Hey! Where's My Feet?

If you're on Facebook or Pinterest you've likely seen the posts for crockpot chicken teriyaki, much like I have.  Over and over I kept seeing the post, finally clicked on it and the recipe seemed simple enough... so simple I decided to change from the traditional Christmas ham dinner to chicken teriyaki for our Christmas meal this year.  Ok, so the kids didn't exactly go for it... but I did and it was delicious! So the day came and do you think I could find the exact recipe I originally looked at, no of course not... so I googled it.  Yep, as you suspected 100 upon 100's of versions of crockpot chicken teriyaki.  So as I reviewed the recipes most got a thumbs down simply because there were to many ingredients and or things that needed to be done.  Seriously, the whole purpose of crockpot is to just dump it and go right?  Not cook for 3 hours then do this for 2 then do this and then that and... you get the point. So naturally I decided to ...

If you know me and my kids on a personal level you know of our love for bacon.  This year for Christmas I decided to take it to the next level... ~ PANCAKE FRIED BACON ~      Yes, you read that right... while I'm not a fan of pancakes, the kids are and a friend had posted this idea on Facebook so I thought what the heck I'll give it a whirl.  Ok maybe it wasn't "what the heck", maybe it was more like oh hell yeah I'm doing this one!!  No better time than for Christmas right!?   So when the kids were away I fried up a bowl of bacon - because if I'd done it while they were there, there wouldn't have been any left to make these delicious bites of heaven.     Christmas morning was upon us, the gifts were open, the floor was nowhere in sight, and it was time to begin making the most epic breakfast ever....   I mixed up some buttermilk pancake batter, and just like making onion rings started dipping the bacon in it.... ...

Would you looky there!  We're 10 days into a new year and I have yet to post my prepetual blog about how this is going to be the year... this is the year that I'm really gonna do it!  I'm gonna start eating healthy, exercising and getting back into shape.  Hmmmm... maybe because every time I post that blog, I fail.  So guess what... not doin it this year. Not posting about how this is the year, blah blah blah... nope, instead I'm just gonna do it!  As a matter of fact I've already started... been eating healthy (caveman style), exercising etc and guess what... I've got the first week done and I've lost 9 pounds!!!!!  Can you say Saaaweeeet!?  I know right!?  Granted it's no Biggest Loser result but I'll take it any week! The biggest changes I've made, other than exercising and eating healthy, is that I've cut out ALL fast foods, ALL processed foods, no grains/breads and a few other little things... surprisingly I feel great!  I'm not ...
