 8:00am  A grey-haired lady walks by the big Living room window that sits by my Work from Home desk, which reminds me to take the dog for a walk and that I have a haircut appointment this afternoon. I'm eating half of a whole wheat raisin bagel, a bit burnt on the one end, while my coffee pot does it's thing and the dishwasher runs last night's dishes. My daughter is asleep on the couch and my husband is working in his chair in the Family room.  Already my phone is buzzing in my jeans pocket. My neck to shoulder muscle on my right side aches from "doing too much". It's become my M.O. lately, doing too much. Sword class last night involved a lot of swinging, going from one cut to another and not always the easy path.  And yet what's on my mind again, is always on my mind, is the 35 extra pounds I carry. It was 20 yesterday, but thanks to Facebook, I realized I looked my best 12 years ago, when I got my black belt in karate, and I know I weighed about 145 th...

Apple Butter Snickerdoodles from Saved Recipes - Sept 17, 2022

Image
Baking Day!  I've been thinking of actually trying the saved recipes from my Facebook page and blogging them here.  I think it would be an interesting experiment to see if things turn out as well as they look. Maybe I'll tackle some Pinterest recipes too - if I can figure out how to actually get to their recipes...I swear it just takes you down a rabbit hole with some of them! A few days ago I ran across a Apple Butter Snickerdoodles  recipe. It's a completely FALL thing to make and I'm looking forward to eating it! The recipe is soft so it requires you chill before baking, which is a pain because my fridge is pretty stocked on Saturdays, but I made some room. The dough tastes tangy and a bit cinnamony which is really wonderful. I hope the cookie is just as good baked.  I'm watching the Witcher while I make them, wondering to myself if the monsters they have in this show are made up for the show or if Im just not well versed in monsters? Anyway, the first batch ...

Day 38: Shhh - hiding veg in your baked goods

Image
I'm sitting here, stuffy nose and watery eyes, wishing I had some brownies. I feel pretty bad for me. But I want to be healthy.  It's a constant struggle, ya know.  I'm pretty sure I drank all the tea in the universe yesterday.  And to ease my need for health,  I'm sitting here tinkering around with veggie baked goods recipes. I found some recipes that add vegetables to your baked goods. Oooh! Some of them sound really yucky, tho, like savory cauliflower cookies? I mean, it ceases to be considered a cookie when it stops being sweet, in my opinion. Don't you think? Also, it sounds gross if you're thinking of really big chunks of veggies in your brownies, but we're talking about pureeing or grating them and adding them to the batter.  Thing is, you don't notice them.  And they make the baked goods moist. Dry baked goods are yucky. Today I am going to try Zucchini Brownies.  Mostly because I have a lot of zucchini and I want ...
