Mmm mmm good!

I was thinking about old dinners we used to have when I was younger and one that comes to mind is Stuffed Green Peppers. Oh, I cannot tell you how much I love these! They are SO good! We'll have to make these sometime soon...I think we have had this conversation and R doesn't like the pepper part, but he'll eat the middle...I think I have a dinner idea for next week!

Another one is stuffed shells...oh those are so easy and so good!

That's all for this post...can you tell I'm bored at work parusing the internet for some tasty food?! I'm on an 'eating better kick'...well trying to be. So far so good. I just eat way too many sweets and too much junk food...I'm just trying to kick the habit! Wish me luck...

I Scream You Scream

Today's post is a tribute to something I'm sure all of you love! I-C-E-C-R-E-A-M!!! We are rather bored today at work and browsing through Keylime Cove's website. They have some unbelievable sundae/ice cream treats over there. One of them is $99.99! It's huge though... I find myself having a craving for some ice creamy goodness. I thought I'd dig up some interesting facts about the treat we love to eat during hot summer days, kind of like today (maybe we should go get some ice cream tonight, huh?!)! Here we go...

~The US is the #1 consumer of ice cream

~The top 3 ice cream flavors in order are Vanilla, Chocolate and Butter Pecan

~More ice cream is sold on Sunday than any other day of the week

~The average number of licks to polish off a single scoop ice cream cone is approximately 50

~The favorite topping is still chocolate syrup

That's all I have for now. Now, go get yourself a nice little cone or a big fat sundae!

Homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches

I had a craving for chocolate last night. We didn't have any real chocolate, but we did have brownie mix...and ice cream! :-) I thought I'd make some homemade ice cream sammies using brownie cookies and chocolate ice cream.

I made the brownie cookies (so good) and then gave up going any further. I got kind of tired.

This morning, I finished the process and they just look so good. They are currently chilling in the freezer waiting ever so patiently for us to eat them!

Don't they look so good?!...

Coffee malt

I don't know about you, but I'm a huge fan of coffee. HUGE!

I also love anything sweet...icecream, malts, etc...

I happened to drop on by to Blissfully Domestic (good blog for ideas...go read it...NOW!) to find they had posted a recipe for Coffee Malts!

YUM-O!!!




Have you ever had a Jamocha Shake from Arby's? Well that's what it's like. And if you haven't, well then you're missing out on something wonderful in your life! Go HERE if you want the recipe...I think I may have to make this tomorrow...you know, since it's super hot and muggy out, yeah, that's why I'll have to make it!!!

Cake

1. No, this is not our wedding cake

2. I haven't eaten ANY cake today and it's been sitting over by my desk!!!

Aren't you just SO darn proud of me? I sure am proud of myself! I have been at this diet thing since Monday mornin' and have done great, except for last night, when I allowed myself to have 3 pieces of pizza (the square kind). I only ate the crust on 1 1/2 pieces of it and just ate the cheese on the other 1 1/2 pieces (you have to live a little!). I don't like calling it a diet though, that makes it sound like I'm eating unbelievable BOring foods. It's not like it. I mean, sure, I'm not eating pancakes and doritos, etc. But I am constantly eating, which is a good thing (at least I think so). I haven't had many cravings for all the sweets that I used to LOVE to eat. Believe me, I would love to be chowing down on chocolate right now, but that's just not healthy to eat all the sweets that I'm used to eating. We had a little going away party for one of the guys at work (it's really not as big of a deal as it was made...he's going to the department down the hall). There were subs, pasta salad, chips and homemade cake. While I did contribute money to it...I DIDN'T EAT ANY OF IT!!! And it's sitting right by my desk! I wasn't even tempted really!!! I just thought I'd gloat a bit! Thanks for listening.

p.s. tonight is my first night taking the dog outside since the incident...wish me luck :-)

April Fools

I was hoping to have a really good April Fool's joke for you or an example of one, but nothing here...SORRY!!!

I thought I'd share this adorable picture with ya'll! The one on the left is our little Masey Moo! And the one on the right is Bella. In about 9 months, me and that little gal will have the exact same names! Bella McIntyre! Ha! Isn't she so cute though?! They are kissing cousins! It is really quite disgusting sometimes (I won't even go into detail!).

P.S. I started on the South Beach Diet today...wish me luck! I have been ruthless lately when it comes to snacking. I need to change my eating habits and drop a few pounds. I am feeling really icky about my body lately and I hate to exercise (I know, everyone does but it's something you have to do...). So I'm trying this. My dear friend Jenny did it in the past and lost a tremendous amount of weight. I'm going to give it a try! We shall see...
