This isn’t the best video, but it’s gotta be shown. I am going to share my weight loss journey with all of my bloggie buddies.  I have been wanting to do this for a while mainly for the accountability aspect of it all, but I have had avoidance behavior for about 3 months. At blissdom09 I met an awesome blogger that did this with her weight loss journey & people loved it. If you prefer Weight Watchers, you gotta check her site out.  Esther at faintstarlite gave me the courage to go for it!

Chex Mix is a must around here for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I make triple batches before both holidays. The new recipes on the boxes have instructions for the microwave. I have never had too much luck with that. I like the mix cooked in the oven much better. It taste better toasted. My only problem is getting the stuff mixed without getting it all over the oven. The solution:

Aluminum pans with plastic lids!

Put the mix in the oven to cook in the aluminum pans.

Every 15 minutes, take it out, put the plastic lid on and shake. Put it back in the oven (without plastic lid) and repeat for 45min.

No Mess! It works for me. For more exciting idea’s go to WFMW at rocksinmydryer.com.

This coming Saturday morning my friend Katie is having a wedding shower. I have the privilege of being one of the people making Quiche for the event. I was told I could make any two Quiches I wanted to. Sounds easy…huh? The problem is, I do want people to love my cooking and I really don’t like to be like everybody else. I have been through about a bazillion recipes. The best recipes always seem to surface on allrecipes.com. LOVE IT! The site is easy to navigate…easy to save favorite recipes and, after you save your recipes, you can print out a shopping list. LOVE IT! Anyway….the quiche recipe that ended up “working for me” is called EASY BACON AND CHEESE QUICHE:

Easy Bacon and Cheese Quiche Submitted by: DAWNROBYN Rated: 5 out of 5 by 86 members Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 50 Minutes Ready In: 1 Hour Yields: 6 servings “This is an easy, delicious quiche that will take no time to prepare and your friends will ask for the recipe!

You can add 1/2 c. of anything else that sounds yummy, spinach, cheddar cheese, ham, shrimp, salmon. It is an easy base Quiche for anything else you can come up with.

I really started out this post to tell you what quiche recipe works for me but truth be known, what really works for me is allrecipes.com.
