More things I'm loving from Pinterest (I'm addicted, ok? Don't judge me):

"Vootbeer" - vanilla flavored vodka and root beer topped with whip cream.  Yes please.

Egg Nog Pound Cake..... might have to give that a try!



I bet my furniture designing husband would go for this idea:


Making lasagna in a crock pot seems a little weird to me.... but I'm willing to try it out!

Happy Sunday everyone.   Another blog about food. :-)  I made the Avalanche Bars that I blogged about the other day.  OMG.  All I can say is its a good thing they're going to work tomorrow for a pot luck.  Lucas and I shared one to taste (and make sure it wasn't gross of course) and wow.   I'll definitely be making these again.  And they're super easy.  Bonus.

Dinner tonight was an old favorite - Taco Soup.  This is a weight watchers recipe that is 1. easy 2. low cal 3. and very filling.  Its a little high on the sodium for my liking but that can be adjusted by using low sodium canned good if available.   Top it with low fat sour cream and low fat shredded cheese and you're set.  Lucas likes to dip baked Tostitos in his taco soup.


Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away? Me neither!

First new recipe of the weekend complete.  I made the French Toast Muffins I wrote about yesterday.  They aren't too bad - I would like them a little sweeter though.  Next time if I plan on feeding more than Lucas and I, I will double the recipe (it only made 8) and I'm going to add more nutmeg or cinnamon to the batter.  It called for 1/2 tsp of nutmeg I think.  I think it needs more.  :)

So I'm on Pinterest (again) and I have about 192 ideas of stuff I want to cook.   1.  Bad for the waistline.  2. Bad for the bank account.  3.  But so many yummy pretty things!  I mean, how freaking cute are these!
