My kids know my initial response to anger, tears, frustration, etc is to breathe.
Why? Taking a minute or two to breathe can lower blood pressure, improve anxiety, lower depression, increase focus, and better overall wellness.
For Fit Friday today we are going to talk breathing exercises.
People generally breathe through their abdomen (Diaphragmatic breathing) or through their chest (Thoracic breathing). The slow deep breathing that we discuss and encourage is diaphragmatic breathing. This type of breathing is a type of deep, even breathing that engages your diaphragm, allowing your lungs to expand and creating negative pressure that drives air in through the nose and mouth, filling your lungs with air.
Why we love Chipotle Pineapple BBQ Beef Sliders Recipe
Chipotle Pineapple BBQ Beef Sliders are just perfect for fall gatherings, for everything from tailgating to back yard gatherings, they're awesome! It's the beginning of slow cooker time of year around our house so, this recipe is even more awesome. Chipotle Pineapple BBQ Beef Sliders can actually be served on normal sized buns, of course! I love the little slider buns because they're just so dang cute, but if your hungry belly is more into big sized then regular buns will work great too.

- fresh pineapple
- chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

Slow Cooker Tips & Tricks
Let's just have a little talk about our slow cookers here for a minute. . . As most of you know I'm a graduate of the Culinary School and one of the classes that's required is Sanitation and Safety. During this class we had an eye-opening chat about slow cookers and how they can be the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and pathogens.- If not careful they can be the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and pathogens.
- Preheat your crock pot just like you preheat your oven so plug it in and turn it to the high setting to get it nice and hot from the start for cooking. After all there is only one little probe heating the whole slow cooker!
- Add everything into the crock pot as warmed up as it can be, to cut down on the getting-the-food-hot portion of cooking, this is where you need to be cautious and make sure it is all hot and up to cooking temperature in 2-3 hours.
- If food stays between 41 degrees and 135 degrees for 4 hours, then it has to be thrown out because the bacteria and pathogens have had much too much time to grow and a food borne illness is a likely result.
- If you add meat; be sure it is thawed and NEVER added frozen, if it’s beef or pork brown it first.
- Add liquids hot ie: like use HOT water or warm up any liquids in the microwave first then add them in already hot.
- Spray the ceramic insert with cooking spray to make clean up a snap! It’ll wipe out with no sticking!

Fit Friday with Miss Nichole
As my five year old got off the bus after school today she seemed a little quiet, definitely not her usual bubbly self that usually greets me ready to race home. I asked her if she was ok and watched as she took some slow deep breaths, bottom lip quivering the whole time before she nodded. I quietly picked her up and carried her home and listened to her breathing the whole way.

Two of my favorite breathing exercises are Belly Breathing and Box Breathing.
Take some time to focus on your breathing this weekend.
