Happy Thanksgiving From My Family to Yours!!!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am reflecting on all that I have to be thankful for.  There is a long mental list, I am truly blessed on so many levels.  Just thought I would share some of my list with you:)

I am so incredibly thankful for...

1. My healthy, happy kids who drive me crazy at times but light up my life and give me purpose and joy.

2. My family who can be so dysfunctional at times but always feels like home.

3. My Health.  Sounds silly at 33 years young, but I lost my sister to cancer two years ago.  She was only 28.  I learned first hand how truly valuable health is and how without it, other worries can seem so insignificant.

4. My lifelong friends who are so dear to me and understand that when I'm quiet, something is wrong. 

5. My home business which has allowed me not only the freedom to be home with my kids, with a more than full time income, but also has helped me to grow everyday into a better person and leader.

6. My team who inspires me and without their hard work, I would not be where I am today in my home business. 

7. My attitude which allows me to see things in a positive light and stand up and continue fighting through any storm.

8. God, who loves me no matter what mistakes I make and who seems to always lead me in the right direction...even if the direction didn't seem so right at the time.

9. For you!  Thank you for taking the time to read this and other posts on The Savvy WAHMom.  It is an honor to be able to share my heart with you:)

What are you thankful for?  I would love for you to share!

With all of that being said...Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!!  May your day be blessed and filled with special friends and family, lots of laughter and smiles and delicious food cooked with love!

Many blessings,

Super Quick Dinners - They'll Think You are Super Mom!

Since I've been a full time work at home mom, I have welcomed all the challenges that come along with merging my inner domestic diva with my career at home.  It's not always the easiest job, but it is right where I want to be and I wouldn't have it any other way!  When I first decided to become a full time work at home mom, I knew it was going to be a balancing act and I would have to get a little savvy so I could make it all happen...and have fun in the process.

Cooking has always been a big part of my life.  Not only is it a huge hobby of mine but I love yummy, home cooked food!  However, spending an hour plus cooking everyday doesn't fit in with my busy schedule.  So I improvise and am always on the lookout for recipes that I can throw together in a flash!

Here are the latest super quick recipes I have added to the rotation:

1. Rotisserie Chicken Enchiladas with Guacamole-Salsa Salad -

If you are a fan of Mexican food, you will love this!  I put the toppings on the side since my seven year old is not too fond of lettuce, tomato and olives.

2. Ground Beef Chili - http://www.publix.com/aprons/meals/AllRecipes/SimpleMeal.do?mealId=3469&mealGroupId=1000

I serve this over elbow macaroni for the kids and top with colby jack cheese. 

3. Homestyle Chicken Tender Bake with Apple Streusel Pizza - http://www.publix.com/aprons/meals/AllRecipes/SimpleMeal.do?mealId=6468&mealGroupId=1000

This recipe is so delicious that my kids beg me to make it again the next night!

4. Roast Pork and Black Beans on Rice with Zesty Herb Salad -http://www.publix.com/aprons/meals/AllRecipes/SimpleMeal.do?mealId=133&mealGroupId=1000 

All four recipes are delicious and my whole family and any guests we have over eat every bite. And they all think I am super mom!!  Little do they know, it really doesn't take much time to make these meals happen.

Looking forward to sharing more recipes with you in the future!  If you have any quick recipes that help you pull off your super, savvy mom gig, feel free to share.  My daughter and I are always looking for new recipes to try together....which is also spending quality time with her at the same time.  Multi-tasking at it's best!!

Blessings,
