A real quick update on my health before diving into the recipe - I'm officially at week 7 for my cough. I saw the doctor 13 days ago and then again 6 days ago. My antibiotics are out and I'm on the last few days of my cough medication/pills that I'm taking 3x per day. My cough seems to have been getting worse the past 3 days or so. I got blood word yesterday, the focus was thyroid and white blood cell count but when I was confirming with the lady who was drawing my blood, she said, "we are checking you for a lot of things" and took 4 vials of blood. I'm still waiting on those results. My energy is better, I have been doing errands and going out and staying active as much as I can. I haven't been napping or anything like that. The doctor I saw 6 days ago said this is the post-COVID cough but the previous doctor treated it like pneumonia with the antibiotics/medication he provided me. I still have to wear a mask when I go out. I've been congested the last few days. The doctor told me that he can switch me to a different antibiotic so I will call him on Friday when my cough medication is out and see if there is something else I can take. Fingers crossed I get better soon because not only this annoying and frustrating, but it does take energy out of me when I cough so much. I was coughing every 10 minutes a few weeks ago and it's down to morning and evening mainly. I'll keep you updated!

Now to the recipe, this recipe was really really good. Sloppy Joe's reminds me of church camp. This was one of the staples that we would have ever year, without fail. Do you have a nostalgic memory like I do?

The meat to this one was perfect! So, so good and flavorful. If you make this, let me know below! You can pair this with garlic bread, french fries, or dill pickles. I remember when I had this at church camp, they always gave us pickles too. Such nostalgia!

Ingredients:
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp light brown sugar
15oz spaghetti sauce
1 pound ground beef
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Pepper, to taste

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
