Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge

Chocolate chip cookie dough fudge.  Yeah, yeah.  I know that doesn't sound like it goes with the all the diet talk from yesterday.


That would be correct, oh wise one.  But in my defense I did use fat free sweetened condensed milk.  You couldn't even tell.  And the sweetened condensed milk was still good enough to eat with a spoon.

Which I did.

But only 3 spoonfuls.

Then I covered it and put the rest in the fridge for later HAHAHA

And I only ate one piece of fudge.  It hit the spot. I'll send some home with Lauren for her and Graem to enjoy.

So, to even out the fudge, I made skinny chimichangas and steamed broccoli.  It was tasty.  Lauren and I weren't too sure about the chimichangas and how only 1/2 pound ground meat would make dinner, but it easily made 4 chimichangas.  I was surprised.  And now I have lunch for tomorrow :)


In case you're wondering, I got the recipe for the Skinny Chimichangas off of Kitchme  

Ingredients  (serves 4)

1/2 pound ground turkey
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
2 TBSP mild green chili pepper chopped
1/3 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese, shredded
4 (8 inch) fat-free flour tortillas

1.   Preheat oven to 400.
2.   Spray a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick spray; set aside
3.   Spray a medium nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; set over medium heat.
4.   Add the turkey, onion, garlic, chili powder, oregano, and cumin.
5.   Cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden soon until browned, about 6 minutes.
6.   Stir in the tomato sauce and the chiles; bring to a boil.
7.   Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are blended and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
8.   Remove from the heat and stir int he cheddar cheese.
9.   Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven to warm for 10 minutes.
10.  Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling into the center of each tortilla.
11.  Fold in the sides, then roll to enclose the filling.
12.  Place the chimichangas, seam-side down, on the baking sheet.
13.  Lightly spray the tops of the tortillas with nonstick spray.
14.  Bake until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes.  Do not turn.
15.  Per serving 6 smart points

Hope you enjoy it as much as Lauren and I did.  Tomorrow morning, I'm trying oatmeal.

So, until next time....

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant

I won an ARC of this on Goodreads - thank you so much!  I enjoyed it so much! My favorite romances are of the Regency period and this is that time period.  But that is where all similarities to others end.  Mrs. Russell (I just can't bring myself to call her Martha LOL) is a new widow who comes to realize she will loose her home and her dowry if she doesn't produce a male heir.  The kicker to this is that the late Mr. Russell's brother is a total jerk-face who has taken advantage of women in their home when he lived there as a young man.  Enter Mr. Theo Mirkwood...the rogue who has been sent to the country as a punishment by his father.  Mrs. Russell employs Mr. Mirkwood as her "stud" for a month so she can conceive a child and claim the inheritance.   Mrs. Russell believes she can't take any pleasure from their daily (later it becomes nightly) encounters.  Theo eventually changes her mind.  Martha is so set on her plan to thwart her late hus

So Harley has this interview to do

for church. She's suppose to interview one of the "older" members of the church about their Christmas memories and she'll have a presentation to do in front of the whole church at one of our Christmas programs. That is all fine and dandy, but she's in 3rd grade. Can you see her trying to take notes for when they answer her question of "what is your most memorable Christmas memory?" There is no way she can write even half way fast enough to get it down. I understand what they're trying to do and it's great! But what were they thinking asking a 3rd grader to do it? We have tons of 6th graders...let them do it. I'm tempted not to even bring her tonight for it. What should I do?
