In VERY important news…..

Groundhog Day 2020: Punxsutawney Phil Predicts Early Spring. … The groundhog allegedly did not see his shadow, according to members of his “inner circle,” meaning there will be an early spring. According to legend, if he had seen his shadow it would have signified six more weeks of winter.

Now if that isn’t a highlight to the week, then I don’t know what is! #coldaf #bringonspring

{shrimp + pineapple fried rice}

Posted in Cooking, Food, foodie, health, Healthy, Kid Food, mom & me, Recipe by

Hi friends! It’s been a while since I’ve shared a recipe on here. So, I wanted to change that STAT!

This coming Saturday is Chinese New Year. And you know that I’m all about celebrating ALL THE THINGS. Holidays are kinda my thing! We like to go all out. Big or small. Holiday or not. Typically we celebrate with one main thing…….

FOOD!

Bay and I wanted to put a fun + healthy spin on one of your very favorite Chinese dishes. Fried rice. If Bay could eat fried rice every day, she 100% would. Ha! Since it’s the new year and everyone, inducing myself, seem to be on the clean eating train. I am currently on week #2 of the Kaia Fit 30-day Jump-start program. Which is very clean eating.

My wheels started turning and I decided to whip up on of my favorite healthy rice dishes. Shrimp + Pineapple Fried Rice using Hinode Calrose Brown Rice. Grown in U.S.A. Non GMO. Gluten Free. Heart healthy.

You can find a variety of Hinode rice at Walmart + Nugget Market.

Before we get started on the recipe, I wanted to chat a little more about Chinese New Year.

SHOP: Pajamas

Bay Bakes. It’s be a while, but my favorite (not-so) little baker is back. You see, Bay’s now a teenager. So, sometimes she’s all about the blog, like right now. And other times, not so much. Ha! When she’s willing to bake, I take her up on it!

She made the cutest + yummiest Christmas Light Cookies. They are so fun and festive.

I included the sweetest Letter To Santa free printable at the end of this blog post. Although we no longer host our Letters To Santa night, Bay will 100% be forced to write a letter anyway!

It’s Target Tuesday! So, Bay and I rounded up our favorite pajama sets for you today. They are all under $30 and super cute.

If you know me, then you know Pajamas are my jam! Ha! I love a good pajama set. And if you know me, then you’ve likely seen me in mine multiple times. It’s just my thing, I guess!

I searched high and low for a pair that Bay and I could twin. And this pair got her stamp of approval…lol! We’ve both been living in them since.
