Another new week is upon us, and I'm looking forward to the warm up the weatherman is calling for. We had a deep freeze move in on us last week, with temps dropping down to 0. Not my idea of fun. This week looks much better, with temps all the way up in the 50's, now that I can handle.
I'm still hanging in there and doing great with my healthy eating plan. I feel loads better, and am having no problems sticking with it. I will admit I'm having trouble giving up my caffeine free Pepsi, but that's a work in progress and I'll get there.

Well hello April! You are so lucky to be living in Florida, me and my husband would LOVE to live there. Thanks for stopping by! :)
Hi Susie, thanks for reminding me about your menu plan post. On my way there now...
Looking forward to seeing the homemade fried cheese sticks recipe!
It's a new recipe for me Holly, and if they turn out good, I'll be posting it Wednesday. Glad to see your still around in blog land. :)
I have been wanting to try breakfast cookies since I saw those on Heavenly Homemakers forever ago. I really need to do that. Do you make them often?
Hi Carrie, that's where I got the original recipe from. I do the soak method and use both whole wheat and white flours. I usually keep these on hand in the freezer for a quick, on the go breakfast when I have an appointment, and don't have time to cook. Their very filling with a glass of milk, and my family really likes them. I've been thinking of trying a chocolate version.
