Road Trip!

Unfortunately a few days ago we lost a  great grandmother. She had a very special place in all of our hearts. Although we lost her, her memories will stay forever and be cherished for a lifetime, although she left us, heaven gained another soul! Now me and becky will be leaving for New York in a few hours! We have plenty of things lined up to do in our 21 hour drive! We have books, smash books, movies, and much more! We will take plenty of pictures and hopefully have fun!
Wont be on to blog for a while but we will be back!

My weekend

Welp i didn't do any certain project this weekend but i figured posting my new goals and achievements would be just as good! Well on saturday i didn't do much to blog about, BUT i did get a MUCH needed ceiling fan! I have been begging and begging my father to install one! finally he got down to business and put one in! Here is what it looks like, i love it, even though i can't really use it right now because I'm kinda sick with these stupid allergies! Although! I will use it very soon! Also later that night i fulfilled one of my new goals! To workout nightly, and eat right! I have been logging my food and have been making better eating choices! I worked out a ton and felt very good afterwards! I slept like a baby that night! Excluding these dumb allergies!

i Have plenty of new goals for myself!

1. Eat right and make better food decisions!

2. Work out nightly!

3. Get a toned and better looking body! (hopefully for the beach trip in July!)

4. Not be as lazy! Its just unhealthy!

5. Lastly, to drink as much water as my bladder can handle! Only drinking water from now on. -.-

Here are some workouts i saw on pinterest



Hopefully this motivation to get toned will stick and il reach all my goals!

Now on to Sunday! My father and I went fishing on the boat early! We had terrible luck other than me catching my first catfish! He was about 12 inches! Although we tossed him back, we didn't  know how large he needed to be so he lived to see another day! The rest of the afternoon was lazy! I just napped with my silly puppy we were tuckered out from the lake, BUT that did not stop me from working out that night! I felt like i pushed myself a little to far afterwards, i felt a little light headed! I will know better next time! Dad had a softball game, they won! Was happy about that! And now were to monday! Today i have been eating less, less snacking,and healthier choices for snacks, breakfast, and lunch! Going to do some more working out later! Hopefully all will go well for the rest of the week!

Time to get healthy!

Time to Get Healthy!


Well yesterday Misti and I decided we are going to start working out every day, for however long as long as we work out. 
We did Wii fit yesterday and yoga. Yoga can be so relaxing. 
Today we did yoga, Wii fit, and we did our own exercises we found on Pinterest. I LOVE PINTEREST!

For my exercises on Pinterest I did: 

20 push-ups
20 crunches
10 sit-ups
30 squats
20 lunges
20 sec. plank
30 sec. wall sit
60 sec. wall sit
75 jumping jacks
15 bench dips

Now keep in mind i did these in sets and took a couple breaks in-between. Now Misti did about double what I did except the 60 sec. wall sit. If you wanna work your legs, then do the 60 sec. wall sit. 


Whenever you're working out keep this in mind, 

(P.S. I found this picture on Pinterest.^.^)


This is what kept me going through that 60 sec. That and the help of God. And the thought of how I'm gonna look after doing that everyday and getting more fit and toned. Can't wait till that day comes!


Now today I have planned to exercise quite a bit, I might watch a scary movie, try out a few projects I saw on Pinterest. Oh. and I did paint my nails the other day like Misti said, I will post pictures later. Last night I made this avocado mask and now my face is soft.(:

Avocado Mask
---------
1 Avocado
1 1/2 Tbsp. Raw Honey
1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice

Also every month like twice a month instead of shampoo and conditioning my hair, I found that if you use oil and a few other ingredients in your hair, it will help make it softer, shiner, and smoother!

Oil Hair Treatment
--------------
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Honey
1 Tbsp, Apple Cider Vinegar 

All you have to do is follow a few simple steps.

STEP 1: First put on an old shirt you don't mind getting oily.

STEP 2: Mix the ingredients together well in a cup, bowl, etc.

STEP 3: Massage through all of your hair, then use a comb to help get it throughout all of your hair. (If you have longer, thicker hair you can always use bigger portions.)

STEP 4: Grab a clip or you can leave your hair down. Leave the mixture in for one hour.

STEP 5: Take a shower and shampoo out the mixture till its all out.

STEP 6: Enjoy your softer, shinier, smoother hair!(:


Just thought I'd share those with you. Have a great day, more to come soon!

Happy fathers day!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
      
Happy fathers day to all the fathers out there! Even though my father had to work, he still seemed to have a pretty good day! It was filled with work till 3:45 come home and debate what was for dinner (i thought he should have a nice stake dinner or red lobster or something, but he had a softball game so he did not want to eat much) so we got chinese food, from chanz! They gave us enough food to feed eight people! Then he went to his softball game with Kim, although they lost they gave it there all and had fun! Then he came home and mowed a lawn (I really thought he should just relax) and then he returned home and pulled his motor out of his car and loaded that up! He had a very busy night! The night before, he raced and did pretty well! Third in the heat and 5th in the feature, although he had over heating problems he got to finish strong! 
Here is a pic or two of his stuff!(:

 His cake and collage German chocolate his fav!(:

Tea cakes(:


                              Its been a while sense I have posted a project i have done, even though i have not posted them does not mean i have not been doing them, I've been doing plenty(:
A while ago I made teacakes, there is a story behind them! For the longest time me and my father have enjoyed our lovely friend Mrs. Moody's wonderful tea cakes. A couple of years ago we received the recipe, just to lose it a little while later in kitchen and recipe clutter, which was a devastating loss! Well the other day i was thinking, "I really want to bake something!" So i headed into the kitchen and took a few cook books to my room and began looking through them! I then turned to the dessert section of a church cook book we got a few years back, and began searching for a new yummy project. Only to find a tea cake recipe, i thought to myself "no teacake recipe could ever equal the quality of Mrs. Moody's!" but come to find out I looked down, and i read this. "Submitted by Diane Moody" I nearly fell off my bed! It really was her recipe! I was amazed at how we actually had the recipe all along and did not even know it! 
Later that night i made them and they turned out wonderful!(: Here are some pictures!




They were wonderful!

Homemade Chicken Nuggets and Fries!



So yesterday our project was to make chicken nuggets and fries home made. Well mission accomplished soldier! They were delicious you have to try it out!




STEP 1: Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Set aside and discard any fat or undesirable pieces.


STEP 2: Prepare your workstation. Whip 1 egg, put bread crumbs in bowl, line baking sheet with tin foil (this reduces cleanup) and spray with cooking spray.












STEP 3: Coat chicken in egg.


STEP 4: Coat as evenly as possible in breadcrumb.


STEP 5: Place on baking sheet


STEP 6: Bake at 425 for 8-10 min, turning over halfway through.
STEP 7: Enjoy delicious homemade chicken nuggets!


I then decided that fries sounded good to go with it. So I made some.


STEP 1: Wash potatoes. (I did 3-4 for two people)



STEP 2: Cut the potatoes into slices then cut the slices any way you want.


STEP 3: I baked them at 425 F  for about 5 minutes then I deep fried them for about 10 minutes. Check them after the first 5 minutes.

STEP 4: Season and enjoy!

Thai Curry Spicy Chicken Minis


Yesterday my cousin and I decided we wanted to make something, so we made these.
My mom told us that we needed to think of a project everyday. So this was yesterdays.


Thai Curry Spicy Chicken Minis






 

Thai Chicken Mixture
1
tablespoon vegetable oil
1
lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1
medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4
cup sliced green onions (4 medium)
1/4
cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2
teaspoon Thai red curry paste
1
tablespoon fresh lime juice
1
cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
Baking Mixture
1/2
cup Original Bisquick® mix
1/2
cup milk
2
eggs
Garnishes
1/2
cup salted cocktail peanuts
1/4
cup sliced green onions (4 medium, if desired)


  • 1Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • 2In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Add onion; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add green onions, cilantro, red curry paste and lime juice, stirring occasionally, until mixture is heated through. Cool 5 minutes; stir in cheese.
  • 3In medium bowl, stir baking mixture ingredients with whisk or fork until blended. Spoon 1 scant tablespoon baking mixture into each muffin cup. Top with about 1/4 cup Thai chicken mixture. Spoon 1 tablespoon baking mixture onto Thai chicken mixture in each muffin cup.
  • 4Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and tops of pies are golden brown. Ten minutes into baking, carefully open oven and sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon peanuts on top of each muffin. Close oven door and finish baking. Cool 5 minutes. With thin knife, loosen sides of pies from pan; remove from pan and place top sides up on cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes longer; serve with sliced green onions.


 I substituted jalapeƱo for the green onion cause we didn't have any green onion, and it worked out pretty good.










They turned out AWESOME! I loved them, you should try it.

About us!



This is myself (Becca-right), and my cousin (Misti-left). No I am not not mental, I'm just weird.(; Misti and I started this because my mom wanted us to.-_- Anyways you're probably wondering about how we came up with our name - Project: I'll Tell You Later. Well you see, my cousin and I have practically a million inside jokes, by now you may have figured out, that is one of them except we added the project in the title for I don't know what reason. We have the STUPIDEST yet most hilarious insiders. I have no idea what to write about, so this first post will be about me, Becca. 

I love art, any kind and style.
Linkin Park is like the best band you will ever discover, and lifehouse they're pretty cool, I love any music really.
I like purple, purple is nice, and sometimes bright, so I like it.
Football is the most awesome sport ever!! Don't deny! ):< Cowboys own it!
Video games, hmmm, video games are awesome! Ever play Skyrim? No you say? Well get off you're lazy butt, go buy a PS3 if you don't already have one, then go buy Skyrim, THE MOST EPIC GAME OF ALL TIME! oh and GTA 4 is pretty cool. Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider is epic. Love that game. And others. Lots of others.
My mom takes a lot of random pictures... like say you're walking down the street and you see a dime in the road, she'll be like quick take a picture, or more likely to say, quick pick it up! She's weird, I "thankfully" get that wonderful trait... just kidding mom I love you :P
I am and will forever stay a Texan. Don't mess with Texas.
