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....

My Reading Habits

I am an avid book reader.  I have even been known to read a good bit of fanfiction (I'm a Twifan...yes, I admit that in public).  Since joining Goodreads I've come to love to do reading challenges.  In case you're like my best friend and have no clue what that might be, let me explain.  A reading challenge can be as simple as setting a reading goal for the year.  Or it can be as complex as one I'm doing next year that is an Artist Color Wheel Challenge - find book covers that are mainly the colors on the color wheel and are the shades of the grey scale. Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog  http://www.bookchickcity.com/  and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year.  I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books.  You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read myste...

Still Standing by Kristen Ashley

  I have a love/hate relationship with Kristen Ashley's books.  I've been reading her stuff since 2012.  Some of them, I have absolutely LOVED - The Gamble, I am looking at you.  Some I have quit reading without even making it to the half way point - the Honey series *shivers* just NO.  I have felt that the last few books I have read/attempted to read by her just haven't been in her style.  Kristen Ashley is wordy and descriptive.  Her characters are some times so aggravating, but at the same time you love them.  Well, with Still Standing I think she has gone back to that type of writing that her followers all across the world fell in love with. Yes, Clara was a bit trying at times.  She seemed a bit lost, and with good reason.  But she had such a good heart.  And let's not forget Buck and his alpha-ness.  But under that jerk he was sweet and loyal.  I loved that he spoke in full sentences - if you are a KA reader, you TOT...

WIP Wednesday

 Today is Wednesday, right?  My days are always off after a holiday.  I'm thankful for the rest and family time, but I'm lost on days.  So, we're just going to go with today being Wednesday, even if it isn't (I just checked and it is!) So, with that being said, here's what I'm working on this week in cross stitch.  First up is my June Cross Stitch Camp piece.  Sherri, The Colorado Stitcher on Instagram and Youtube, hosts Cross Stitch Camp each summer.  Each month, June, July and August, has a theme.  June was stitch something with a bird.  I chose Every Day Things by Heart in Hand (this was released this year at Nashville Market).  I am soooo close to being done that I will finish it in July.  This is on 16 count wren by Picture this Plus with all the called for floss. July's Cross Stitch Camp theme was something that grows.  I liberated Autumn 1831 by Samplers Not Forgotten from my wish list on 123stitch.  I'm...
