Nikki's Quest to be Healthy

I'm a 33 year old who was recently put onto cholesterol medication and wants to get back off of it so I am changing my eating habits and working on healthier lifestyle. So please come join me on this quest to find a healthier me. :) **THIS IS A SIDEBLOG. MY MAIN ONE IS BEETLEJUICELOVER**

Went to lowes with my stepdad. He talked me out of buying the pipe I wanted to use to hold my paints.

Wanted to do something like that.

I did get a new mailbox (last time they were out of the one I wanted), a fan for my craft room (the one in there is broken), and some sandpaper and spray paint.

Then we went to Micheal's and I got some storage for my thread and Halloween goodies.

Ow.

Redid my hair last night so I can look pretty-ish in my birthday pictures tomorrow.

Told my step-dad I'm tired of having to rely on others all the time to get anything done in my house. It's ridiculous, my friend is literally building her house (she just finished putting drywall up) and I can't even hang curtains without someone because I don't have the right equipment.

So he took my to Lowe's, helped me pick out a drill, a set of bits, curtain rods and a piece to fix my running toilet. Walked me through changing the bits on the drill and how to change out the battery and stuff.

Then I took him to lunch for an early father's day gift.

Now, its time to relax. Going to take a quick shower then use my last bath bomb.

Another Misfits Market box was delivered today. I can't wait to make the artichokes tomorrow.

So Widow's auntie got her a new toy..

[nikkisquest]

Gonna bleach my hair tonight. *cross fingers* I've never bleached my whole head before. (He'll, I only did the tips once a year ago)

Then we get to dye it a the fun colors!

Left work early to go on a nature trail with my friends who came down from Massachusetts. Here are some of my favorites I took. Although the last one gives me mixed feelings.

Blanket update: got 3/4th of the way done with blue, realized purple was messed up. Undid ALL the blue and a little over half of the purple. Redid all the purple and blue:

Now working on the green, realized I messed up again and unraveled part of it (first two pictures). Now to redo all that before I leave work.

Guys! I tried Misfits and used a bunch of it to make dinner plus I got some leftovers for lunch for the next two days.

When I was little my mom’s meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didn’t like anyone else’s, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay

Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so here’s the recipe

4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger

1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix

1 TBs ketchup

1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,

1 Tbs bbq sauce

1 Tbs steak sauce

1 egg

mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if you’re feeling dangerous)

You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if it’s just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf

here’s a mashed potato recipe from my homophobic mother that i swore to never share that would pair perfectly!

(6 servings)

-2lbs red potatoes

-1 cup butter (2 sticks)

-1 cup cream cheese (1 pack)

-Chives (optional)

-Salt & Pepper to taste

1. drop those bad boys (potatoes) in a big ol pot. U don’t even have to chop them just wash them

2. boil til soft!

3. Drain

4. Mash (usually they’re small enough you can use a fork if u don’t have one of those squashers) until its a pretty chunky mix

5. add the other stuff. Keep mashing

I like my mashed potato consistancy more lumpy but its all up to you!! Peel the potatoes or keep them on, it literally makes the creamiest fluffiest mashed potatoes which she always served with the nastiest fuckin meatloaf

So after spending hours combing through the recipes in the comments of this post I have created a cookbook. Feel free to use it. The link should work for everyone, its the only file on the google drive! I have referenced all of the recipes I used, all of which are from this thread. I made it for myself, but figured after all that work I should probably share. Happy spite cooking!

I bought flowers and planted them. Let's see if they survive. I'm also going to try and work on my yard this weekend. 🤞
