First Post

First, about me.  I'm 31 and I am married with 2 children.  My stepdaughter is 10 and my son was just born June 19th.  I have an amazing husband and my kids are pretty cool too LOL!
I also have 2 dogs.  If they knew I didn't mention them they would be mad!
I also work full time.  Therefore, I don't have much time between working and being mom to have a hobby.
So, I decided to go with something I love! Eating :)
Since I gained 53 lbs with my pregnancy (I wasn't that thin to begin with I might add) - I've been desperately struggling to lose my baby weight.  I had a c-section so I'm blaming it on that! HA
I have started this blog not only to encourage myself to stay on track, but to share and swap recipes with other people who love cooking too!

Oh, and I don't track calories or fat.  I just try and eat healthy and exercise.  Too much structure makes me OCD over food.  Healthy eating is a lifestyle

So.. First recipe I want to share

Whole Grain Couscous with Turkey Sausage and Peppers

1 cup couscous
1/2 lbs turkey sausage rolled into meatballs
bag of frozen onions and peppers blend (I use Krogers brand)
chopped Garlic (I use minced garlic in a jar .. much easier) - 1 full teaspoon
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

I cook the turkey sausage and drain the fat
I then add in the peppers, garlic and red wine vinegar and cook until the peppers are hot
cook couscous (according to its package directions)

Voila - easy recipe that even kids eat (well, my child picked out the peppers but whose counting)
