So, Kevin and I have been trying out new recipes (some of which are also healthy!)out of magazines and I must say so far we are finding some great ones! The following two recipes are our new favorites and the burger one is a great substitute for fast food and it taste so much better!

Love this LOW-CARB Burger! (Muscle and Fitness Magazine)
Serves 1
What you'll need:
1/3lb 15% (we used 10%) fat ground beef
Kosher Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
1 slice of pepper jack cheese (it calls for Gryuere... what is that? :D)
2 red lettuce leaves
2 slices tomato
2 tsp olive oil
1 yellow onion thinly sliced
3 sprigs thyme, leaves only
1 cup Balsamic vinegar
In a small saute pan, cook olive oil, onion and thyme until onion is golden-brown - at least 10 minutes.
Heat vinegar in a small saucepan until it boils. Reduce heat and simmer until vinegar has reduced by half or has a syrupy consistency. When it's done, it should coat the back of a wooden spoon.
Form ground beef into a patty and season with salt and pepper. Grill, or saute patty to desired donesness; melt cheese on top. Place patty on a lettuce leaf and top with tomato and 2 tablespoons of carmelized onion. Drizzle with 2 tsp of balsamic reduction. Cover with second leaf and serve immediately.

It just keeps getting better!
I apologize that I have not posted in a couple of weeks... Work has been crazy busy! Here are some new photos and videos! Madyson continues to grow; she is now making sounds back to us when we talk to her and on May 3rd she and I had a laughing fit with one another remincent of how Steph and I can get going sometimes... she had me in stitches! Unfortunately, she hasn't done it again but we continue to try. Madyson loves her daddy! She just lights up whenever he talks to her, I love watching them together. On the sleeping front, we have moved up her bedtime from 8pm to 7:30pm and then to 6:30pm, she seemed to be getting fussier earlier and for the past two days she has slept 9hrs and 10 1/2hrs! Maybe she knows I am sick or maybe she just needed an earlier bedtime; hopefully the latter. =) Keep your fingers crossed. She's doing great! Her early bedtime means a little more us time, as well as, time to do laundry, dishes, dinner and getting ready for the next day. =D
