What to make for dinner, when your Brain is mush!?!

I’ve been working more to help fund my trip to Las Vegas. I knew that after providing Massage Therapy to my lucky clients all day would make me exhausted and that when I got home I’d be slacking on dinner. Well I don’t really think that’s been the case. I find that coming home and cooking is very therapeutic. It helps me unwind from my day and I know I’m putting something healthy in my body, which is what our body naturally wants after a hard day’s work (healthy food! with nutrients)

Try this:

Grilled chicken Breast

Homemade Sweet Potato Fries- Wash sweet potato, cut into thin pieces, sprinkle with a little olive oil and salt. Bake in Oven for 35 minutes at 400 degrees

Green Bean with mushrooms- Steam Green beans. IN a separate pan heat olive oil and add mushrooms and onion. When beans are steamed add to mushrooms/onion mixture. When nearly cooked all the way at 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.

DIY >> Easter Bags

I got this Idea from the DIY inspiration post. These bags were so much fun to make. I used brown paper bags, paint markers and acrylic paints. The chick turned out much better than I thought too. Be creative with your scissors and you can transform a paper bag! I had all the supplies so these bags didn’t cost me anything ;)
