One of best things about having grand babies is th One of best things about having grand babies is they’ve forced me to slow down a bit. When they’re here I focus on them and not my list of a million other things to do. There is plenty of time for work when they go home…and who could resist napping on a porch swing with the sweetest, snuggly baby❤️???

I’m not sure who took this picture, but I’ve always been so grateful for it. I don’t have many pictures of me with Jack. This was his 4th birthday party and our last to celebrate with him. We celebrated big with the whole family and a Mickey cake made by his sisters. He was so loved and he loved us even more! 

Happy Birthday to our sweet Jack Thomas. We love and miss you more each day.

🍳Starbucks Dupe Egg Cups🍳 We’ve been tryi 🍳Starbucks Dupe Egg Cups🍳

We’ve been trying to hit our protien goals and if you’re trying to do the same, you know it’s HARD! These little egg cups have 14g of protein per cup and are so yummy! The recipe I make is below, but you can add whatever meat, veggies and cheese you like! The secret ingredient?!? Cottage cheese! Just blend the eggs and cottage cheese up together and no one will know it’s in there😉! Also…don’t skip the water in a baking dish. It creates steam which makes the egg cups the perfect consistency! Hope you love them as much as we do!

Egg Cups:
8 large eggs
2/3 cup cottage cheese 
1/2 cup Fairlife milk 
1 cup shredded cheese of your choice 
1lb ground sausage browned and drained 
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper 

•Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. 
•In a blender mix eggs and cottage cheese. Mix in browned sausage, milk, cheese and salt and pepper. 
•Pour mixture into prepared muffin tin filling about 2/3 full. 
•Place a baking dish with water on bottom rack of oven and muffin tin above. 
•Bake on 300 for 30 min. Allow to cool before removing egg cups from muffin tin. 
•store in fridge until ready to serve! Enjoy!
