Instapot Honey Sesame Chicken and Rice Bowl
Another instapot recipe win for our family. I even substituted cauliflower rice for the jasmine rice. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the sauce was a nice consistency. Keegs said he thought it was spicy, but the rest of us completely disagreed. In all, I only spent 35 minutes preparing and cooking; and any recipe that is yummy and quick/easy to prepare is a win in my book. This meal will definitely be added to our monthly rotation. Also, I didn’t realize I didn’t have enough soy sauce, so I did equal parts soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Couldn’t taste the Worcestershire sauce at all. It tasted like…

Battling Infertility
Rewind 15 years and you will find a very different Katie Marie. Within my first year of marriage, I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). At the time it wasn’t completely detrimental news. Mr. Man and I were still college students and weren’t looking to start a family until at least one of us had our bachelor’s degree and started a career with health benefits. Receiving the diagnosis of PCOS wasn’t something I thought about too much until a year after when we decided we wanted to begin trying to start a family. After a lot of medical testing, 2 major moves with the Air Force, and some pretty physically…

Chore Charts
I am a list maker…I have a compulsive need to check things off, I even add tasks I’ve already completed to my list just to check it off. My planner is filled to the brim with lists. So…it only makes sense to force my check-list compulsion on my boys. Of course, it has absolutely nothing to do with the little issue of the amigos having selective hearing and a mom who is super tired of repeating herself over…and over…and over……… I even went all out this time with the charts and had them laminated. Now to make sure the novelty of them don’t wear off too quickly with the 3 amigos.…

Hawaiian Kalua Pork-Instapot
I.AM.LOVING…my instapot!!!!!! Best appliance ever! My mom even showed me how to hard boil eggs in it yesterday. Tonight I made this recipe and it was a huge hit with all 4 boys…well the 3 amigos and Mr. Man. Mr. Man kept saying the pork smelled like bacon…can’t go wrong with bacon smell. The only 2 changes I made with the recipe was that I had to cook the pork roast for 65 minutes for it to be fork tender and I added 2 cloves of garlic minced to the marinade. It even tasted amazing with cauliflower rice.

A Solemn Assembly
In my short (although feels long) 35 years on this earth, I have lived through 6 Latter-Day Prophets service to the Church. (Kimball, Benson, Hunter, Hinkley, Monson and now Pres. Nelson.) I do not remember participating in any Solemn Assembly, except for when Pres. Thomas S. Monson was called and sustained. Taking part in the rare Solemn Assembly is a special occasion and an honor. Yesterday morning in the first session of the 188th biannual General Conference, the 15.8 million members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints had the opportunity to participate in a Solemn Assembly and sustain Pres. Russell M. Nelson as the current Prophet and…
