Savvy with Abbie

Happy Labor Day weekend! For me, it doesn't mean much since I don't have a job, but it's always nice to spend time with family regardless. Kevin and I went to the casino a few days ago which was nice and much needed, Jace spent the night with his friend and then he gets two sleepovers with his cousins before I spend the day in San Luis Obispo (SLO) tomorrow with my cousin and bring him home. I love that he has so many friends and so much support.  This school year, so far, has been way less stressful than in the past. Jace doesn't have homework and he currently has A's and B's. This time last year he already had a C or two. He can come home, we can spend some time with him, he has time for his game and then a chore or two so right now, this is the perfect schedule for all of us. Plus, with not having to help him with homework every night, it leaves me more time to make delicious meals like this one -  Chicken Gyros with Homemade Tzatziki Sauce.  Recipe inspo:  R

I knew it would be a busy week and no time for blogging. But, I'm here now. I am officially down 5.1 pounds in 27 days. I'll admit though, I didn't eat too healthy this weekend. Working to get back on track tomorrow :) Last week we made this recipe - Greek Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki. It was an interesting one because I've never made my own Gyros before. Here is the link to the original recipe: https://www.recipetineats.com/greek-chicken-gyros-with-tzatziki/  and our recipe is below. They turned out amazing and Kevin loved them!
