There you have it. The first installment. I hope someone tries these....they are all very good and very easy. I am all about easy cooking! (Joe is the pastry chef in our house...he can make bread and piecrust from scratch and it is very good!)
We have been walking at night and getting some exercise, in addition to all the walking I do at work. I am down 5 pounds so far. Yippee! How are y'all doin?
Does anyone take a vitamin? I take the Dieter's Vitamin (walmart brand) and it has something in it that helps with my appetite and a shot of caffeine. Anne, you are the healthy eater aren't you? What do you take?
YUM, YUM!! I can't wait to try these. Thanks for all our hard work posting these!
ReplyDeleteum, which one is the precursor to the smoke detector? should i stock up on batteries?
ReplyDeletenahhhh, i don't cook. i know, i'm bad, but i just don't want to cook for one lady who doesn't eat much, and one picky kid.
I want to give two thumbs up for the Hamlin's dip. It's really, really, close to the actual stuff. An ex-manager told me that you have to make it 5 gallons at a time to get the real stuff.
ReplyDeleteG-mom's lemon dessert is excellente!
I'll post my weight loss maybe with before and after pics in Feb. I am counting on my Christmas pics looking fatter than my Valentine pics.

ReplyDeleteWell, I've lost 7 pounds this week (since last Saturday). I praying I continue my "self-control".
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you asked about vitamins (I just saw that part) - I only use Shaklee products. There is a link to it on my blog. I'm sure there are a few other good companys out there but I've been using it for about 17 years and hubby has been using it for 30 years. You can click on the link and read about their sceintific information and integrity.
I can't wait to try that first recipe. I'm going to have a house full of people today (after son's ballgame) - I wish I had prepared that to serve them. I guess I'll have to fix it and eat it myself.
BWAAAHAAAAAAABWAAAHAAAAAA
