Day 253 Pretty Good Sundays Rock

Today was a really great day, I hung out with my mom, went to church, had a nap, met up with my cousins who I never ever see, and now I'm back at home in my big comfy chair. I'm pretty sure that today was supposed to happen just as it did and now I'm looking forward to a great week. Tomorrow night, I think I'm going to make tortilla soup and freeze some of it for future chowage...is that a word? Tonight I'm just kicking back with some iced tea and Sun chips to round out the day. Oh, I did eat cake today, which I promised myself I wouldn't do, due to my blood sugar content being right up there with a pitcher of Country Time lemonade. I think, tonight I'm going to do some research on natural blood sugar cures, I love me some all natural Pagan voodoo solutions....not really into voodoo, just wanted to see if you were paying attention, herbs are not magical, they're practical. Here's to a fabulous Sunday and the best week yet!

Day 56 Macaroni And Magic Potions

Today was the working lunch potluck, the macaroni was good, but for the fact that it was cold by the time chow time rolled around. Sitting through hours of updates, accolades, reprimands, and the ever evolving world of mental health care, all the while, just beyond reach of the cookies, was a tad irritating. My salvation came later in the form of  super delicious guacamole and chips and raspberry injected lemon cupcakes. I'm making it my mission in life to buy a cupcake injector and to morph into some sort of half human, half cupcake queen, master of tiny cakes. After work, I  shared some of my leftover two ton macaroni medley with my family, who deemed it delicious, after reheating and re moistening. Here is the recipe, large enough for a group and then some:

Baked Macaroni and cheese
2 bags of macaroni
3 C of shredded Gruyere cheese
3 C of Shredded Colby Jack cheese
1 pint of heavy cream
1/2 stick of butter
1 C of flavored cream cheese (I used garlic)
1/4 cup of breadcrumbs
Boil macaroni as directed on package. In a sauce pan, mix cream, butter, cheese, and cream cheese until melted and smooth, mix with cooked macaroni. Pour into a large baking pan and mix well. If you want to, add additional cheese on top of the macaroni, provolone would be a good topping, although I did not initially use this. Sprinkle the top, lightly with breadcrumbs and bake at 350, until bubbly and lightly brown.

In other news, I am trying one of my own tea recipes, listed on my recipe page, to combat an oncoming cold. I have added a few things and it is extremely potent. I began with green tea, added ginger, cayenne, garlic, lemongrass, and threw in a Saw Palmetto bag, just for giggles. Here's hoping it works, cause I feel a whole heap of yucky at the moment....at least I have 47 pounds of macaroni to make me feel better.

Day 14 This Has To Be A Record

Today was monumental in many different ways, the most relative being that I have made it 2 full weeks without so much as a single fast food SNAFU (look it up). I have not once fudged on soda or caved for a Mexidip and chips combo, my willpower is unstoppable! Second, my mom told me to pull my pants up, which means that they are falling down, which means..........a trip to Old Navy for a smaller pair? We shall explore this possibility tomorrow. Third, I LOVE this Serene herb stuff, I am so very serene and have not been at all anxious or annoyed all day. Ususally on the way to work or home or, well anywhere on the road, I scream kind words at other motorists and shake my happy fist at them, today, nothing but smiles and friendly nods. Oh no, what if the firey side of my personality is gone forever? How will I put the kibash down on rotten children and their parents? Perhaps subtle manipulation will have to work instead. All in all, this has been a great two weeks, I feel like I have more energy, not as sluggish, and I feel like I'm doing something really good for myself, this is going to be my year!  http://www.fastfoodboycott.blogspot.com/
