Real Talk - 9/9/18


Fresh cut and color 💜💜
Here’s being real with y’all...in this picture I look happy, normal, and healthy. 
What you don’t see is that I’m in a crohn’s flare, I slept most of the 24 hour day yesterday and am still exhausted.
 You don’t see the stomach pains, the nausea and stomach issues, the fevers and chills and so many more symptoms. You don’t see that today I had to be put on another round of steroids because the two rounds of infusions haven’t been enough yet to put me in remission.  I’m not posting this to get sympathy or attention. It’s to remind you that just because someone looks “normal” that has an autoimmune disease doesn’t mean they are, 9 times out of 10 if you ask We’ll tell you we feel great because that’s so much easier than telling the truth.
I posted this to my Facebook and Instagram, I totally believe in pampering yourself. I didn't feel like driving to get my hair done but I felt so much better afterwards and am so glad I did, its so important for you whether you have an autoimmune disease or not.

National Peanut Butter Day

In honor of National peanut butter day coming up this Sunday the 24th, I thought I would share my favorite  peanut butter recipes from the blog.  I don’t know about you, but I never need an excuse for peanut butter, BUT I do love using these National (insert whatever here) day as a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite things.  To start us off I’ll share my favorite first! This is a little generic and certainly not all about peanut butter but my favorite is definitely  Chocolate Nobake Cookies (with peanut butter of course).

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...
