http://togglewire.blogspot.com/2012/03/making-sandra-lee-proud.html
Sunday, March 25, 2012. Making Sandra Lee Proud. For a long time one of my favorite tv chefs has been Sandra Lee from the Food Network's Semi-Homemade. If you're not familiar with her, she shows you how to make great food that's not made from scratch . it's semi-homemade. When I came across the recipe for S'mores Cookies. On The Girl Who Ate Everything. I knew I wanted to try making them. Christy's recipe is great, but I wanted to make it even more spectacular by making it faster and easier. For the seco...

Togglewire: Go Go Bananas and Sour Cream

Saturday, February 11, 2012. Go Go Bananas and Sour Cream. Several years ago, a co-worker brought the most delicious banana bread to work. It was super moist and fabulous. She said the secret ingredient was sour cream. At the time, I wasn't aware of all the things sour cream is added to, so I was a bit shocked when she said that the banana bread contained it. For a banana bread recipe with sour cream. All Recipes is my favorite site for searching recipes. I decided to go with Cathy's Banana Bread. Mix th...

Sunday, May 5, 2013. WW Project - Getting Back on Track. A year ago, I started the WW Project. Things happen in our lives that may cause things to not go as planned. The last year has been an interesting one. I'll fill you in on some of those events at at later time. Left: June 2012 Right: April 2013. Emotional eating is my biggest hurdle. I've found that I just need to eliminate sweets, peanut butter and cheese from my house. They are major comfort foods for me. From DVF. I don't want to have to str...

Togglewire: Macarons Take Two
http://togglewire.blogspot.com/2012/03/macarons-take-two.html
Sunday, March 25, 2012. My current 'strange addiction' could be mastering French Macarons. I blame my fascination with French Macarons on my friend Tammy and Pinterest. Tammy has mastered making them; however, she is a full-time pastry chef. Through Pinterest, I found David Lebovitz. They are simply amazing. They share their knowledge through their sites. Second attempt at French Macarons - I give myself a B. On the blog Eat. Live. Travel. Write. What's working for me:. Leaving the egg whites out for abo...

Tuesday, January 1, 2013. WW Project - Month 9. It's been several months since I've shared an update on the WW Project. I'm technically starting my 10th month. The last few months have been a challenge. I'm down a total of 32 pounds (started at the end of April). I stopped losing when I stopped tracking my WW points. I'm determined to reach my goal, so I have some catching up to do. I should have been down 60 pounds or so by now. It didn't happen, and I'm not going to beat myself up about it.

Thursday, November 14, 2013. That Annoying Person That Talks About Their Dog 24/7. My Cavachon - Gertie Rae - at 10 weeks. While I was going through the divorce, I started to research dogs again. A few friends kept sharing - via Facebook - dogs that needed their 'forever home.' That led me to start following three different animal shelters and a few breed rescues. I had talked to my friend, Jennifer, about her Cavapoo. That led me to start following a few Cavapoo breeders. Crate train the puppy. Put a sh...
