Cauliflower based dough

Tonight we made cauliflower based dough for cheese bread and pizza! It is kind of time consuming but I think it is a great (not to mention super healthy) alternative to normal dough! Enjoy!

Time out for women!

This weekend was much needed! After our car breaking down in the middle of the Walmart parking lot (ideal place, I know lol). I got to go down to Salt Lake and attend Time Out For Women with Breanna! Such fun having a girls night out! Such awesome speakers and amazing music! Then got to spend the night at the most comfy place ever! The pillows were so squishy! Then we got to wake up and spend the day being uplifted again! Thanks so much to Dave for sending us there, it was amazing!

Banana pancake

Made super easy pancakes, seriously so easy! 1 banana mixed with 2 eggs and add some cinnamon if you want. Or if you are like me and like some chocolate chips, add those too! Enjoy!

Pinterest inspired snacks

Today I spent some time making some snacks ideas I have gotten from Pinterest. They were super easy to make (no joke) and super tasty!

Here is the link for the cheese crackers!

I tried both after making them and I was surprised with how much I actually enjoyed the cucumber sandwich. I liked the added crunch it brought! These snacks are healthy and simple! Enjoy!

Chicken salad

This was too easy. Chicken patty in the oven for 12 minutes. While it cooked i prepped my salad and then when it was done, cut it up into strips and add your favorite dressing (I used ranch)!

Enjoy!

Chicken & Broccoli

I worked this weekend so dinners become tough when I'm gone all day! But thank goodness for a crock pot and a sweet husband! Nate put the chicken in and let it sit for about 4 hours. Then when I got home I cooked the broccoli, added the cheese, and cream of mushroom soup. Pop it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 and bam dinner made! It was super easy, not the quickest dinner especially when you are hungry lol but it was easy so that made up for it! Link below! Enjoy!

Easy Italian Chicken Bake

Tonight we had Easy Italian chicken bake! The hardest part of this meal was smelling how tasty it was as it baked. It was torture! And oh it was so worth the wait! I was a bit hesitant having pesto on it but I am glad I did it because it was delicious!  Try it out for yourselves, seriously super easy! 4 ingredients!
Enjoy!

Apple crumble & caramel cheesecake

Now I have to admit that the cheesecake was bought for this dessert but could easily be made from this recipe on here! I did make the topping which I was shocked was surprisingly super easy! I took it to my Relief Society (church function) and it was a hit!
So the recipe is for cheesecake bars, the actual photo on here didn't have a link on it so I just used the bars recipe and it worked fine! I didn't coat the caramel on like in the picture for the bars, I drizzled it on! Enjoy!

Grilled turkey and cheese lettuce wraps

Tonight we had grilled turkey and cheese with pineapple lettuce wraps. Super easy and healthy too! We used the griddle to grill turkey and pineapple (separately). Then added cheese on top of the turkey. Once grilled to liking we took it off and set it in lettuce and wrapped and enjoyed!
Here is the link if you want to use bread instead of lettuce! Enjoy!

Jaxson's Birthday Party

Saturday afternoon after the race we had a party for Jaxson. He got lots of cool Legos, super hero outfits, and a cool race track. Papa pop (aka my dad) helped the kids out it together, or should I say they helped him lol. It was hilarious watching him! Fun afternoon! Happy Birthday Jaxson!

Jaxson's run

Today my family participated in a run to raise money/awareness for Autism. My nephew Jaxson has a former Autism so for his birthday this weekend we decided to do this as a family. Jaxson and Brooklyn ran (with the help of their parents) the mile run. Then us adults ran either a 5k or 10k. I had set a goal to run the 10k without stopping. I finished my race in 1 hour and 5 minutes, running the ENTIRE time :) We love you Jaxson!

Dinner out to the Habit

Tonight we went and saw Breanna's new office and then went out to a hamburger joint called the Habit! I got the original hamburger with sweet potato fries! Super tasty and great company! Thanks Dave and Breanna for hanging out with us!

Ham & cheese roll ups

Tonight we had ham & cheese roll ups with green beans as a side! It was quick yet tasty!  You take crescent rolls (I used great value brand), sliced turkey (or meat of your choice), and shredded cheese.  Lay out the roll, fold the meat slice in half and add some shredded cheese to the middle of it. Then roll up as normal. Stick in oVenice at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. You can keep them in for longer if you like them a bit darker. If you want, you can mix some veggies in it too. Nate had asked for some broccoli but sadly we didn't have it. But it is an idea for future times! While they cooked I made some green beans to go as a side dish. Enjoy! -The Schott's

Crunchy nacho hot dogs

Tonight for dinner we attempted a new recipe. It was a little different using nacho chips on crescent rolls but it was actually really tasty!

Sunday!

Finally had a Sunday off and got to enjoy going to church with my love! Love being able to spend time with him and be a part of the gospel! -The Schott's 

Flash back to the 80's

We had the chance to dress up for Halloween at work but since I still needed to wear my scrubs I decided to go with a little flash back to the 80's as my costume. You can't really notice it in this picture (taken at 6 a.m. before headed to work so I look dead tired) but I had TONS of make up on (at least for me it was a ton)! But everyone seemed to like it so I will say even though I was not born/nor raised in the 80's my costume was a success! Thank you Google images for giving me some ideas lol!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin carving Halloween 2014

Tonight we (Nate) carved our pumpkin! We decided to keep it simple and do an "S" for Schott (we are creative huh ;p). It was quite the ordeal lol, we had previously bought a pumpkin just a few days earlier but we must have chose a bad one because it molded before we could carve it. So I went and got this cute little one! Nate did such a great job with the carving! 

Happy Halloween -The Schott's

Anniversary trip to TEXAS!

We got to spend our first year anniversary in San Antonio/Austin Texas. We got to go back to where Nate served his mission! I finally got to eat all the food Nate has been talking non stop about ;)
I was able to meet some of his converts, visit the Texas capital, and go sight seeing all over San Antonio and Austin! It was such a blast! We loved getting to go, Nate really enjoyed being able to go back to his second home! I will have to agree that Texas has some really delicious food! I ate so much, I was sooooo stuffed! The mighty fine shakes were probably my favorite! Famous bluebell ice cream mixed with their homemade chocolate! Loved getting to spend this vacation with my love!

First year of marriage!

I don't want to overwhelm but I wanted to post a few photos from our first year of marriage! We are crazy busy and honestly rarely see each other but when we do, we try to make the best of it! We love hanging out with our families and going out for date nights! We are currently living in Logan, Utah attending school at USU so we are exploring all the different restaurants here in Logan! We've also went exploring up in the mountains at the various hikes around the area!

Best day ever! 8.10.2013

The day I became a Mrs. was probably the best day ever! From getting to kneel across the alter from my husband to seeing all our family and friends throughout the day was amazing! I loved everything about our wedding, thanks to everyone who helped out it ran super smoothly! (shout out to my mom for all her hard work). We loved getting to relax and party it up with all our friends and family from all over!
I can't believe that this was over a year ago-crazy how time flies when you are having fun! We love being married! Here are a few of our favorite photos from our wedding day!

A little Intro

So I opened up my blog tonight http://www.thehgirls.blogspot.com/ and it wouldn't let me log on. :( I couldn't believe it! I am taking this as a sign that it is time to move on from my old one I used growing up and to create a new one to show the adventures of Nate and I. 

I suppose an intro is in order:

Nate and I have known each other since we were 12.

We grew up 10 minutes apart.

started "hanging out" when we were 15

at 16 we parted ways

Then the summer before my senior year, Nate called me up to ask me out. I thought it was a prank but accepted. We have dated ever since :)
