Healthier Ground Beef Enchiladas

I just sat down for the first time today to actually relax. And it's 4pm on a Saturday. Yesterday was my birthday (yay for 36!) so my fiance and I went down south and stayed at a hotel. We had a nice time. I drove home two hours today and then finished up putting resin on some tumblers, I went to the market so I can make more recipes for you guys, wrapped presents for my son because his birthday is next Friday, and then worked for a few minutes. I also received some Amazon orders because, you know, Christmas is in a few weeks, so I went through those as well. Whew, ready for a break. I am so behind on blogs and I am pretty sure I say that in all of my blog posts. I actually have a blog post that I'll be making next about discounts and deals you can receive from companies during your birthday. And my birthday was yesterday so that tells you how behind I am on blogs :/ 

So I think I made this recipe last week, or maybe the week before and it's for Ground Beef Enchiladas. Kevin is supposed to be eating a low sodium diet so most of our recipes are low sodium or healthier. This recipe was no different. This one is from NW Kidney and it can be found HERE. 

I hope you love it like we did!

Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
Carb Balance flour tortillas (or corn tortillas)
1 can enchilada sauce

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
