30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 3 Where do you see yourself in 10 years

GOOD QUESTION! 

I'll be 43 and more amazing than today. 

My daughter will be almost done college and moved out so I hope to travel to beautiful beaches all over the world. (With and without her). 

Masters degree in nursing. Working side by side with some great people. Not in a psych facility as I am now. 

Living in a mediocre sized house with lots of land for gardening my own foods. 

Hope to be a nutritionist helping more people change their lives. 

This blog should be top notch by then because I'll know how to work it correctly and have a bigger reader base. 

Burger Blitz...these burgers will melt in your mouth.

Ingredients:

2 lbs lean ground beef (I used 92/8)

1 small zucchini squash diced

1/2 green pepper diced

1/2 orange pepper diced

1/2 purple onion diced

1/2 avocado chopped

2oz mushrooms diced

4oz crumbled feta cheese

Preheat whatever you are using to cook the burgers. I used a griddle (since it was raining outside) heated to 350. 

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mush around with your hands until all mixed together thoroughly. (Add spices if you choose to, but they're great without any). 

Yes...I'm not a beef eater so I drowned the beef in veggies. 

Make patties 2 inches thick. Place on your cooking surface (in my case, the griddle). 

Looks pretty amazing huh? YESSSSSSS

Cook burgers until they are brown on both sides (requires flipping 1-2 times) and cooked thoroughly in the middle. However you like your burgers cooked. 

Golden brown! Juicy juicy. Mmm mmm

good. 

You can choose to add a slice of cheese to melt on top or not. I added a slice of reduced fat provolone cheese. 

Place burger on a bun (or no bun) and eat away! 

The finished product with some fresh asparagus. 

30 Day Blog Post...day 2, Your current relationship status

MARRIED! To one lucky fellow...lol. I've been hitched for 14 years but legally (by paper) for 3 years as of yesterday. 

Yes, I went all non-traditional on the dress, but I LOVE PINK. 

Married life is everything a relationship without paper is...Ups/downs, good/bad, rewarding/challenging, fun/boring, etc. 

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 1 Introduction and a Recent Photo

 This is the most recent pic I have. I am the one waving in the front. This is from my Tough Mudder April 2013. Pretty AWESOME day I must say. Those lovely ladies behind me are 2 of my mudder buddies...they are freakin' amazing.

This is the most recent non-muddy photo I have (a few days prior to the one above).

I'm Kate...that is my introduction...thanks for reading my blog posts...I hope you like them!

30 Day Blog Challenge, ready...set...GO!

I don't want my blog to be about "me" per say, but I'd like to get a running start on some things that maybe might spark the interest of some readers. I am going to do the 30 day blog challenge listed below. I will post other blog entries as well, so that I stay true to my word of not making this blog about ME! I hope you all enjoy... WOW, wishing myself luck.

Stuck in a RUT...the chicken's at it again...HELP

Okay...I have a real life problem (maybe not for some, but yes, for me) ... I am stuck in a fish and chicken RUT. I eat sooooooooo much of it that frankly, I think I'm sick of it (to some level), BUT (here's the clincher) I don't eat red meat or pork (gag me with a rusty spoon).

what's left? 

any good ideas of new things to try? maybe even how to perk up the fish and chicken?
