ALERT: Food Recall Due to Listeria Bacteria + Avian Bird Flu Outbreak

Hi everyone. I had a something different planned for today, but that’s been detoured, as I wanted to quickly alert you to two public health situations you need to be aware of in my latest video:

  • Dole packaged salads have been recalled due to the Listeria bacteria. Listeria symptoms include diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues. It is treated with antibiotics, however, this current outbreak has already caused one death. The outbreak has been going on since July 2015, but it’s only recently this month that the outbreak has been traced back to Dole.

  • Turkey products are in short supply due to the spread of avian influenza (bird flu) among turkey populations. Although this type of flu is not common in humans, it is still possible for a person to catch. It is airborne — spread through coughing & sneezing. Please be aware of this, as avian flu is prevalent at this time.

I came across this old pic of me on a date with the hubby…

date night
We needed to buy a machete before going to dinner, yet I was curiously drawn to the pick axe. I hated those jeans.

The only reason my youngest child (out of my 4 dang kids) ever shows up on my blog is because the other kids aren’t too keen on being in my blog-pictures. Ummmph. So here you have it: Me, Gracie and Matthew at the orchard.

millburn orchardsGracie was chomping on an apple cider doughnut and wearing makeup for her “Nerdy Fashionista” costume.

Grace has been having so much fun with her Youtube videos. If you have kids, they might enjoy watching her videos, so check them out and subscribe to her channel!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

Nope… I’m not pregnant, so please get your mind out of the gutter.

If you’re a long time reader of my blog, I’m sure you’ve noticed that I no longer strictly post about fitness and weight loss anymore. My blogging-passions have evolved.

Yum Yucky is shifting gears to a Lifestyle & Wellness blog. My new site design is underway and will launch before December 2015. I’m so dang excited about that!

I started blogging back in 2009. I want to thank everyone who has been with me through the journey, and I thank my new readers as well. You truly mean to world to me and I love you!

I hope you enjoy the upcoming new site design and the expanded Wellness & Lifestyle content. You will still get fitness and weight loss motivation, plus a whole lot more. I can’t wait to roll it out, and it’s coming soon! Hugs and love to you all. xoxoxo

Barnes & Noble Wants to Fatten Up Your Children

Well, yes. I am being a drama queen. But please allow me this precious moment to complain with petty arguments that you may just agree with.

BN couponI am part of B&N’s discount club. You pay $25 a year to get discounts off most of your purchases. We love it. It’s extremely worthwhile.

They also send your kid a free birthday “gift” each year: a coupon for a cookie or cupcake at their cafe’. But why not send my kid a coupon for $2 or $3 off of a children’s book instead? Why not encourage my kid to read books since their business is all about books? C’mon now!

I’m just busting Barnes & Noble’s bookish ballz, of course. My family really does love the store. And ya, we will use the coupon…maybe…eh, probably not.

I’d rather have the bookstore encourage my kids’ reading with book rewards instead of free desserts. Your thoughts?

Family Pictures: My Granddaughter and Greedy Baby. Plus, My Cousin Is In the Running for Miss Nevada!

Since I can’t get my sons, the hubs, or oldest daughter to cooperate with pictures, I’m happily loading up on pics of my granddaughter, Greedy Baby and my lovely cousin today!

First up is the granddaughter.

helena sue

She’s 7 months old now and no longer whiney. Hallelujah! The child has the cutest fat rolls on her legs I’ve ever seen. She’s all cushy & squeezy ‘n stuff and I love her. I’m babysitting this weekend, but I’ve requested that the child poop before she gets to my house. The poopy diaper part I’m not excited about. GAH!

And then there’s Greedy Baby.

salad

Even though she was bullied at school for eating salad at lunch, she is still on the salad grind and I’m damn proud of her. As you can see from the pic, she’s a little bit cray-cray like her momma.

I’m also soooo excited to share the news that my beautiful younger cousin, Lindsey Pinapfel, is in the running for Miss Nevada United States!

lindsey

As you can see, my family is very diverse.  It’s one of the things I love about my extended clan. The pageant will be held in Las Vegas on April 19th. I wanted to share this here to show my support for Lindsey and to tell her that I love her.

Have a fabulous weekend, everybody! xo
