Holy Cow....I need a new diet

Hello my name is Kelly and I'm a foodaholic.
Seriously...
It's maddening really.


 I wish my scale said this when I stepped on it.
oh to be 150 lbs.

I'm pissed at myself and it is time to start a new healthy lifestyle.

Screw you food!

I've put 40 lbs on since last June and it ain't pretty. Ain't pretty at all.
So tomorrow I'll weigh-in (for my eyes only) and start this thing. I can do it!!!
Now you can note that my last post was about food...

Making My Sister's Salsa

My sister has serious salsa skills.

But when I ask for the recipe she is always like "I don't know I just threw stuff in it"

Dang it Angela.

Anyway, I went on a search online for salsa recipes that contained some of my sister's fabulous ingredients.

One of which is Chickpeas.

I FOUND ONE! YAY!

Mark, Sydney and I went to the farmers market this AM and got:

 4-5 Tomatoes

1/2 Onion

Cilantro Plant (used 3 tbsp minced)

Then off to Meijer for:

1 can black beans

2 cans chickpeas 

(recipe called for 1 can of chickpeas and one can of Kidney Beans but sissy doesn't put Kidney Beans in hers)

1 Big Can Corn

3 Jalapenos 

3 limes (just use the juice)

Ingredients from Home:

1 tablespoon Ground Cumin

2 teaspoonsful salt

1/4 -1/2 teaspoonful pepper

Drain and Rinse the beans and drain the corn.

Chop tomato,onion and jalapenos...of course.

Mix all ingredients together and fridge it up for 1 hour.

I love cilantro. A LOT.

As a matter of fact I love it so much that when one of my regular blog reads mentioned that she hated cilantro I pondered whether I could continue reading her blog or not.

I decided not to be a hater.  :)

YAY FOR GRASS!!

Tray Hook-up

I got this tray from Target a while ago.

I works great as a little condiment/napkin holder for the middle of the table. 

When dinner is done just move back to the kitchen counter. That way all the straws don't end up in my child's mouth...and then back in the jar.

Got the idea from here.
