The Latest...

Well everything is the same as it always is, nothing exciting going on. A few weeks ago I broke my foot and I had to wear this annoying walking boot. It was nice that I didn't have crutches but the boot was a little annoying. I didn't get a picture of me wearing it but here is one I found online...Luckily my pant leg fit over it because it is not pretty...


Other than that I have not done anything. I did however cook some good ( well at least I thought so) weight watchers friendly food....

"Fried" Onion Rings

3 sprays- olive oil cooking spray
1/4 cup- all purpose flour
1/4 tsp - garlic powder
1/8 tsp- dry mustard
1/4 tsp- salt
2 large onions cut in 1/4 in rings
1/2 cup - buttermilk
1 cup- bread crumbs

1- Pre heat oven to 400, coat large cooking sheet with cooking spray.
2- In a large bowl combine four, garlic powder, dry mustard, and salt. Add onions, Toss to coat.
3- Pour buttermilk into another large bowl, Add onions, toss to coat. ( using your hands work best)
4- Put breadcrumbs in a large bowl ( i added some salt to the breadcrumbs for some more flavor) Add onions, toss to coat.
5- Transfer onions to baking sheet, spray with cooking spray.
6- Cook until golden brown about 35 min. Serve hot, yields 1/2 onion per serving. 4 points a serving.

Slaw of Attraction

One 16-oz. package cole slaw mix, dry (or 6 cups shredded cabbage mixed with 1 cup shredded carrots)
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
2 1/2 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
1 tsp. Dijonnaise
2 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda)
1/4 tsp. seasoned salt (like Lawry's)
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
To make dressing, combine mayo, sour cream, rice vinegar, Dijonnaise, sweetener, and seasoned salt. Mix well. Place cole slaw mix in a large bowl. Add dressing and stir until all of the slaw is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. (For best flavor, make slaw the night before you plan to serve it.) Then just give it a good stir, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy! MAKES 6 SERVINGS
( serving size 2/3 cup, 1 point per serving)

I also made really yummy open face philly cheese sandwiches and a reuben casserole but I don't have the recipe out right now so I will post those when I get home.

Spring!

I love that spring has finally come! Don't get me wrong I am a HUGE fan of snow, but it is nice to see the ground and green grass and no more snow! On the down side we did have a ton of snow before so it is all melted and everything is just muddy, and on top of that it rained a little last night so its just more wet. I hope soon it will dry up and not be so muddy!

On another note!

Yesterday I took the dog for a walk down the street to get our neighbors mail and we started heading back and across the little creek ditch area were my other neighbors and there kids and they said hello and we started talking, well I decided to walk closer so I started to walk down the hill, the muddy muddy hill. I slipped and fell, I was COVERED! in mud and I messed up my ankle! Naturally! So I felt like an idiot because my neighbor was across the creek and asking me if I needed help or anything, but I was so embarrassed so I just told her I was fine, then I wobbled my way home. HAHA! I went today to get x-rays of it, I have not heard back from the clinic but I really think it is just sprained. So now I am stuck home watching re-runs of Little House on the Prairie.

That is all the latest news, life is pretty uneventful I'm still subbing at the Grade School so that is about it.

My new obsession!

Supernatural! I love love love it! Not only are the men very much attractive but they are just so funny its just great. I just like it a lot, sometimes the dead people on the show aren't to pleasant looking but I still like it.

New! Part 2!

That is a bad picture... hopefully you can tell that I cut and colored my hair! It is shorter and stacked up in the back and a little bit longer in the front! I LOVE IT! I tried someone new this time, a lady in Dallas City. She was really nice and did a freaking good job cutting it. Then I wanted to color it and Tacy said she had no idea how to do it, but Nathan said he did. He did a pretty darn good job if I do say so myself.

New!

I bought a new laptop! I got one of the minis. I just got it today so I'm not 100% use to it but so far so good! Through my dads work we can get discounts on laptops on dell so last week my mom got an e-mail telling her of a deal with the dell minis. I was looking around at different ones and when my mom told me the deal it was a really good one so I decided to go for it My old computers power cord was broken and it was so so so slow, so I realized it was time for a change. I'm excited way excited! I don't do a ton on my computer so I didn't really need a big one. Well that's all I really have to say for now. Sorry for the short post.

SLUSH!

Happy WAY belated birthday to me! Tacy never got me a birthday present last year, so she felt the need to get me a present now. SO she got me a Slush Mug! It is a mug that you freeze the inside cup and then when it is all frozen you pour your cold drink in and then in a matter of minutes its a slushy! I just got it today but I have already used it and it works and I love it!

On a different note....

Today was my first day subbing as an aid at the Grade School. It was way fun! I subbed in the pre-k class and they are just adorable. A few kids I knew from church, but most I didn't know but they loved me anyway. I also ran into a few more kids from church in different grades and they all made sure to announce that they knew who I was. One girl that I taught it sunbeams came up and gave me a huge hug and said JESSIE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? It was a good day. I go back tomorrow to do the same thing. Then Thursday and Friday I sub in Kindergarden. I'm excited!

I'M ALIVE!

I have not had any motivation to write a blog in the past few months. I was just lazy, and I felt like there was nothing really worth blogging about. So I guess I can fill you in on all that has happened since November.

Christmas was great! Katy was home for the holidays and it was so much fun having her here for a while. We all had a lot of fun just being lazy and doing a whole lot of nothing. I got a Wii so we played wii golf most of the time.

It all got boring after Katy left. The Fudge Factory is closed until the beginning of February so Me, my mom and Tacy really had nothing to do for the month of January. We decided to take a cake decorating class at hobby lobby. That was fun, Tacy took pictures but I will have to post pictures later. We just learned the basics, like frosting the cake and then doing borders and basic flowers. We had to learn the rose and it was HARD! the teacher said its the hardest thing to learn. There are three different courses, and each course is four classes long. We finished the first one and me and Tacy are going to take Course two. In that class we will learn more flowers and the basic weave, So it should be fun.

That's the only major news, there have been a few little changes. In church I used to teach the three year olds, now I teach the six year olds. I liked the three year olds, but it was getting way hard tyring to wrestle six three year olds by myself. The six year old are great, they know more about what I'm teaching them, and they know how to be reverent. Its great!

On occasion I sub for a cook or the secretary out at the Jr High. But a few days ago and the Grade School called me and asked if I would be interested in subbing as an aid for them. So next week I will be working at the Grade School and a few days in the next few months.

That is about it, sorry about not blogging!
