Yummy

I've been on a baking kick these past few weeks. My family isn't complaining. Would you?
These are cake pops from Bakerella's recipe. Inside has red velvet cake. OHHH sooo yummy!!

These cupcakes below were my first try with a pastry bag and decorating tip.

And these are what I call brownie bites.

Having withdrawals

By January, I'm itching for some trails to open and the fun to begin, BUT only afew are open near here and a few of those are rated must higher with snow and ice. So it's now late Febuary and spring is upon us. Chris and I will lead a trail in March and then we have the MOAB trip in April, but the real every weekend kind of fun doesn't come until Mid-June. I don't want to wait any longer.

The lack of driving my Jeep is driving me crazy!!

An Addict to Blogs

The Pioneer Woman was the first blog I got attached to, but in a very short time (3 months) I now follow 25. Most are food blogs, 3 are Orthodox, 3 are herbal and 1 is about crafts. I'm an addict now.

I think as time goes by, I'll weed out some.

CookBook Crazy

I'm in this mode where I covet every cookbook I see. My Amazon wish list has over 20 cookbooks on it and I've deleted many and many more! I bought two today. The Martha Stewart Cupcake book and Cookie book. I have this big idea to cook and bake everyday. HA what a joke. I know better. I cook half the amount I wish to.

Maybe the more cooking paraphernalia I have the better the cook and baker I'll become.

Day 1 of Phase 3 of my diet

Today my diet changes from 500 calories to unlimied as long as I don't eat carbs and sugars. Which I've been doing anyway during Phase 2. I have to maintain my weight within 2 pounds for the next 3 weeks. I am sooo looking forward to adding eggs, milk, oils back into my everyday eating. Wish me luck, PLEASE.
