Recipe Review
Today’s
Recipe and Location: French Onion Soup

Frontier

I figured out that there are
484 calories per serving, if 8 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary
depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
I am the only critic
on this one because I have no idea how to transport this one (even next door).
I love onion soup and the crouton and cheese made my tummy warm and happy. Soup is such a great thing to serve
during these long hard winter nights.
I made mine in a little ramekin and it just brought a smile to my face.
I love ramekins. There is a topic
for another day.
Today’s
critics: Just little ole’ me.
Why Weight?
I
have always been a slow eater compared to the rest of my family. At Curves we
were discussing how the problem with watching your weight is that it takes a
while for your stomach to alert your brain that you are actually full. Now this
is definitely true because there are days when I am starving, but I know I have
had enough to eat.
One
of my Curves friends told us that we should try eating with the opposite hand and that
would slow us down. She was absolutely right! It is also a great activity for your brain because it is
difficult for us not to eat with our dominant hand. I do have to say that it made for a frustrating dinner but
it really does slow you down.
I
also overheard a conversation between two ladies who discussed using chopsticks
to slow down their eating rate, and not just on Chinese food but for
everything. This is a great idea. I own many sets of chopsticks and never
thought to even try this.
Let
me know if either of these tricks work for you.
My Gorgeous Girls
My
girls love to play. We have many
favorite toys. The most important
toy we have is the frisbee. Spring, summer, and fall you can find us out in the
yard throwing and catching our soft Frisbees. (I am the one throwing in case you were wondering). As you
can see from the pictures, they are pretty serious about this toy.
Another
favorite is Bear. I only purchase
nonstuffed toys now because my house suffers if I do not do so. One day I came
home and it looked like it had snowed in my living room. Stuffing is far too much fun to shake
around the room so I just don’t waste money on those toys. Unfortunately my dogs dismember their
stuffed animals. I find bear or frog’s arm or leg when I pick up the poop in
the yard. Not a pretty sight.
We
have other miscellaneous toys but Frisbee, bear, fox, and frog seem to be our
favorites today.
