I don’t use the word hate much…but I HATE seeing my little ones sick :(  Especially little T – he looks so sad – with his little droopy eyes and his red, stuffed, drippy nose.  He is just now getting over his week-long cold/flu & I am trying my absolute best to avoid getting the rest of the house sick too.  And if one kid gets sick, the next one gets sick, and then Hubs gets sick.  I’m sure you can relate mama’s, but a sick Hubs is worse than a sick kiddo any day.  And, I, at all costs will use every measure possible to avoid that from happening!!

So, what’s my strategy for keeping my family healthy and nursed back from sickness?!  All the essentials…homeopathic honey cold & cough medicine, Kleenex tissues (we love the ultra soft ones for V&T’s little red drippy noses), lots & lots of water, and massive amounts of veggies & fruits.  Very simple, but it works!!  And so far (crossing my fingers & toes) no one else has gotten the little T flu virus yet – wahoo!!  That’s a recipe for success, if you ask me!!  (oh & pssst – here’s a deal for ya on Kleenex too – for a limited time at Target use this coupon to grab a $1 off Kleenex 4 packs or larger – saaawheet!)

And…want to know my newest way to fill their bellies with veggies during flu season?!  It’s to put as many veggies possible (and I mean A LOT!!) into a nice warm & filling soup – yum!  And, this my friends is the best soup for that… Seven Vegetable Minestrone Soup …it’s super yummy, chocked FULL of veggies, so healthy, & bound to kick that yucky flu to the curb.  Peace out flu!!

      I do not Angie, sorry – in the kitchen I’m a tinkerer & rarely keep track of that stuff. You could always plug the ingredients into a calorie counting site to get ballpark info. :) xo

    This is one of my favourite soups. It’s been in my soup rotation for a while now, so I thought I would comment! It also freezes well to make weeknight meals easy!
    Thanks for the recipe :)

    […] Seven Vegetable Minestrone Soup at Mama Miss is a serious vegetable power-house of a soup. White beans and pasta give a nice heft to the dish, making it a more substantial meal for those hard working bellies. Small shells or elbow pasta make a good substitute if you don’t have ditalini pasta on hand.

    […] Meal three: Soups aren’t always the most appealing during hot summer days but I find the warm comfort food can still be great especially when you take them for lunch the next day and your office building is sub-arctic. Use the mixed squash, carrots, slicing tomatoes, and Egyptian spinach for a Seven Vegetable Minestrone Soup. […]

Meanwhile… this is my night ❤️💕Prepping v Meanwhile… this is my night ❤️💕Prepping valentines for my co-op kiddos, for tomorrow.

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.

Going from goofy monikers, chatting about Bieber, disagreeing with friends over who liked pale mint green first, spending forever with her cousins picking out lipstick…. ➡️➡️➡️ to spending HER Christmas money at Barnes & Noble last night on these two books: Like The Willow Tree/Lowry - about the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic & The Bridge Home/Venkatraman - about homeless children and poverty in India 🤯 📖📚👩🏼‍🏫
