No, but really, I bought new jeans on my lunch hour and they are a size 10!! I really had a hard time grabbing them off the rack because I was sure they would be like really pretty blue SAUSAGE CASINGS! But nope, they are cute as heck! I am feeling the pride right now in my new blue NOT sausage casings! Another milestone, last week at weigh in I hit my 30lb mark, talk about a great day!
Here is a little tasty tidbit for you today that I think I will be making for my next party, it has two of my favorite things in it…YES ONE OF THEM IS CHEESE, the other my friends, is spinach! I love spinach anyway, but you can put it in so many things to give you a little boost, not just nutritionally mind you…but it gives a little guilt free bulk to lots of different types of dishes! And now if I haven’t entertained you enough…here are some funnies before the nitty gritty…um I mean recipe…
