Yummy!
You know, when I come up with things like this to eat, it makes it a little easier to be eating healthier. If I can just find a way to make veggies taste so much better, other than my already sneaking them into my smoothies.
For dessert tonight, I made more fake ice cream/frozen yogurt. This version was using Schwan's Golden Fruit Blend which is ( Read more... ) -
Maple Dijon Chicken
I'm trying to find more recipes that I can use with my Crock Pot. It's so hot here right now, so standing over the hot stove, or even using the oven, just seems like such overkill. It makes it so hot in the house, and then I have to run the air conditioner more just to keep a relatively cool temperature. Add to that the fact that cooking dinner ( Read more... ) -
Gardening!
So, I finally gave in and decided to let someone else clear out my flower beds. I tried, I really did, but the flower bed is so huge and was so overgrown that I just couldn't tackle it myself. I made Ken call to get them to come out for the estimate, because I hate talking on the phone to people that I don't know. They came out, said $225, I hired ( Read more... ) -

If it passes for ice cream for Jocelyn, I'm all over that.

Gotta get fit!
A couple of weeks ago, I went in to see my doctor for a check-up. I knew that I was way overweight, that my health was far from where it should be, but I didn't know what areas (other than weight-loss, obviously) that I should work on first. I had some bloodwork done, and got the results back. I learned:
- My sugar levels were fine. Not diabetic ( ( Read more... )

Horses, Goats, and Cows, oh my!
Today, we went to visit Jarred and Vicki so that Jocelyn could see their critters. They have a pair of baby goats and 6 or 7 adult goats, a cow, 2 horses, and 3 dogs. They live out in the Kiln area, just a bit north of where I grew up, and have several acres of land. Their house is a log cabin, and it's lovely. I always wanted to live in a cabin ( Read more... ) -

I'm so tired of smart-asses that always think they are right and always have to have the last word. -
Rocket!!
I am so proud of this thing. It took an hour to make the cake last night. An hour to make the icing 'just so' this morning, and three hours to decorate it tonight, but it's so lovely!
