UUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Boobie Pancaking..

Boobs are awesome! I don't care if you're a guy or a chick, everyone loves boobs!
If you have boobs, You have more then likely felt yourself up.
My boobs are awesome, I mean they aren't perfect at all. They have breast fed 3 kids and with age and gravity (stupid Gravity) they are not  perfect. But..They are MINE.
As I put on a shirt at night, I tend to feel up my boobies just to make sure there is no weirdness..

Weirdness happened, in the form of me finding a lump..
Stupid lump meant doctor and test. Me no likey either.
Oh and Hospital... eww who the hell would like a hospital..
I adulted and made the appointment.

But when the day came, I no longer wanted to adult..
I wasn't afraid of what they might find.
I just really hate hospitals and test. Especially if the test includes smashing your boob.
I tried everything possible to get out of it. Finally Ingrid drug me there.

So if you have never had a Mammogram or you are the owner of a penis. A mammogram is basically a machine that takes a x-ray image of boobs. It does this by putting said boob in between two plastic plate thingys. This is not as easy as it might sound. You basically get your booby manhandled until its all the way on the plastic plate, then the smashing into a pancake happens. Which honestly isn't painful. The they push a button and BAM, they can see inside your booby.

After having all that fun, I had to do an ultrasound. Which feels so gross.
You see the ultrasound tech comes in and you lay topless.
Then she squirts this warm jelly stuff on your boob..
No I'm not talking about a porno.. Get your mind out the gutter..
The she whips out this probe thingy and rubs it all over your boob taking a billion pics with it.
(Told you to get your mind out the gutter!)
So once she finished doing that, she told me she needs to bring the radiologist in.

Waiting kinda sucked,
I get bored easily, I contemplated playing with the ultrasound machine but..
I'm pretty sure that wouldn't of been a good thing for the machine.
Finally after a million years, the radiologist came in. He whipped out the probe thingy again and then stopped. He started to explain " You see that right there? That is a lump, It will need to be biopsied. Don't worry it doesn't hurt as bad as it sounds. They will schedule you an appointment for a week to do that."
I honestly was so thankful he came in and told me. I didn't have to worry about waiting for results to come in.

So now another wait starts.Hopefully it goes fast! :)
You may ask, why write about this? Why show your drawn boobies?
The answer is easy. I wanna show other woman it isn't as scary as we all think it is. I mean even being there will give even the strongest woman fear. There's this fear of what if I have cancer? What if it hurts?

I wanna tell you, it is not as scary as you think. Yes, you may have cancer, but guess what you are being proactive.Best thing you can do is find out. If you do, you can kick its ass.
A mammogram isn't as painful as you may think. I was thinking OMG they are gonna beat my boobies.Nope it just felt like a hard groping. "If you know what I mean  *insert creepy eyebrow winking*
You feel a bit of pressure, but it is done so fast. Its actually pretty interesting watching the machine.

So ladies make sure you touch them boobies. Do a monthly breast exam! If you find a lump, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT ASAP! DON'T BE AFRAID!
Gents, nag the woman in your life to do breast exams! We must save all the boobies!!!

Sorry, been gone too long!

Life has been so busy lately that blogging was put aside! I am gonna try and get back into it. I am actually working on a good post! Hopefully it will be up soon!

oh oh spaghetti o's

My son, Gavin, loves those little bowls of spaghetti, tomato sauce and mystery meat goodness. I hate that they are so full of junk, we have been trying to get away from all processed foods. Gavin is so picky and getting him to eat is a chore sometimes, so when we find something he likes and will eat we are happy. Just like with the Granola, I was determined to make him some pre-cooked spaghetti o's with fresh meatballs.  As always I did a search for a recipe, but with having a picky child, I knew that I would have to tweak it for my family. Here are the basic ingredients:

 1 LBS of Ground beef
 Ditalini pasta or any other shape you would like (get gluten free if needed)
 2 cans of hunt's tomato sauce ( the 15 oz size)
 Cheese of your choice, I used the triple cheddar and it work great about 4 oz
 Onion powder to taste
 Garlic powder to taste
2 pinches of kosher salt
 1/2 cup of milk ( not pictured)

1. In a bowl mix ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of kosher salt.
2. roll out little meat balls to whatever size you prefer. I like to do them tiny.
3. In a sauce pan add both cans of tomato sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. bring to a simmer.
4. Once simmering, add raw meat balls (They will cook in the pot), and the whole box of Ditalini pasta. cover and stir regularly.

Adding my balls!

5. continue cooking until pasta puffs up and meat balls are cooked through.
6. once puffed up add milk and cheese and stir all together. let cook about 10 minutes more.
7. Let cool and portion out, if freezing

ready to freeze

 Now I grab one out of the freezer run it under warm water for a minute or so then, empty it into his bowl and microwave for 45 seconds. If you don't use a microwave, just leave out for a little while and then warm up in pan.

Gavin loves them! Since they are pre-cooked, it make lunch soooo easy and quick.

GRANOLA!

We love granola in our house! It's is my wifey Ingrid's favorite! What we don't love is the price. A little bag can be quite pricey. So I decided I needed to learn how to make my own granola. I searched numerous recipes and didn't quite find what I wanted, so I just kinda winged it. And this is what I came up with.

You will need :
Pictured:
2 cups of oats, I used quick and it seemed to work fine (use gluten free if you are gluten free)
2 TBL of coconut oil
1/2 cup honey
1 TBL of chia seeds
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup banana chips
1 TBL ground flax seeds
(Disregard the peanut butter, Inky was eating it with celery and it ended up in the picture)

1. Pre-heat oven to 370 degrees
 2. In a small sauce pan on low  heat, warm coconut oil and honey. It will look like they stay separated but just give it a quick stir before adding it to the other ingredients.
3. In a big bowl add oats, almonds, chia seeds, banana chips, ground flax seed. Mix it all together. * put almonds in a food processor if they are whole. Unless you want them whole.*
4. Once warmed add the honey/coconut oil to the oat mixture and mix well.
5. Spray pan and spread out the oat mixture. Put in oven and stir around every little while, until it is lightly browned. When it comes out of the oven it will be soft and gooey but it will harden up when cooled.

It is soo yummy, we love it. It is also very easy to make.
