Baking Sunday

It's Sunday - time for some muffins!!  Haven't tasted them yet... but they do smell very good!!

Here's the recipe - you have a choice to add different ingredients - I choose chocolate chips and banana! Mix-In-Muffins-34373

More Cold...

Today is soooo cold - didn't have the courage to go for a walk outside - here are a couple more from last Sunday!

More Cold and Windy Shots

I want Spring... I want Summer... I want heat... I want sun... but until then... here are more scenes from our Winter!! :)

Beauty in the Cold

Went for a long walk on Sunday - we were almost alone in the woods - so peaceful and quiet!

Is he running away from me??

I don't know why, but sometimes I get the feeling that Ben doesn't like my camera...

But it might just be my imagination...

Self-Portrait

Shanna issued a challenge on two peas for a new self-portrait.  I finally did it - though a little late!!

Ben took this one of me - rosy cheeks and all - during our walk last Sunday.

and this is the famous self-portrait... I look so red - and it wasn't that cold!! ;)

Anybody did this challenge??!!

Bad weekend...

Foodwise - didn't make the best choices... but everything was sooo good!!

Lunch yesterday - Brie-and-Prosciutto-Panini-351159 - Perfect mix of ingredients!!

and baked these (did share with my coworkers!) - Chocolate-Chip-Muffins-9326

Put Your Head on My Shoulder...

Put your head on my shoulder

Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight
Show me that you love me too

Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won't you kiss me once, baby
Just a kiss goodnight, may be
You and I will fall in love

People say that love's a game
A game you just can't win
If there's a way
I'll find it somebody
And then this fool with rush in

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear
Tell me, tell me that you love me too.

Do you know this song?? If so, who was the singer??!! ;)

Lights and Statue

As I was finishing taking photos of the Illuminated Crowd, saw these lights and thought they looked cool!!

Up close

Another statue right across from the Illuminated Crowd

The Illuminated Crowd

I know I posted some pics before of the huge statue in front of my old office building - but I guess I felt nostalgic - I went back a couple of days ago and tried some new angles!!

Have a great weekend!! :)

Perfect day for a picnic...

What do you think?  Wanna go on a picnic with me??!!

Could bring this to eat - a WW recipe - and I got to say - we LOVED it!!! :) Here's the link if you are interested:  Crustless-Broccoli-and-Cheese-Quiche-244046 (the recipe says for 8... we split it in 4 - so it's 2 WW points!!)

Made a new friend...

Sunday was a "warm" day - not sunny - but at least we were able to go for a nice long walk!

managed to make a new friend... :)

Biggest Loser Tuesday

Not much to report. I lost 1/2 pound (better than gaining I guess!)... Went to the gym twice and tried a dvd at home last weekend... oh my is she tough!!  Tried Jillian Michael's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and couldn't do the whole thing!!! I take step classes and do body design classes and I couldn't handle Jillian!!  And boy did I feel my legs the next day!! If you want a tough workout - try her out!! (If you don't know, she is one of the trainers on Biggest Loser)

Take the long way home

When I downloaded this photo of Ben, don't know why, but Supertramp's old song popped into my head!

"When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home

Take the long way home"

Baking Sunday

Nice to have a relaxing weekend! Shopped a bit, watched some movies, made spaghetti sauce and baked too!!

Was curious about these muffins - they are made with Cheerios!! Would add more sugar next time as they are not sweet at all (as they are made with applesauce - they are OK with my healthy resolution!)...

Ben is a big fan of granola. He always have a bowl after dinner.  Have been trying many recipes as granola is soooo easy to make and so much cheaper than buying!! This time, made Down-to-Earth-Granola-Weight-Watchers-272650 and it was GOOD!! mmmmm!!
