In the crockpot and oven

I am sitting here eating my new favorite snack which consists of a cut up apple, cut up banana mixed in with some fat free vanilla yogurt! SUCH a good afternoon or evening snack!

In the crockpot I currently have a chuck roast. What are you doing with that, you may ask? Well here it is!

Shredded Beef Filling


I am not 100% sure what I will do with this, but I will definitely be putting some in the freezer to pull out when we want it!

And in the oven...MUFFINS! These muffins are HEALTHY even!

Cinnamon Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins

Ingredients

1 cup old fashion rolled oats (not instant)
1 cup non-fat milk (I didn't have it so I used vanilla soy)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (trying to replace sugar with agave nectar so I used 1/3 cup agave)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt (I went without the salt, we will see how this turns out!)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. sugar
raisins or dried cranberries or nuts (optional)


Directions
Soak the oats in milk for about one hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Spray muffin pan with cooking spray.
Combine the oat mixture with the applesauce and egg whites, and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl measure and whisk the dry ingredients together.
Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined. Add nuts or raisins if desired.
Do not over mix the batter or the muffins will be tough. Spoon muffin mixture into muffin pan.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar and top each muffin with some of the mixture. (I omitted this to save on calories!)
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.
Remove from pan, cool and enjoy.

I am going to keep 6 out and freeze the other 6 for when we are in a hurry and need something quick!

WOW, it has been a LONG time!

Ok, my friend Carly recently started blogging about recipes and got me motivated on a couple different levels...

1) Blogging again
2) Baking and cooking more from scratch!

With that said, I am going to change the direction of this blog just a little bit. I will still be posting pics of the kids, when I get a chance and letting you know what is going on with us, but I am also going to let you all know what new things I am baking!

Hope you all enjoy :)

Kamdin rolling over

Here is a quick 40 second video of Kamdin rolling over...he is FINALLY rolling from tummy to back consistantly!

What is up with the Millers...

Not a whole lot, which is why I haven't posted anything :)

It has been SO hot here lately that I haven't felt like doing anything, but sit still. Like I can just sit still with a 3 year old and a 6 month old, YES, that is right Kamdin is now 6 months old! I need to take some 6 month pictures of that little man. At 6 months old Harlee was sitting up on her own (Kamdin is not) so I got some cute ones of her...I don't really want to take more laying down pics of him. I should prop him up or something, hmm???

Took the kids to the fair. It was 101 degrees outside, kindof crazy! It is raining here now, which is REALLY nice and is cooling things off FINALLY. Our house might be below 80 tomorrow, WOW that would feel great!

Ok, enough complaining about the heat. I will add a couple pictures...

LAZY

Ok, I think LAZY sums it all up. There has been a bit of busy-ness in there too, but mainly laziness is why I haven't posted in a couple months.

I am hoping to get back into blogging and keep up with it. Right now I am typing funny because I burned my finger on some hot glue, blah!

Here are a couple recent pics of the kids and a link to a video of Kamdin...

My version of "professional" pictures

I decided that I don't NEED to take the kiddos into get professional pictures taken when I have a camera that is capable of taking good pictures so here are some I took yesterday...

Kamdin-1 month old

Harlee-3 years old (almost)

A couple of them together

Just Having Fun With My Camera

Here are some more pictures that I have taken...

I REALLY wish she would have let me do her hair. Maybe tomorrow I can get a cute one of the 2 of them...they are both getting baths so I have a chance, lol!
TOTALLY LOVE this picture!!! He is 1 month old here...he turned 1 month this past Sunday.

Everything is going pretty good here. I am amazed that I am not more crabby than I am with as little sleep as I am getting, but little sleep comes with a newborn! I just LOVE this little boy SO much! It is SO awesome having a girl and a boy! FUN FUN FUN!

Well, until next time I get a picture I LOVE!!! (hopefully tomorrow of the 2 of them together!)
