On my morning commute, I was “blinded by the light”, hehe. I had to do it pun intended. Oh and please excuse the dirty windshield. This was a gorgeous sunrise with the sun peaking through. It truly blinded me, but was still such a welcome sight to see!
This recipe is a really good one for an Easter brunch or potluck! And the finished results are so cute!
Deviled Egg Chicks!Prep Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 1 hr
Yield: 8 chicks
Note: You may want to boil a few extra eggs for this, in case some of them don’t peel well or get wrecked, it happens. Also so that you will have plenty of filling, too! If you boil extra eggs and add the yolks to the filling, just add a bit more of the ingredients to compensate, it’ll be fine! ;).
If you decide to make this let me know how it turned out!

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I have been scouring the web for good brownie recipes using guinness beer. The recipe below is from Sprinkle Bakes.
Guinness Brownies
Five Ingredient Guinness Brownies
Yields one 8-inch pan of brownies, 12 to 15 servings
Notes: If you don’t have self-rising flour on hand, add 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the flour before mixing it into the batter.
Since these brownies are almost pudding-like in the center, they need to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
7 egg yolks, at room temperature
2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
3/4 cup (177ml) Guinness Extra Stout
1 cup (125g) self-rising flour
2/3 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Spray an 8-inch square pan with flour-based baking spray, or line it with parchment paper that overhangs two edges of the pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Add the Guinness Extra Stout and whisk until combined. Whisk in the flour and cocoa and mix until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Serve the brownies from the pan or lift them out with the overhanging parchment and slice them into squares.
We love these warmed in the microwave (about 20 seconds at 100% power) with scoops of vanilla ice cream on top.

I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to keep up with trying to increase my weights. I started my journey with a set of dumbells (3, 5, 8 lbs.). Well I soon outgrew those weights.
As I stayed consistent with my workouts, I was having to increase my weights more frequently. This is a good thing! Essentially it means I am getting stronger and building lean muscle.
So guess what finally arrived today?
The ever coveted bowflex selecttech 552 adjustable dumbells.
I haven’t had a chance to use them or unpack them from the box. But you can be sure I will be busting these babies out of the box tomorrow.
Do you have bowflex dumbells? How do you like them? I’d love to hear your opinion. Feel free to get in touch @jenross76 on facebook, and @jenross76 on instagram.
Happy Tuesday!
Me, after my sweaty home workout.
I am starting this weight loss journey overweight, low self confidence, and low self-esteem. I am slowly learning to kick my negative self talk, and self-defeating attitude to the curb.
I am slowly gaining discipline, consistency and accountability for my choices, Which is huge!
I can’t tell you how many times I have started a new habit only to quit doing it a few weeks into the process! I start a new workout or start going to the gym and I’m going strong for a few weeks, and then life gets in the way. I get sick, or I’m too busy and exhausted, or I fall back into my old routines of junk food eating, desserts, and fast food. Because it’s easy, familiar and maybe a little comforting (like a down comforter on a cold day, or that biscuits and gravy that doesn’t love me back).
I am so determined to get my health back. I want to be the person who does not have to sit back, watch others have fun because I am too exhausted to participate.
As a mom on the go most of the day, I don’t have a lot of time or money to dedicate to going to the gym. I barely have time for sleep on a good day.
Get your health and your sanity back, by taking time to take care of yourself. How are you supposed to care for your family, your kids or your fur babies, if you don’t take care of yourself?
Follow me as I struggle, yet push on in my weight loss journey. I will NOT give up this time. This time WILL be different.
No one said it was going to be easy, but I hope to motivate and inspire others to join me through my struggles and triumphs….If I can do this, so can you!
Join me in a private accountability group that starts on March 21. It will include a 30 minute workout of your choice which you can do in the comfort of your own home, and a healthy nutritious super food meal replacement shake.
