NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

WOW it has been a while since I was on here........ I thought it would be fun to post my New Years Resolutions and then look back at the end of 2011 to see how many I actually did. So here goes.......

1. Run a 5k (a step towards that marathon on my list)
2. Get sugar out of my diet. (attempt to eat only natural foods)
3. Get my class done.
4. Get most of my CPA examination out of the way.
5. Get out more (by this I mean outdoor activities) I REALLY miss this.

Hoping to be able to cross everything off the above list on 12/31/2011. Anyone else care to share their resolutions??? I think getting them out here will help me stick to them because I will be held a little more accountable.

On a side note, I have been reading this blog for quite some time now. Now miss Kayla Aimee is a new mom to a micro preemie little angel named Scarlette. She is VERY good about putting updates on her blog. Please get on there and read their story and pray for them every single day. If you are anything like me, once you start reading about Scarlette you will wait anxiously for her daily update to see what the improvements are.

Phenominal Focaccia

This bread is AWESOME. It only takes 20 minutes to rise and 15 minutes to bake. A few things the card leaves out: I cheated and used the jarred minced garlic to save some time and stinky hands, I used this for the cheese and it worked beautifully:

Shewwww that was a lot of posting. I have not done anything in a while. Now I will spend the weekend trying to make a few sewing requests! Have a great weekend!

Cinnamon Bread Bliss

I have been on a homemade kick lately. Since G & I have been trying to use up what we have I have been trying to use up staples in the pantry as sides and snacks. The other day I got a hankering for something sweet so I pulled out this little ditty of a recipe I had stashed away for a rainy day. Below is a printable recipe card:

I would like to say a special thanks to PIONEER WOMAN who was the brilliant creator of this recipe.
