I’ve come to really value “me time” over the past few years. Even though my kids are now all in school full time and I work from home in a quiet house, I still wake up early so I can get some quiet, creative me time in before the rest of the people in my house awake. My mornings absolutely depend on it. If I don’t get up a solid hour before my kids do and take care of myself first, the rest of my day seems to go to shambles. Quiet time to center myself each day is pertinent to my overall mood and happiness.

So, what does my morning “me time” look like? It’s a little different each day, but for the most part I follow the outline from my Miracle Morning schedule. I make time for stretching/yoga, affirmations, meditation, reading, journaling/planning and creative time.

A friend of mine recently told me she has banned the word “busy” from her life.

When I am asked to bring something to a party, I tend to be your main dish or dessert girl. For some reason, appetizers have never been my forte. This is why I challenged myself to spend more time this year perfecting my appetizer skills. It’s not like appetizers are all that hard to make. I guess I just feel like sometimes they require more creativity than I have the skills for.

When Yoplait contacted me about creating a recipe using their new Lactose Free line of yogurt, I thought it was a great opportunity to hone in on my appetizer-making skills.

I went with a recipe that can be adapted and tweaked to put your own spin on flavors. Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups are full of spicy buffalo chicken, cooled off a bit with shredded cabbage and a creamy lactose-free yogurt sauce, and wrapped up in a cute little bite-size wonton cup. They are a bit of appetizer perfection in a spicy little handheld cup. Enjoy!
