Here we are again!!

So What....

- If I don't have my Christmas tree up yet. I have all other decorations up but not the tree. We are going to go buy a new one tonight, the one we have now is very scrawny looking.
- If I have major baby fever! I'm ready to be a mommy! I know it will happen when it is suppose to but I'm so impatient!
- If I secretly jumped for joy when my former coworkers saw me and said I lost some weight! I have been thinking the exact opposite!
- If I love being busy, If I have nothing to do I go NUTS!
- If being a landlord is a lot harder then I thought it would be, chasing people for money SUCKS

Thats about it for this week! Have a wonderfully Wednesday!

Thankful

This year has brought more happiness and joy then I could ever imagine. As I sit here in my warm bed with my puppy by my side and hear my husband watching a hockey game in the living room, I can't help but realize how much love I have in my life. I'm very very blessed and sometimes I feel like I'm not thankful enough for all God has given me. Sometimes I get caught up in everything around me and don't just sit back and take in all the goodness around me. I hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful thanksgiving filled with food family and friends. Don't forget to take a look around and realize how blessed you are. xoxo

Poppy Seed Pork With Apples & Rice

So tonight the hubby and I are going to go meet our friends new little one Landin(baby fever to follow). We decided since they are wore out and sleep deprived we would bring them a yummy dinner so they relax a bit. Hubby wanted to bring pizza but I decided to step up my "wifey" game a bit and bring a delicious meal that I know everyone would enjoy (I mean if I love something doesn't everyone). This recipe came from Publix, our local supermarket. I made it last year for John and he LOVED IT. Its a perfect fall meal, even if its 80 degrees out here.



Poppy Seed Pork With Apples And Rice
Ingredients
1 medium onion
3 medium tart green apples
4 ribs celery
1 boneless Boston butt pork roast (2–3 lb)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 1/2 cups apple juice
1 (12-oz) bottle poppy seed dressing
2 cups long grain white rice


Prep
Cut onion and apples into large wedges.
Cut celery into bite-size pieces.
Season pork with salt and pepper (wash hands).


Steps

Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add pork; cook 2–3 minutes on each side or until well browned.
Transfer pork to slow cooker; add onions, celery, apple juice, and poppy seed dressing. Cover and begin to cook on HIGH for 2 hours (or Low for 3 hours).
Add apples; cook on HIGH 1–2 more hours (or on Low for 3–4 more hours) or until 180°F (for slicing) or 190°F (for shredding).
Prepare rice, about 30 minutes before serving, following package instructions. Slice or shred pork; serve with apples, sauce, and rice.

So What Wednesdays!

I'm linking up again with Shannon over at "Life After I Dew" Here are my "So Whats" for this week...


So What If ....

- I Just started working out today again after about a month! At least I'm starting again!

- I'm a little bit nervous about Thanksgiving this year! Its my first time doing the Turkey all by myself! Of course my moms going to be here but I'm going to prove to everyone that I am capable of doing it myself...wish me luck!

- No one at my new job knows my personal number, are my friends on facebook or any other personal details about me. At my previous job EVERYONE knew EVERYTHING about me (my fault totally) and I promised myself to keep work at work and personal stuff at HOME!

- I havent brought Bentley to the groomers in about 2 months. He did get a nice bath yesterday though! I think he likes his long locks!

- If there are so many things I want to do to my new house! I just have to remember one step at a time!
