Since I'm On a Recipe Kick...

Here are a few fun, yummies that have been happening in the Moss household.


Cinnamon Vanilla Protein Oatmeal Pancakes:

I think pancakes are a once in a while thing and when we make them, we pack them with a ton of goodness to make them better for you. (They also don't make you feel so ick.)

1/2 c pancake mix
1 c oatmeal
1-2 spoonfuls vanilla protein powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tbsp flax seed
1-2 bananas (optional)
1/4 c berries (optional)
1 c milk or water

Prepare just like regular pancakes. If it's a special day, Isaiah will get a little syrup but they don't need it. They're very sweet on their own. They're also VERY filling. I gave Darren two the other day (he can usually throw down at ihop) and he looked at me like, "Are you putting me on a diet?" But he was totally stuffed. You can also freeze and toast later for a quick breakfast.


Killer Dave's French Toast

Ever had Killer Dave's bread from Costco? You should. It's so good and good for you. It's one of those "loaded" breads and Isaiah likes it with a little butter for breakfast. One thing Isaiah won't eat is eggs. It's so odd. I love eggs. I ate them pregnant and nursing so I figured he'd like them too (like almost everything else I eat). No such luck...so far. So I decided to make French toast in an attempt to just get him to consume them. Success!

2-4 slices Killer Dave's bread
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon

Scramble eggs and cinnamon, dip bread, and pan fry in coconut oil. Serve with fruit and cream cheese (yum!) or syrup if it's a special day. Isaiah calls these pancakes too. :)

Isaiah's Morning "Coffee"

I get asked how I usually give Isaiah his vitamins, etc. Here's his recipe while I drink my morning coffee:

1% milk
1 dropper full multi-vitamin
1 drop fluoride
1 tsp Barley Life
Small splash of vanilla creamer (optional...it masks the strong Barley flavor)

Sausage, Peppers, Zucchini, and Ricotta Crock Pot Pasta

1 package Italian sausage (cut up)
1 green pepper (sliced)
1 red pepper (sliced)
3 small zucchinis (cut up)
1 container (like 15 oz) Ricotta
3 Tbsp pesto

Throw in crock pot for 3 hrs on high. Serve with bow tie pasta. Yum!

Am I pregnant or stupid?

I've read stories about people getting the "pregnant stupids" and while I think they're hysterical, I think I've got them...bad. All the time. Every day. My guess is that because I lucked out with morning sickness (or lack of), God decided to turn me into an idiot. Case in point. Thursday afternoon, I drove all the way home from work (about 20 minutes) only to realize I forgot my work keys, which I needed to open the office the next morning. So I had to rush back to work before my co-worker left at 5 p.m. to grab them. She looked at me like I was crazy. I told her I was. Then when I got home, Darren and I were going to meet my aunt and uncle and cousins downtown for dinner. So we rushed off to dinner and as soon as we hit the busy grid of downtown, I realized, I FORGOT MY PHONE. This would be OK any other day except for the fact that 1) I was the only one that had any of their phone numbers and 2) We didn't even designate a spot to meet - we were just going to...

There Is Enough Time

When I became a new mom of two, my mom gifted me a book she read when she became a mom called 'There is Enough Time.' It was really old, an "original." It was written in the fifties is what I'm saying. I read most of it and nodded my head in a agreement a few times but mostly, it felt so irrelevant. Raising kids in the 50's was very different than it is now. But here's what I've noticed since I've been holed up with my kids for the last two weeks (yep, tonight is my 14 day mark), there is enough time. It's been forced upon us, yes. Something we Americans don't like - how dare the government tell us what to do? (gasp!) - it's like we got grounded because the neighborhood bully got us in trouble. But when all the "fun stuff" got canceled - the sports, the plays, the parties, the people - we were forced to reevaluate our days. It turns out, when you have nowhere to go there is enough time. Enough time to dance, to go on fam...
