Wow! You are all so special. I can’t tell you how much the phone calls, emails, blog messages, & guestbook entries mean to me. I am so touched! I am so glad to have “met” so many of you and I am more than happy to help you along the way. At anytime, (as some of you already know) feel free to email me when you need a dose of encouragement. Like I have said so many times before, I haven’t arrived. It is still a daily thing. I don’t know if a person ever gets to the point that they have arrived. I don’t struggle like I did so many times in the past. I know what to do. I do have the tools needed and the hope that I can make this a life long process.
Well, I got off 2008 on the right foot. I got on the treadmill. Big accomplishment since I hadn’t been on it in two months due to a bad chest cold/cough that I couldn’t shake. I got in a 2 mile walk with 1/2 mile run thrown in there. So I am happy.
We had a new recipe last night. I am trying to decide what to call it. I am thinking along the lines of “Messy Enchiladas”. At the last minute, we invited some friends over to eat with us because one of them was a little stir crazy from being stuck in the house all day. (Hi, Kyle!). I wasn’t so sure that the kids would like it. But Kyle (10 years old) had two helpings and asked his mom to get the recipe. So I guess it was a hit. 
I am also going to post my version of Asian Slaw. There are many different versions of this recipe floating around. I just adjusted some things, took out some fat, etc. Everyone that has tasted it says that it is as good as the original & they really don’t miss the ingredients that I took out.
Again, thank you for all of the emails etc. I am emailing back everyone. If you posted a comment on my guestbook but didn’t join, I apologize for not emailing you back but I have no way of knowing your email address. 
For those of you that said you have recipes that you are willing to share, bring them on! I LOVE new recipes as you can see. Feel free to email them to me at Kristen2309@gmail.com
I hope that you have a wonderful day! Count those points! Kristen
