****SOMETHING
NEW!!! A big thank you to Steve
Kafkas for a wonderful suggestion. Steve thought it would be a great idea to
put a direct link to Ree’s blog where everyone can click and get the blog
recipes immediately. This is
fabulous because the more people who learn about and visit her blog, the more
scrumptious food is being created out there. Thanks Steve – I actually figured out how to do it all by
myself. Yeah! Ree's pictures are a heck of a lot better than mine – try not to judge me too
harshly.
Recipe Review
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Monster Cookies
Found
in: The Pioneer Woman Blog
I figured out that there are
202 calories per serving, if 36 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie
counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to
use.)
I am in love with these cookies. They are so hearty and made with
everything but the kitchen sink. I
first began loving oatmeal cookies when I visited my Grandma. She made great cookies. These cookies are an improvement on the
old standard. They are moist, but
Ree has added so many goodies into the recipe that you can’t help but smile as
the variety of tastes attack your taste buds. I love chocolate and candy.

Today’s critics:
I shared these
cookies with my university students who said:
“Good!”
“We really needed
these cookies today.”
“These cookies are a
good combination of flavors”
Why Weight?
Eating
out is really hard when you are counting calories. If I go out to a place like Chipotle or Panera, it is not
inconvenient because they have the calorie counts listed on the menu. Unfortunately, when you go to a
sit-down restaurant you are on your own.
I
do not want to limit where I go with my friends so I always reserve 1,000
calories if I know I am going out to dinner. That way, I have no guilt or remorse because I have saved
enough calories for a great dinner.
My Gorgeous Girls
As
I reported last Tuesday, I was really worried about Willow’s cyst/tumor. We went to the groomer and I had the
vet recheck the nasty little growth. She aspirated it and found out that most
of it was fluid. I told her that I really wanted it out, because since it was
made up of a lot of fluid and some solid mass it would probably return. I made
the decision to have it removed. The dogs got their teeth cleaned last July,
but I would like to move it up and have it done at the same time to avoid
having Willow anesthetized twice. So in the upcoming weeks Willow will undergo
the knife and both of us will feel a lot better. Okay – I will feel a lot
better because I don’t think it even bothers Willow.
