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

Lover Unleashed by JR Ward

Are you reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series?  If you're not, can I ask why not?  And if you're not, I'm going to tell you that I think you need to stop reading this for a few minutes and go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble or some website and either buy you a paper copy or download a copy of Dark Lover and start reading the series (This is a series that HAS to be read in order).  This can wait.  Go do that and then come back and see what I'm going to say. So this was book 9 in the series.  Payne and Manny's story.  And while we got their story, I felt it was eclipsed by Payne's brother Vishous.  I love getting lost in the Brothers' world.  When I open the book and start reading, my children and home all fade away and I'm in Caldwell with them (is Caldwell, NY a real place?).  We got introduced to some new vampires in this installment and that was pretty cool.  There was NO Lesser pov here and that was more than pretty cool.  Just between us

Is it Supposed to be Chewy?

Good Morning!   Yes, I'm one of *those* people.  The ones who are unusually happy and greet everyone with a "good morning".  I use to teach with a lady that would look at me and say, "It's just morning.  There isn't anything good about it cause we're at school."  I'd just smile in response. Because, really?  What is there to say to that? So, I said I was going to try oatmeal this morning.  And I have.  And the jury is still out on whether or not I like it.  I know, you're wondering why I'd try oatmeal if I don't like it.  Or better yet, you're wondering how I've never tried oatmeal before.  Well, let me explain... I'm a Southerner.  Born in southeast Texas, raised in coastal Louisiana, currently shacking up in Alabama. I joke and say you couldn't get much more southern than me since I'm from below I-10 (if you don't understand that, look at the map up there). In fact, I've never lived north of
