in: The Pioneer Woman blog
I figured out that there are
684 calories per serving, if 4 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary
depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
OMG this is a killer
sandwich. Who would have thought to put both Dijon mustard and apricot
preserves as a sandwich spread. This sammy has a little kick and just melts in
your mouth. Ree also put pecans on the sammy which is another first for me. I
have never had nuts on a sandwich – in a salad yes – on a sandwich – no!! The only alteration I made was to avoid
the cranberries because they are not a favorite of mine. This is a fabulous
summer sandwich when it is cooler. The Panini maker is a whole lot less heat
than the oven. You may even be able to put it on a grill!!
Why Weight?
Even
though I am trying to remember how far I have come so far, I still have some
guilt over yo-yoing all over the place. I need to get back to being serious and
never giving in to temptation or bad choices until I am back on the serious
road. Every thing that enters my mouth has to be counted and then I will be
back on the road to success. Then it is okay to splurge once in a while but
lately it has become a bad habit. There are too many bad choice days. Deep
breath - here we go.

The first thing I learned to
knit from my friend, Madonna Strom, was a pair of baby mittens. She purchased
the pattern and yard from a wonderful store named Wool and Company in St.
Charles. The mittens are extremely easy to make because they have no thumbs. I
can make a pair in an evening. They are fun and quick and make a wonderful
shower gift.
