She's back!

Hello dear blog world! I am back! Currently on summer vacation and loving every minute of it. :)

Here's what I have eaten so far, today:


Breakfast- 1/4 c Kashi GOLEAN cereal with Stoneyfield Farm low fat french vanilla yogurt, cinnamon, and 1 banana

Lunch- 6" Veggie Delight sub (Subway) with everything (no tomato, no jalapeno), provolone, light vinegar and oil, salt and pepper


No idea what's on the menu for dinner tonight. That's understandable though - we may be moving house soon and there is much packing that needs to be completed!

See you again tomorrow! :D

um.

So... Well... It's been a while.

Hi.

Certain activities have kept me from logging my food. But... I'll be back.

I promise.

the hotSACKS giveaway @ JANE4girls.

Hey y'all! Just thought you should know about the amazing giveaway over at JANE4girls! She's giving away a 5 bag set of Ultimate hotSACKS with matching Meshy hotSACKS! They're ADORABLE!

Sign up today!

the project.

Here's my goal....

I plan on documenting every piece of food that I consume. Yes, this is possible! I have not necessarily been making the wisest decisions when it boils down to WHAT I am eating.

This is a problem.

So, starting tomorrow, I shall take pictures of everything - or almost, anyway. We shall see.

To kick things off, I would like to share with you a cookie recipe I found a few years ago. These are delicious!

Cranberry Orange Cookies
from bakingsheet.

2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1 large egg
zest of one large orange (about 1 tbsp)
3/4 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 350F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar, beating with an electric mixer until light. Beat in egg and orange zest. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture, stirring only until just combined. Stir in the cranberries.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls (about 1 1/4-inch balls) onto prepared cookie sheets and bake for 9-12 minutes, until edges are very lightly browned. Cool for 3-4 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes about 4 dozen.



Enjoy! See you tomorrow!

the beginning. take two.

Most All of my posts have been deleted and I am starting over.

I need to take this blog in a new direction!

More soon!
