Best sandwich ever

So, I've been playing around with this new sandwich, and here is the latest rendition. Jeremy and the kids all loved it. Zucchini bread, hummus and spicy Stubbs spread, smoked turkey, bacon, cheddar cheese, and a fried egg.
Enjoy!

Still can't stop coughing

2 weeks later, and I still can't stop coughing.  I went back to the doctor and they've run some more tests, so I'm waiting to hear back now.  Do you know how difficult it is to chase after your 4 year old and 1 year old when moving makes you cough? This is killing me!!!

My best friend got married last weekend.  We had a very nice family trip to Atlanta and the wedding was absolutely beautiful. I am so happy for him and was so excited to see him and his new wife so happy.  I love weddings.

Of course, traveling with 2 kids while coughing all of the time is quite difficult. But, we had a wonderful time and my kids were on their best behavior.  Sometimes I think my kids are the best kids ever!  Of course, then I remember other times when they don't listen or do what they are told and I still think I have the best kids ever, but I know they are just kids.

I'm very excited for another weekend now.  Hubby is on his way home and the kids are just getting up from their naps.  We're going to kick off this weekend and have some fun!

Am I allergic to Texas?

For the last six months, I have been sick at least one week of every month.  It started in February.  I got appendicitis. So, I was sick in February and March recovering from that. in April, I got a cold.  In May, I got Mono.  In June, I had a fever for a couple of days. Now, in July, I have bronchitis.  Do you know how hard it is to take care of a 1 year old and a 4 year old when you can barely breath?  I feel like I'm dying for half the day.

Why?! I've been taking such good care of myself.  I've been working out at least 3 times a week. I'm eating well. Maybe my body doesn't like me trying to be healthy. I wonder if I started eating like crap and stopped exercising if I would get better.  Not that I'm going to do that.  I have stopped exercising.  I can't really run if I can't breath.  I hope the coughing will go away soon so I can get back to it though.  I really don't want to be set back too far on the progress I have made in my stamina.

So, what is it that keeps making me so sick? Why can't I get better?

On a better note, I made a couple of awesome meals that my family just loved.  First, I made zucchini bread and my husband smoked turkey breast.  So, I put the two together and made a smoked turkey club on zucchini bread with a jalapeno cream cheese hummus spread.  It was so good.

A new site, but the same good stuff

I've decided to make my husbands life easier by using Blogger, instead of my old site that he was maintaining for me. So, here I am. I've moved over all the great content from before, so you can refer back to my informative posts whenever you want to.  I also moved over the recipes too, although they are intermixed in with the posts. I'm trying to figure that one out so you can find them easier in the future.  I'll keep you posted.

I hope you enjoy Slippers in the Kitchen.  Our life is very exciting with lots of changes happening all of the time, so I'll try to keep at it as much as I can.
