Adventures of Pax & Co


Last Sunday was a great day, even though my best friend and I got completely drenched by not even entering the lake. Sunday was a beautiful day and barely had any clouds in the sky. It was the perfect day to go to Grayson Lake. My best friend was coming down and we were going to spend the time by the lake water and I really couldn't wait the entire morning. 

 We finally get to the lake and we are completely excited, but after finally finding a REALLY good spot, guess what? Yeah, we got rained on and more than just that, poured on. It poured the rain, which we hid under a tree for awhile until it started lightening. Even though our day at the lake got ruin by the rain, I will always cherish this memory because although it pours, the sun comes out. Not every bad experience, is a bad experience. There are always good things that can come out of anything that happens. Just like a great day can come out of a rainy day. 

 My best friend and I have been best friends since Kindergarten. There were several years we didn't keep in contact and practically hated each other, but we were teenagers..we didn't know any better. We put boys before each other and started hanging out with different people.

  Life happens, right? Well, life put us back together. God put this girl in my life for several different reasons, but one reason I know for sure is to always be my best friend no matter what. We have been through the thick and the thin, but we stand together no matter what. God has put us in different directions in our lives but we are ultimately going to the same place, Cincinnati. I am so blessed to have such a great best friend and am excited to see what the future holds for the both of us!  

 More adventures of Pax & Co are yet to come!

Healthy General Tso Chinese

Image
Ever want Chinese but don’t want the guilt and bloat of ordering the buffet or an overloaded to-go order? My husband and I LOVE Chinese food but really don’t like the discomfort it brought to our bellies once we started eating healthier. When we lived in Fort Thomas, KY in the winter of 2016-2017, we CRAVED Chinese almost every day so we needed to find a healthier solution or we were going to reap the consequences of all the sodium, refined carbs, and high calories. We also needed something quick and easy to meal prep for lunches during the week. After lots of researching and trying different recipes, I found a great way to make this favorite Chinese dish at your home with friends and family. I looked online for recipes to make it homemade but never found anything that I liked or that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to make. I have made homemade sesame seed chicken, but it turned out too salty and I didn’t want that to happen also. So when shopping at Kroger, I found a Genera

Sweet Potato & Apple Casserole

Image
This is one of my all-time favorite dishes that I have created. It's a dish that I'll make for dinner to go with some pork chops or I'll make it around the holidays to take to parties for dessert. This is a great fall dish but can be cooked all year-round for multiple occasions. Try it as a dessert or a side and let me know what your family thinks!  Ingredients: 2-3 medium sweet potatoes 3-5 apples (I used gold delicious once and it was surprisingly good!) 1 tbs olive oil 1 tbs lemon juice 2 tbs cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 1 cup of walnuts/pecans --topping and optional Directions: 1. Preheat oven at 350F. Peel the sweet potato and place it in the microwave with water to steam it. Then cut it up into cubes. 2. Wash and cut apples into cubes, sometimes I take the peeling off and sometimes I don't. This is usually a personal preference, so if you don't like the apple peeling, feel free to take it off. 3. Put apples and sweet potatoes in a bowl to mix wi
