Weekend Update!

The cold weather found us!

We knew it couldn't last forever, but wow -- 

we did enjoy the 50 and 60 degree temps in December!

Record books people!

But rain, and lots of it,  hit on the weekend

and a cold wind blew in too!
How do people where it rains all the time
handle it??
If instead of rain - it was snow --
we would have had over 12 inches of snow and likely a day off school.
Someone is disappointed!

Though cooking is not exactly my forte',

I knew just what was needed . . .

my Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup!

Served with a toasted English muffin

and it's one of those yummy warm meals

you want over and over 

(or at least I do)!

Bonus -- it is low fat and still

incredibly yummy!

Not low fat but one of my favorite holiday

treats -- Fantasy Fudge!

And Marble Cheesecake!

Bring on the holiday treats!

Counting calories can wait for January!

Happy Friday - Hello August!

Say it ain't so!

How did it get to be August already???

Noooooo!

Slow down summer!

Maddy and I had a fun last day of July yesterday!
We went mini-golfing and borrowed Miss Kamree

to go with us!

Oh my word!

It was a blast!

We loved golfing with that girl!

And bonus -- she made a hole-in-one

and so did I! 

Amazing!

In other news,

Southern Living has reported that it's
 National Cheesecake Day!

Shocker (since I love all goodies) but I am

not a huge fan of cheesecake!

However . . .
when chocolate is involved - I'm there!
I don't make it often - but I love
this Chocolate and Vanilla Cake!
It's called just "cake" but it is really cheesecake.

Adding this to my weekend list of things to do!
Make a cake!

Happy August
Happy Weekend!
