no way bland health food.

    Just an FYI – take a bath or soak your feet using Epsom Salt – it helps soooo much with tired feet or muscles. I recently “rediscovered” it and it truly helps! Using it with a jet stream or whirlpool is even better.

      I was dying to but I didn’t have any in the house!! (I used to do public relations for the Epsom Salt Council so I’m a big fan!)

    I have been using your excel spreadsheet to get “my life” back in order, which includes a menu grocery shopping list. Guess what!?! I decided I was going to make Nachos this time for something different. I am sitting here making my list, checking for cabinets for ingredients and looking for coupons. Then I said to myself, “What’s Kath doing?” (As if I was going to call you or something). And I come to this post. OMGYUM! Tell Sweet Karen, best mother-in-law award winner that she has forever changed Taco Tuesday to Taco Nacho day! I think the kids will love this and I can sneak in veggies too. Yay me! yay Kath and double Yays to Karen!

    You are THEEE FIRST R.D. who has ever made me see eating healthy can be fun and delicious. Thanks so much for making showing me the light.

    When I was pregnant and On my feet a lot doing events I wore my compression running socks. They made a world of difference and I looked awesome with my bright colors sneaking out my jeans 🙂
