Snow Shoeing!

About two weeks ago we decided to get out and enjoy the snow. We went snow shoeing for the first time. Both kids were over excited all week waiting for Saturday to go. We rented the snow shoes for the whole family and set out. Oh, it felt so good to get out and enjoy the outdoors and try something new. Part of our plan is not just to eat healthier, but to be more active as a family. We want our kids to live a healthy, active life and we know that their good habits start with us.

At the beginning of the trail

It was a cold, crisp day but we were bundled up nice and warm. Alexander was over-the-moon excited that they had snow shoes to fit him as well. We had originally planned on pulling him in his sled because we didn't think they had shoes his size, but it was awesome that they did!

On The Trail

The trail was pretty busy with a mix of people snow shoeing and skiing. Christian loved snow shoeing but the cross country skiers peeked his curiosity. We will try skis next time around.

Just starting out on the trail.

Taking a quick photo break

Me lagging behind to get a picture of the 3 of my boys.

The kids wanted to trek through the deeper snow and sprawl and fall into the snow. Lots of fun!

Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken

Made the below recipe for chicken tonight. It was yummy! It has been a long day and I totally forgot to take pictures of the chicken, but I wanted to post the recipe so that I wouldn't loose it. Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Ingredients 1/4 c Dijon mustard 1/3 c Honey 2 tbs Light Mayo 1 tbs Steak Sauce 4 Chicken Breasts (4oz ea) Directions 1. Preheat the grill for medium heat. 2. In a shallow bowl, mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and steak sauce. Set aside a small amount of the honey mustard sauce for basting, and dip the chicken into the remaining sauce to coat. 3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill chicken over indirect heat for 18 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, or until juices run clear. Baste occasionally with the reserved sauce during the last 10 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning!

Yummy Salad

Salad can get boring so today I got creative... romaine lettuce, a little ranch mixed in with the lettuce... then shredded cheddar, raspberries, grape halves, strawberry, and just a few almonds. A nice fresh salad for a warm day. Yum!

Panini & Potatoes

Now that we`re over the Easter break it`s time to hop right back on track. Monday I really didn`t feel like cooking a real meal so I opted for sandwiches. I made Turkey-Ham-Cheddar-Avocado Panini`s. Normally we`d have potato chips or french fries on the side, but I made smashed potatoes instead that I found on the back of 'Compliments Brand Red Petites Potatoes' Roasted Smashed Greek Potatoes 2lbs red mini potatoes 1 head garlic, peeled 4 sprigs oregano 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice Toss raw potatoes together with garlic, 2 sprigs of oregano, olive oil, saltand pepper in a roasting pan. roast in a 400 degree F oven until tender, about 40 minuntes.
