Shoutin’ from the Rooftop

This is an oops. I thought I had posted this review some time back. I bought this over 6 weeks ago and already threw away the can. I found this new product from Cool Whip. It is Cool Whip in a can like Redi-Whip. The container is cute but the taste doesn’t measure up. There [...]

It has been a super busy week in our house this week. Sydney turned six yesterday. I cannot believe that my baby is six. We also bought school supplies for her. Kindergarten will be starting in a little more than two weeks. I am secretly not ready for school to start. We have had a [...]

Well, my weigh-in today wasn’t what I had hoped for! I knew that the TOM would be a possible blip in the scales and it was. I am trying not to let it get to me and so far today my eating has been on track. It has felt a little strange not posting as [...]

A few weeks ago, I told you about this great new recipe that my friend Tammy came up with. She cooks a lot like me and just dumps things in. So when I made it the first time, I just dumped. No measuring. It turned out great. Well, that is a problem because I needed exact measurements [...]

Lawry’s Baja Chipotle Marinade: I found this at Walmart & Meijer along with the other marinades/BBQ sauces. It is a blend of chipotle peppers, cumin, oregano, garlic & a hint of lime juice. Funny thing is, I didn’t use this as a marinade but as a sauce. My recipe-sharing friend, Tammy, told me of her [...]

This is the new recipe that I promised. I made these on July 4th along with my grilled sweet potatoes. The whole meal was a hit with my family & my father-in-law. My mom made it the same night and said that it was one of the best new recipes she has tasted in awhile. [...]
