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.
