Soon will blog the recipe on my blog, Baking is my Zen.
Heres something fun for you all. What I like about this is that I used all of my own stock images. It is so easy to google fork and get a fork on a white background that you can use the magic wand and be ready to go with. But I have been using tutorials and such to create things from scratch. Today I created a sparkle brush. :)
I hope you all have an fantabulous(yeah, i went there) Wednesday!!!

Soon will blog the recipe on my blog, Baking is my Zen.
Tonight was the launch of my Pampered Chef career with a party for our neighbours. It was a terrifying prospect in so many ways - not only my first go at a cooking demonstration and all the associated spiel, but also the first time most of the guests had set foot in our house, so there had been rather a lot of preparation to turn it from the usual tip into something approaching tidy (culminating in dumping handfuls of paperwork on our bedroom floor and boxes of toys in the teepee half an hour before people arrived).
The party itself was fun - the neighbours are a nice bunch and it was good to get to know them a bit better (we've started plans for a street party for the royal wedding) and share drinks and nibbles. The cooking demonstration went okay - I clearly need some practise, and to get more comfortable with the products. We'd deliberately not pitched it as a hard sell, just a practise run and opportunity for a get together. But it was still a little disappointing not to nail down a single order (they did all leave with catalogues and order forms and I'm hopeful that I'll drum up a few over the weekend). Possibly related to the fact that I'd watched the 'how to run a cooking show' DVD that afternoon, and didn't make it to the actual selling/closing part as Toy Story had finished by then!

Mighty Greens and our Beet Juice Powder are convenient and economical ways to add more #antioxidant #vegetable #nutrition to diets. In study after study, most Americans are very deficient in the vegetable nutrition we need to stay healthy.
Pines was the first #greensuperfood and has been growing #wheatgrass and #alfalfa in accordance with the scientific research for nearly 40 years.
#PinesWheatGrass is grown as nature intended. It is harvested after a winter of slow growth outdoors in often-freezing temperatures as a short grass. This stage of growth occurs only once a-year and lasts only a few days in the early spring.
Our alfalfa leaf is harvested at the pre-blossom stage that has been shown to produce the highest nutritional value. Pines is unique in not being a part of the pesticide-based, animal feed industry that uses an "organic sideline" to produce most of the other wheatgrass and alfalfa in the natural foods market. Since we began in 1976, Pines' farm families have been 100% organic. All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen. Without oxygen, the devitalization and loss of color that occurs with products in plastic tubs or packets does not occur. That's why Pines provides the most nutrition per dollar of any cereal grass or alfalfa producer.

CK teaches sourcing individual ingredients rather than using complex blends. This is especially important for #greensuperfood products, which can be blended with darkly colored ingredients to hide poor color and quality.

Whether you simply mix #organic Pines Wheat Grass with organic #chocolate syrup and milk (cow, goat, flax, coconut, cashew, almond or soy) or produce a beautiful smoothie like this one, you should always buy your wheat grass separately so you can see its color. Otherwise, if you buy it already mixed with chocolate you won't know if the chocolate was used to disguise poor quality greens with a bad color.
With Pines' #superfoods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness because for 40 years, we have been growing and harvesting wheat grass correctly outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures and harvesting at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when it is 7 to 10 inches tall. We also provide the freshest possible product because we use amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle. Without oxygen, the devitalization that occurs from oxidation of #wheatgrass in plastic containers or paper packets does not occur.
#PinesWheatGrass is also available in convenient and economical tablets. Whether tablets or powder, any Pines' #GreenSuperfood will provide the additional dark green leafy vegetable nutrition that experts say is missing from most diets.

For a serving nutritionally equivalent to a spinach or kale salad, all it takes is 1-1/4 tsp of Pines Wheat Grass powder or seven tablets.
As always, #ckscooking :-)
And thank you, CK, for all the excellent ideas for smoothies and juices. CK Hall (@ckscooking) is a consultant for Pampered Chef®. She uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food.
Studies show that almost no one in today's society eats enough dark green leafy vegetables for the health protective benefits they provide.
Pines provides the most nutrient-dense dark green #veggies in your choice of forms and flavors.
Pines products are available at leading natural food stores or direct at wheatgrass.com.
Pines was the original #greensuperfood company and was the first to introduce #wheatgrass to the natural food marketplace in 1976. It is still the only company to follow the growing, harvesting and packaging standards used in the research.
Never grown under unnatural conditions in greenhouses or trays, #PinesWheatGrass is grown as nature intended, outdoors, in often-freezing temperatures and rich glacial soil, where roots can go down more than a foot deep, to provide the nourishment discovered in the research.
Pines Wheat Grass is harvested at the once-a-year stage of peak nutrition. Pines products are the only ones to be packaged in amber glass bottles with special caps that allow the company to remove the oxygen.
Without oxygen in the container, a green #superfood does not lose nutritional value, which is a major problem with green products sold in plastic tubs or paper packets.
With Pines, you receive the most nutrition per dollar. A serving equal nutritionally to $2 worth of spinach or kale can cost as little as 25 cents. For 40 years, Pines has provided the best value for any green #vegetable.

Recipe and mini muffin tin courtesy of my local friendly Pampered Chef consultant aka superhoop.
These are completely bite sized and just a bit too more-ish.
All ingredients are certified #organic
1-1/4 cup cashew milk
2 scoops chocolate fudge #vegan protein powder
1-1/4 Pines Wheat Grass powder from @wheatgrass_people
3 frozen figs from TraderJoes
As always, #ckscooking :-)
Thanks to CK Hall* for the recipe! Certainly, you could make this without the figs and can use other kinds of milk, but this a beautiful way to add both figs and chocolate to your green drink, especially for kids who are picky eaters.
When using superfood powders, always source your ingredients separately to examine them. For example, with greens already mixed with chocolate powder, you do not know the color of the greens. With Pines' green foods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness.
Another way to get more green into picky kids is to let them off the hook if they will swallow a serving of #PinesWheatGrass tablets, Pines #GreenDuo capsules or mix stevia-sweetened #MightyGreens powder into a drink.
Pines is the only company using amber glass bottles with special metal caps so they can remove the oxygen from each bottle. Without oxygen, devitalization caused by plastic containers or paper packets cannot occur. Research dating back more than 80 years proves that the packaging used by Pines is the only kind that protects sensitive green food nutrients.
The nutritional value of poorly packaged products results in Pines providing much more nutrition per dollar spent. Pines can cost as little as 25 cents for a serving nutritionally equivalent to nearly $2 worth of spinach or kale.
For 40 years Pines has grown and harvested organic #wheatgrass naturally, outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures. They harvest at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when the grass is 7 to 10 inches tall.

The builders left around five weeks ago now, leaving us with a beauiful new kitchen. I got as far as putting one coat of paint on two walls, glossing the woodwork and then stalled. What with school events, Charlotte's birthday, Christmas and illness, it's remained unfinished since then.
Spurred on by agreeing to host a Pampered Chef party for Superhoop today, I cracked the paint tin open again tonight and have finished the second and final coat on the same two walls. The other two walls are to be a different colour and will also be done very soon!

For the past 10 years I've had mystery pain in a very specific spot on my left shin. I've been sporadically back and forth between the GP, orthotist and orthopaedic surgeon, had x-rays, an MRI, a bone scan, have spent a small fortune on pills, potions, patches, sprays and fitflops and nothing has made any difference. It seems to have got worse with the pregnancies, is always bad in hot weather (I now subconsciously sleep with my left leg outside the duvet) and wakes me up with pain most nights.
The latest specialist I have been referred to is a Plastic Surgeon. I couldn't quite see how he'd help, but against all the odds he managed to find a tiny lump that everyone else had missed, and today I had minor surgery for it to be removed.
I was expecting it to be very minor & low key, so was a little surprised when I had to get gowned up and was shown in to a full on operating theatre complete with SEVEN doctors/nurses/anaesthetists in scrubs. Apart from virtually fainting during the surgery (it had to be completed with the bed on a slant so my head could get some blood) it all went smoothly. The lump will now be sent off, but the chances of it being anything sinister are tiny, due to how long it has been causing trouble. I'm just thrilled to have it out, and either the local anaesthetic hasn't worn off yet (12 hours later) or for the first time in 10 years, I have a shin that isn't at all painful.
She loves #MightyGreens #greensuperfood mixed with water to ensure the protective green food nutrients that doctors say we need.
But CK is also very creative with her #smoothies and #juices. Her variations involve as many nutrient-rich, #antioxidant fruits and #vegetables as possible. The USDA recommends five or more servings of per day. CK's smoothies often contain that many in just one delicious glassful.
She usually increases the vegetables by adding a rounded teaspoon of #PinesWheatGrass powder before pushing the blend button or stirring the juice. This picture shows just a sampling of dozens of recipes she has created.

This is another delicious smoothie recipe from CK Hall*. It is great as an energizing break in your fitness activity.
Also, if you have a hard time getting your children to eat their vegetables, recipes like this are a good way to get them to eat more green. You can also simply mix any of Pines' organic greens with organic chocolate syrup and milk (flax, coconut, cashew, almond, etc.) If Pines Green Superfoods are not available, order online (wheatgrass.com).
Pines' #greensuperfoods are also available in capsules and tablets for a very convenient and economical way to add more #wholefood #vegetables to your diet and as another way to get your kids to eat more greens.
When using superfood powders to fortify a smoothie or juice, it is best to source your ingredients separately so you can see and examine them. For example, with greens already mixed with chocolate powder, you do not know the color of the greens. With Pines' #superfoods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness.

CK is showing us that there are an infinite ways to add more of the most nutrient-rich #superfood powders from Pines to your diet. She seeks to provide a balance of root vegetables like carrots and beets with the leafy green #organic #wheatgrass grown by Pines outdoors and harvested at the once-per-year nutritional peak after slow grow through often freezing temperatures.
After intensive athletic activity, CK includes more deeply pigmented antioxidants, which increase her #NitricOxide level for greater #endurance, #stamina and #recovery. CK is your Pampered Chef consultant, who works with a 35-year old company that provides cooking tools and recipe ideas to health-minded people through food and fellowship. Here is one of her "after-#workout" smoothies:
LOOK at the color of this Cherry Chocolate Smoothie!
The richness comes in the Organic Beet Powder I added this morning.

A chocolate drink can also be a very simple #recipe such as mixing #organic #Wheatgrass, #CashewMilk and #DarkChocolate syrup for green chocolate milk. Mixing these three ingredients is as easy as mixing two by using an already-mixed chocolate/greens blend with a milk. When the greens are already blended with the chocolate, you are not able to see the color of the greens. When you mix #PinesWheatGrass into chocolate milk, you see a beautiful vibrant green color that tells you that you are adding high quality nutrition to your child's chocolate drink.
CK uses simple blends and single ingredients rather than complex blends with dozens of vegetables, fruits and other ingredients. By avoiding blends, you can examine the color, taste and aroma of each ingredient. You know the quality of what you are eating and feeding your loved ones.
Pines family farmers grow only 100% organic human food. It's not just a "side-line" for an otherwise pesticide-based farm. We are unique in that our modern, clean, stainless-steel, low-temperature, food-grade, facilities are organic only and have never been used to produce pesticide-based feed for the confined-animal, factory-farming, meat industry.
Established in 1976, Pines Wheat Grass was the original #GreenSuperfood. We are truly a #vegan friendly company.
Using food and fellowship, CK is a Pampered Chef consultant, who works with that 35-year old company to provide cooking tools and recipe ideas to health-minded people. Here is CK's latest chocolate-based recipe:
Chocolate Peanut Banana #Smoothie
1-1/2 cups cashew milk
2 scoops creamy chocolate fudge protein from @drinkorgain
2 tbsp organic peanut flour
1 tbsp dark cocoa powder (brings a richness)
1 banana
1-1/4 tsp Pines Organic Wheatgrass
1 cup ice

Recipe:
1 cup cashew milk
2 scoops Orgain organic vegan chocolate fudge protein
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp espresso powder
1 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp organic peanut flour
1 tbsp dutch cocoa
1 tsp Pines organic #greenduo (alfalfa/wheatgrass)
1 tsp beet juice powder also from @wheatgrass_people
1 cup frozen organic triple blend berries from @Costco
This #SuperfoodSmoothie provides two servings of darkly pigmented berries and two servings of darkly pigmented vegetables, as well as other #antioxidants. All are health-protective foods lacking in most diets.
If your kids like chocolate greens, you can simply mix any of Pines' organic greens with organic chocolate syrup and milk (flax, coconut, cashew, almond, etc.) If Pines Green Superfoods are not available, order online (wheatgrass.com).
When using superfood powders,it is best to source your ingredients separately so you can see and examine them. For example, with greens already mixed with chocolate powder, you do not know the color of the greens. With Pines' #superfoods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness.
For 40 years Pines has grown and harvested organic
#wheatgrass naturally, outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures. They harvest at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when the grass is 7 to 10 inches tall.
Pines is also is the only company using amber glass bottles with special metal caps so they can remove the oxygen from each bottle. Without oxygen, devitalization common to plastic containers or paper packets cannot occur.
Pines' #greensuperfoods are also available in capsules and tablets for a very convenient and economical way to add more #wholefood #vegetables to your diet. *CK Hall (@ckscooking) is a consultant for Pampered Chef®.

This is especially important for #greensuperfood products, which can be blended to hide poor color and quality.

Nutrition that does not bog me down yet keeps me full for hours! After a workout, this is just perfect! I also added some espresso for a perfect #postworkout treat!
24 grams protein and 8 grams fiber!
2 scoops #plantbased rich chocolate protein
1 cup cold filtered water
1 cup crushed ice
1-1/4 tsp organic Pines #WheatGrass
1 tsp espresso powder
#antioxidants for LIFE!
As always, #ckscooking :-)
For 40 years, Pines has offered the highest quality #greensuperfoods to increase the #vegetable #nutrition in your diet.
Unlike stale green juices in produce departments made by Coke, Pepsi and other #GMO monopolies, each batch of #PinesWheatGrass is grown by sincere organic family farmers and dried at low temperature within minutes to capture the peak nutritional density. It would require more than $300 worth of these green juices from the GMO food companies to equal the nutrition in one bottle of Pines!
All Pines's #greensuperfood products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen. That safeguard prevents the rapid nutrient loss of those green juices or green powders packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets. After opening, the tight-fitting metal caps allow you to tightly seal the products between uses for the freshest, most vibrant whole food green #juice or smoothie possible.
Pines is not a big corporate monopoly with an "organic sideline." We are 100% small organic farmers. In fact, our bottling facility is right across the road from one of our fields. We chose the Pine tree as our emblem in 1976 because it is the internationally-recognized symbol of the peace found in nature.
All Pines' products are certified #organic, #gmofree, #vegan, #raw,#Kosher and #glutenfree

I went to a Pampered Chef evening a few weeks back. I was pretty restrained with my purchases, and found the whole social-selling thing pretty uncomfortable to be honest.
But I'm so, so happy with my apple corer-slicer. Since I core and slice an apple or pear most days, it's genuinely useful and I get a little thrill of pleasure at the reliable and aesthetically pleasing result.
I had three girlfriends coming over to pick up their Pamered Chef products, so thought I'd give the mini muffin tray a whirl.
Joseph was an enthusiastic and diligent helper.
Facebook | Twitter | Youtube | Blog
I was about to start writing about the day when I was momentarily interrupted by thoughts of my nephew Rylan. Now 3 years old but acting like he's 6! Sometimes he is too cute for his own good. Today he discovered the water dispenser while I was picking up a check. Out of character, he asked for a drink of water. Shawn gave him a small cup and he was in awe at this device that dispensed water on demand. He quickly drank the small glass and now wanted to try for himself. You'd of thought it was the newest, hottest toy the way he was glued to it. He must have drank about 12 ounces of water. More than I thought his little stomach could handle. I told Shawn that we'd have to make sure he peed before we left the office, which he didn't. This of course led to us having to stop not once… but twice for this little man to pee like a race horse. You'd of thought that he would have had a reduced volume the second time around… NOPE! Race horse all over again. Even he was amazed at how much he was peeing. We were not near a bathroom both times and from the last trip we knew that when he says he has to go… he really has to go! So it was the back a bank parking lot the first time and the back a different bank the second time. Funny thing is… the two banks weren't more than a mile apart!
So, tonights picture. A simple portrait of Pampered Chefs independent director Sarah Davis. She had been summoned by TreasureCoastHappenes.com to demonstrate Pampered Chefs line of high quality, easy to use and efficient kitchen tools. Albeit a bit expensive, they are really well made and worth the cost. We have several items from the catalog and years later they still perform as intended. So what did Sarah do? She showed us what some of the products did and what better way then to use them for what they were intended. She cooked us a Penne and Chicken Pasta with roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. She did it all in a stone baking dish in the oven. It actually was very good and I'm picky, maybe even a bit snobbish when it comes to food!
So, did she volunteer? Not exactly! She was given an hours warning that she'd have her picture taken. She was not informed like so many of my subjects, of just how involved the shoot would be. When people showed up with small cameras and on board flashes, I'm sure she was thinking "oh, they just want to snap some shots" It wasn't until I started busting out lights did she question what was going on. "oh… what are we taking pictures of?" she asked with a innocent demeanor… "you of course!" "oh… I thought you were just kidding!" with an almost nervous laugh… nope we weren't kidding! She was a good sport about it and made no fuss about posing. After she saw a few of my most recent shots she seemed more than happy to pose for a few shots.
I chose to setup everything while the dish was in the oven. It didn't take long before I was ready to fire away. We of course, ate first then reset up the whole demonstration table out in the open. Surprisingly, she was pretty natural in front of the camera. She even started to loosen up and make goofy faces and pose in odd and comical ways. Since I promised her a shot she could use for promotional purposes, I chose a more toned down image out of the bunch.
So how did I do it? I wanted to really control the background and bring out detail. To do this I shot the background with out the table in 5 shots for later complaining in HDR. The foreground shot was then assembled and 3 lights placed in the now typical Michael Herb Sandwich style. (see below)
In post I combined the two shots by masking Sarah, her hair, the table and utensils out the background. I then put the HDR shot behind her. But that not all!
I then dropped the vibrance a hair, reduced the reds with a color balance adjustment layer and finally added a exposure adjustment and selectively masked the area to give a short of spotlight effect on the background directly behind her. I also painted over the lights in the background to amplify their exposure.
While masking around hair I always use a softer brush then the brush for masking the body. Unfortunately this does not work miracles and you need to touch up the hair. There is 1001 ways to do this including very specific and detailed masking. However, I typically just rough mask around the hair then go back on a new layer with a brush set to 1px 0% hardness and an opacity of just around 65%. I then go and paint strands of hair back in. I even purposely give fly aways and frizz back so it looks natural.
Finally I softened her skin using a not so secret method which I may cover in a video tutorial once I reinstall the capture software. A little dodge and burn finished things up. Or so I thought! on a final thought, I decided to add a color correction adjustment set to cooling (85). This gave the background a look as if it was gelled. I was now happy with my work and decided to save and call it a wrap.
Lighting:
AB800 Med Gridded Softbox at both 10:00 and 2:00 set to 3/4 power

Here's a great recipe from CK with Pines Beet Juice Powder and other wonderful vegetables and fruit:
So AMAZINGLY good that it made me sad to drink the last drop
The juice included:
parsley
apples
clementines
celery
red cabbage
ginger
Then I stirred in 2 tsp Pines Organics Beet Juice Powder from@wheatgrass_people

You can simply mix #organic Pines Wheat Grass with organic #chocolate syrup and milk (cow, goat, flax, coconut, cashew, almond or soy) or produce a beautiful smoothie like this one, but always buy your green food separately so you can see its color. Otherwise, if you buy your greens already mixed with chocolate you won't know if the chocolate was used to disguise poor quality greens with a bad color.
With Pines' #superfoods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness because for 40 years, we have been growing and harvesting wheat grass correctly outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures and harvesting at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when it is 7 to 10 inches tall. We also provide the freshest possible product because we use amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle. Without oxygen, the devitalization that occurs from oxidation of #wheatgrass in plastic containers or paper packets does not occur. #PinesWheatGrass is also available in convenient and economical tablets. Whether tablets or powder, any Pines' #GreenSuperfood will provide the additional dark green leafy vegetable nutrition that experts say is missing from most diets.

Avoid #GreenSuperfood blends in plastic containers. Not all wheatgrass is a beautiful dark green color like #PinesWheatGrass. Green #superfood blends with additives such as chocolate or spirulina, use the strong colors of such ingredients to disguise wheatgrass that can be more brown than green. Using Pines #WheatGrass and other single-ingredient products allows you see the color, note the aroma and other characteristics so you can judge the quality of each ingredient you use.
Pines does not produce complicated blends. Pines formulas are very simple, and all Pines ingredients are harvested at the right time and packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps. This kind of packaging allow Pines to remove the oxygen. That protects color and nutritional levels. Besides plastic tubs polluting our oceans and land fills, plastic does not protect green food nutrients from oxidation, which devitalizes sensitive #greenfood components.

October 13, 2009 - Yesterday, the FedEx driver brought seven big boxes of Pampered Chef items to our house. All of this was ordered by my friends and family at the Pampered Chef party I had last week. Tonight, I got to go through all the items and bag them according to the orders. I'll start making the deliveries tomorrow. And, I have some fun new kitchen items for myself, too!
"Shake on the run and a product shout out to @wheatgrass_people for their superior nutrition that makes my day EVERY DAY! Mighty Greens before workout, wheatgrass and beet juice powder in my shake after! "

All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps containing tight seals that allow us to remove the oxygen.
This safeguard protects sensitive nutrients from the oxidation and nutrient loss that occurs when green food products are packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets. After opening, the special caps seal the product between uses to keep it fresh and vibrant.
Nearly all Pines products consist of ingredients that we grow ourselves. All products are certified #organic, #gmofree, #vegan, #raw, #Kosher and #glutenfree.

I friend of mine is doing the Tour For A Cure - Diabetes Bike Ride. Instead of asking for donations, she had a deal with Pampered Chef - if you buy anything online and list her as your sponsor a portion of the sale went to he for the ride. I got this 6-inch Santoku knife - great for dicing and chopping.
with "roaming permissions" I gathered these photos today at an event in Arroyo Grande... the Rhett Bell Scholarship Foundation Fundraiser; sponsored by Pampered Chef - Consultant: Ariana Spaulding... 25% of all sales generated from this event will go to fund the Rhett Bell Scholarship Foundation. You can find out more about this Non-Profit Organization... I will update this later with more information.
Rhett Bell Scholarship Foundation
Pampered Chef - Ariana Spaulding - the Rhett Bell Scholarship Foundation Fundraiser Ordering will be closed on Saturday July 16th.
COOK BOOK: BIB'S APRON - a collection of recipes... the purchase goes towards the Rhett Bell Scholarship Foundation.

Trying to save money by making dinner. After this pic I finished the veggie chili on the stove and made a tuna casserole, which is now in my freezer for future use. I LOVE to cook but I just never do.
Such foods are considered #prebiotic because superfoods with their fiber intact create the perfect environment for beneficial #probiotic bacteria. That's why CK often uses a #vitamix to create a wholefood #smoothie that moves more slowly through the digestive tract for maximum nutrition and probiotic activity.
CK Hall, your Pampered Chef consultant.@ckscooking, works with a 35-year old company that provides cooking tools and recipe ideas to health-minded people through food and fellowship. Here's her latest #wholefood #greensuperfood #recipe:
#MightyGreens and Fiber today. Went for the Vitamix! Perfect after some BodyCombat!
1 cup water
2 cups Organic power greens
2 celery
1/2 English cucumber
2 kiwi
1 granny smith apple
2 Medjool dates (sweet and fiber = SCORE)
1-1/4 Pines Organic #Wheatgrass Powder from @wheatgrass_people
Feeling good. Feeling strong smile emoticon

this was dinner tonight, and i barely tweaked the colors. this is absolutely delicious! and easy to make. the recipe for it can be found here:
www.pamperedchef.com/our_products/recipesearch/recipedeta...
i feel like today is my first day back to "real" life. i may not have a diagnosis, i may still be sick, but my little team of doctors have a "real" plan of action and that makes me feel much better about things.
plus this picture is of my first "real" meal since my procedures on monday. and it was delicious.
and today i got my first test back in my first "real" attempt at a college course. (real meaning i'm ready to be a serious student this time around) i got a 98% on it. considering i've bailed on this teacher and class twice before, i couldn't be happier!
