Keep It Fun And Healthy

Have you ever been stuck at the house craving some barbecue chicken but didn’t have any barbecue sauce? Well I have, so that’s why I’m sharing with you a quick and easy recipe that you can whip up really quickly so you don’t run into that problem. Even better, most of these ingredients you will already have in your pantry! Measure out all your ingredients and mix it all in one small bowl. And there you have it.

LOL So, to start things out I thought I would post a few pictures to let you know what I’ve been up too this past couple of months. We had a fun super bowl party at my sisters house, I made stuffed mushrooms and chocolate dipped strawberries. I also printed off a printable that I found off pinterest that we used to serve the food in. You can find them here. My sister, Jamie made some really cute cupcakes. I also decided to make chicken fried rice one night. This was my first time to make it without using a mix. It turned out pretty darn good. You can find it here. Next, I found an idea to make healthy chicken nuggets. I knew that was one of Kyle's f...
