I love www.Epicurious.com they have so many different varieties of recipes.... you can look up by ingredient, healthy, main, vegan, etc. I just pulled this delightful side dish and am excited to try it, and it sounds like it would be good for your get together as well. Smoky Black Beans This recipe can be prepared in 45…

not my type, but she is defintiely a hottie

When I get home from work and the little one comes running and yelling my name, then throws herself into my arms for a big hug :heart:

I don't really care so much about the stretch marks, I consider them hard earned.... but I would love to get rid of the baby pooch that just never goes away no matter what I do.

You look amazing, and so happy! Congrats :drinker:

trying to get through the last 20 minutes of work.... and it is going by unbelieveably slow!!!!!

in for the link that is clickable :wink:

That's a tough call.... a boxer is probably my #1 choice because they look a bit intimidating but are really just lovable and playful, but when push comes to shove they protect their families. #2 American Bulldog - again, they look intimidating and are hard working and honest dogs. You never have to wonder what they are up…

Karina's Kitchen is a great place to find naturally gluten free alternatives. Typically for breakfast I have an egg frittata, or cassarole that I can fix over the weekend and then separate for the week. Or a fruit and yogurt smoothie with some nuts (this also helps to get a nice amount of protein in to start your day) As…

Several times :flowerforyou:

I love these little gems.... I chop up a granny smith apple, add a little cinnamon and a little sugar and then fry it in a pan (no need to add butter the juice from the apple is more than enough moisture), then roll them into the crescent roll and bake as directed. Talk about yummy!

You look amazing.... and I agree with everyone else, so much happier! WTG, and thanks for sharing. :drinker:

I'm very resourceful as far as food, shelter, hiding, hand-to-hand combat, and have lots of friends with full on arsenols....

I've been looking for a serious portrait artist myself.... my oldest daughter has done some research for me and now there are 2 I'm considering. One is in D.C. and she has a 6-7 month wait list, the other is in Pittsburgh, and he actually did one of my oldests leg pieces.... Simply amazing work! I have 3 tatto's now, and…

The first was for my family, faith and losses, second was for surviving childhood abuse, and the last was because of moving forward with my life instead of accepting more abuse. I have several more, but they are going to take a while to work out.... I know in my head what I want, now I just have to actually draw and lay…

Was married for almost 20 years, with him for 21 years.... best move I ever made was to leave! I have 2 children with him, they are the best thing to come out of our time together, but I agree with random.... I should have left way sooner, staying for the kids was not the best choice.

I am in the same boat.... My first 2 children were pretty easy. My oldest, she absolutely hated diapers from a young age... as soon as she started walking, we would take her to the bathroom with us any time we had to go, and sit her on her own little seat. We would read books and while she sat on the potty she could have a…

My fav way to have broccoli, asparagus and baby brussel sprouts is to toss them with a light coating of olive oil, cracked pepper and garlic, then put them on broil for 5-7 minutes. Very nice flavor, easy, and even my super picky son likes it this way... well not the brussel sprouts :wink: Another way that I sneak spinach…

I have a 22 yo daughter, a 19 yo son, and an almost 2 yo daughter.... each one of them is VERY different, and because of this I think there are certainly behaviors I prefer in each one of them... but I do NOT have a favorite overall. The 22 year old is very dramatic and this sometimes drives me completely insane! But she…

Hi Five

Back to the beginning....

I have 2 pics on my fridge.... The first I was 18, 125 pounds and a size 4, the other one is me at my biggest, 289 pounds. I'm NEVER going back there!

Dance and spank....

1. Onions - I will cook with them, but they have to be chopped so fine they are almost liquid, love the flavor, HATE the texture! 2. Eggs over easy - GAG 3. Beer - just no 4. Twitter - what is the point, really now? 5. Muffin tops - if it doesn't fit, don't wear it please!!!

You rock! BTW, I love that you used the same clothes for the before and after shots, it really shows a massive difference, and highlights your accomplishments even more! Keep up the amazing job. :drinker:

Ogle away, I know I will be.... all day long :drinker:
