My two cents

I don't usually get involved in things like this but wanted to say some,thing as it's been in my mind. Can we please stop body shamming people.

As someone who has been both what they call normal and obese. I know how people feel when you start calling people who in the real world are healthy fat. It's not called for. If someone is happy with the size they are and there are no health issues being caused by the weight then let them be. If they are not happy. Then give them the love and support they need to be able to do something about it. Don't ridicule them.

Treadmill

I've decided that treadmill running is OK. If you only want to do a quick 3 miles or so. I tend to get board after 2 miles. I guess I'm just not used to running distance anymore. I struggle running outside as well.

I guess I just need to start being more consistent with my running and the distance thing come again both on the treadmill and outside.

Sick

I won't be posting any new recipes for a few days. I'm sick so won't be cooking.  Sorry guys. I am working on figuring out how to add more pictures to my posts and I'm also working on pictures for all the recipes I've already posted if I can figure it all out.

Stained glass cookies,

This is one of my Christmas cookies that the family always asks me to bring. They are so simple mainly because I cheat for these. The reason I cheat is because I have yet to find a sugar cookie recipe I that I love. Something to look for I guess.

These make cute little tree decorations or just nice to eat. So for these cookies you will need :

A packet of sugar cookie mix.
Jolly rancher candy.

Follow the directions on the packet of sugar cookies and make them up for rolled cookies.

Roll out the dough and cut out shapes using a cookie cutter,

With a knife cut out a small hole in the centre of each cookie and place the cookies on a Cooke sheet lined with non stick foil. Must be non stick or the cookies will not come off once cooked.

In a plastic bag place the unwrapped candy. I do a separate bag for each flavor. Seal the bag making sure there is no air inside and then using a rolling pin, pan or just something heavy, cup rush the candy into small pieces.

Place the crushed can't into the holes in the centre of the cookies. Cook the cookie according to the directions on the packet of mix,

Once out of the oven cool enough to handle and then remove from the cookie sheet promptly.

Been a while

I know it's been a while since I last posted anything. To be honest. I needed a break from the whole blog thing. I love food I love cooking, I love sharing the things I love with people. But I was starting to feel like I'm talking to no one. I don't know if anyone ever reads my posts or even likes the blog.

But I keep at it every now and then because if it makes me happy then that should be all that matters, right? I have a ton of recipes I want to post so will get round to posting them sometime soon. I will try and post more pictures on my blog but you can always follow me on Instagram as that is where I post most of the pictures I take of the food I make.

I love each of you if your out there and thanks for reading my blog.

What kind of post for tomorrow

So I'm thinking we need either a cooking related post or a wiccan related post? What do you guys think?

Unfortunately my wicca suffered last year and as a beginner and still very much learning I wasn't able to dedicate as much time to it as I wanted so really feel that a wiccan post is not the best. I am planning on getting back into my wicca this year. Will see how that goes.

So best if we do a food post. Let's see what people are in the mood for? Soup? Bread? Desserts? Mains? Or side? Let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.

It seems like all work and no play

right now it seems as if it's all work and no play for me. I'm hoping that will change I a few weeks but in the mean time it will be short and sweet blog post.

Tomorrow I gr the day off work but still need to find a way to get my house clean and laundry done.  Might see if I can treat myself and maybe get my nails done. But not sure i will have time for that.

Lost tv series

after a few months I've finally managed to finish watching. I loved it and now I'm stuck as in what to watch now.

I've started true blood at the start of December and I've already made it to season four. So I guess I've got that to finish. But then what? What are people's must watch television these days?

New year 2015

Another new year another chance at new beginnings. 2014 was a pretty good year. No really major events to report. It was really a year of work, work and more work.

I'm hoping this year will be different. I hope to spend more quality with my family and be more productive in general this year.
