Hey guys!
Welcome to 2017 Mel.
Haven't updated in forever because, "mom life". I was blessed to travel a lot last year with my family, move into a new house, and improve my fitness lifestyle. This year, I'm focused on expanding my family, as we are a family of 3 with my son. I am praying, using laws of attraction, and have faith it will happen this year. As long as my babies are healthy, me and my husband are healthy, and we are happy - I am happy. I debated, if I wanted to go personal with my blog, be a little impersonal with just general tips but I will go with the flow.
Trying.
So around my birthday last August, me and my husband decided to stop pre-preventing pregnancy by stopping my mini-pill contraceptive. I was taking Jolivette after my first visit from the doctors after having my son.
Pros: While breastfeeding, stopped my period for almost 2 years.
Cons: I did not know if and when I would have a period again, thus now as I am trying to conceive I have been irregular.
I do not know if it has to do with taking the mini pill, or breastfeeding strictly for 2 years, but I am ready for you 2nd baby. I am praying for you. I was stressed 3 months trying post stopping the pill, but I am more relaxed. When the timings right, it will happen.

Hi guys! Trying to focus more on blogging/vlogging. I want to incorporate my DIY and cooking mama recipes.
Last week I tried a recipe (tweaked it a bit), I found on Facebook. You know what I'm talking about, when you see your friend's liking or posting those darn appetizing, easy, Facebook recipes. So I had to test it out.
This is green tea chocolate chip cookies. My version contains coconut oil, instead of butter. I also tried green tea matcha latte powder from Trader Joe's. By using this green tea mix, it allowed me to reduce the amount of refined sugar, and brown sugar because of the sweetness of green tea latte mix. It turned out to be a win-win! I am a matcha green tea addict, so definitely will be making more of these cookies. Eating it, will be in moderation. ;-)
Green Tea Chocolate Chip Recipe
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
7 tablespoons matcha (green tea) powder
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups bittersweet chocolate chunks, divided
I didn't chill the dough beforehand like recipe states, just put it right in the oven for 9 mins @ 350 degrees.
What I like about this recipe, is you can tweak it to your liking. Instead of all-purpose flour, you can test out wheat flour, or even coconut flour, etc.
Alright I will be posting more this year, on my blog and my Youtube channel!
Follow me on Pinterest, Instagram, Etc.
XOXO - Mel.
