Simply The Best.

As I take a bite of the creamy rich mac & cheese pasta all i can think of
is  Simply the Best.  Song by Tina Turner.  I choose this song because the words just make you feel so empowered and confident.  I feel having a healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally you are confident and empowered and you got everything.
 
We also try to make up songs at the dinner table regarding food . Sometimes it get so silly. but its all in good fun.

Wholesome Goodness

Im the type of person  that sticks to what I know and love, for us that is Kraft. In the Kraft mac & cheese isle there is so many different kinds to choose from, Ill admit Ill try a new brand probably of the pasta shapes  and yet ill still but kraft in case they dont like it.  It is truly a wholesome goodness kind of meal. The creamy cheese pasta just melts in your mouth with every bite.
 
 
 
 
 




The preparation of the mac & cheese couldnt be any easier. I boil the water, add the pasta, when done, drain the pasta, put back in the pot add milk and the cheese sauce on low heat mix it up. It tastes just as wonderful as always, sometimes I add bacon to it. I also like different kinds of pasta the spiral are a big hit in my family. When I serve it to my family I feel like Ive given my family a home cooked dish.  and well they love it. they always have.

Death of a Tradition


Today is a sad day, Kraft Mac & Cheese is no longer with us,  Velvetta shells & cheese is responsible for the demise of Kraft.  Kraft was working on a new all ready home cooked Mac & cheese  dinner that all that had to be done was put into the oven. It was a frozen tray family sized.  Velvetta somehow got wind of it and decided to elimiate the competition. In my opinion Kraft Mac&Cheese is irreplaceable but If i had to, I would just use my very own pasta and add my own cheese to it.
 
 
Kraft has been a staple of our everyday life, I grew up with it, so has my children. Kraft has spent time with  dairy farmers around the world, learning  about new  cheeses.  I think every person in america would miss Kraft Mac & cheese the most. Its a tradition

My Philosophy


Things that I have done to change my philosophy on health & wellness is start taking vtamins and trying to excerize and eat properly.
 
I've stopped buying fast food for myself and my children. It was just too unhealthy for them and myself and also costly. But I do see a change in all of us for it.
 
 
Zumba for xbox360,  treadmill, kids, home cooked foods,
 
Zumba has become a part of my everyday routine it gives me the adrenalin I need to get through the day.
 
 
We've stopped watching TV  while doing homework, and or work that I do at home. I felt the kids took too long to finish their homework and me my work online. It was a distraction and wasted time, so we could go and do other things as a family. My kids didn't like it, but like I say to them, I make the rules, they have adjusted with it especially since spring weather has finally arrived.
Treadmill for those days I cant walk, I feel worse when I cant take a brisk walk outdoors.
 
My kids well they keep me busy running from place to place and I enjoy walking with them to and from school, gives me time to think.
 
Family Dinner with home cooked food. Having family time while having dinner is most important, we catch up with each others day and find out the going on in each others life. A healthy home cooked meal is best part of it. I always try to make a favorite of one of my children's once a week, they all take turns.
