How to Make Apples a Healthy Dinner Side

I used to think having a side dish that takes 5 minutes to make, tastes delicious and includes veggies was a pipe dream, until I found this little gem.

With it being Apple picking season I thought it was time to share my favorite easy healthy side dish.

Warm Apple-Cabbage Slaw

I'm going to make this simple for you where you only have to slice an apple.

Ingredients

1 bag cole slaw mix

1 apple, thinly sliced

1/4 cup water

cider vinegar, to taste

Yep, just cheap cole slaw mix (no mayo, it's simply the cabbage and carrots)

Directions

Place cole slaw mix, sliced apple and water in a medium skillet, heat on medium low, cover and cook until tender.

Stir in cider vinegar to taste and serve

The finished product in the pan after 5 minutes of cooking

That's a Real Baby!

Darren and I got to see our little baby this week! He/she is measuring 13 weeks and 1 day and everything looked healthy. This picture cracks me up because the baby looks like it's pouting because we woke it up. We did though, the tech was pushing on my belly like I do when I'm trying to get into pair of jeans that are too small! Baby Hawk wouldn't move! Enter the Kashi cereal bar. I hadn't eaten in nearly 4 hours (the appointment was VERY long) so I ate my Kashi bar that I always keep in my purse for ultrasound emergencies. BOOM, baby Hawk was wiggling and sucking and even looked like he/she was sucking it's thumb! Yes, this is indeed my baby, I go nuts for food too! I do think the profile looks like Darren though. Darren makes this cute pouty face when he's being funny. So, the mystery is solved, this is Darren's baby. Whew, we were wondering. I'm totally kidding people! This picture is sort of creepy to me but I must share my 3-D picture. I...

From Doer to Leader, 5 Tips to Make the Transition

You did it! You got the promotion and now manage a team. It doesn't matter if it's a team of 1 or 100 your skill set must shift from doer to leader. While many a doer get promoted, few take on the actual characteristics of a leader. Instead they stay in doer mode causing frustration, resentment and turnover in their organization. This is what I refer to as "death by doer." Killing all hope, creativity and productivity of a team. Don't become the grim reaper of your team. Instead adopt these simple behaviors to ignite passion in your group and share your doer gifts. Stop doing and starting teaching Why were you such a successful doer? Because you thought differently than your peers. It's time to share that thinking with your team. As a leader it's your job to teach your team how to think, not what to think. Many a leader get caught up in micromanaging tasks. They believe there is only one way to accomplish a task and it's theirs. This is the u...

To Stella

I thought it would be fun to write a letter to you before I met you. We could read it together later and laugh about how clueless I was about you! Dear Stella, It's Christmas 2011 and I honestly haven't thought at all about the holiday this year. All I can think about is March, when I get to meet you for the first time. Your Dad and I went to the hospital this week to check out where you would be born! I thought for sure going to the hospital would make me anxious but instead it made me incredibly excited. What a gift it is to bring someone into the world and because of you I get to experience that. You have no idea how much you were prayed for, wanted, hoped for, for so many years. I always knew I wanted to be a mother, even back in high school when I worked in a toy store and joked about getting my tubes tied. :-) But, when I found out about YOU I couldn't have been happier. I remember standing in the bathroom completely convinced that I had willed ...
