Picture Overload!
Ok! So I have lots of updating to do. I'll try and keep it short as I know how I tend to ramble when a keyboard is at my mercy......
While we were at home we saw our parents and also drove up to Pennsylvania to see my Grandparents. It was nice. Oh, also, instead of driving the 24 hrs without stopping, this time around we got a hotel in Missouri (lovingly nicknamed "Misery"). We looked for a place to eat dinner and found a Japanese restaurant called Kyoto Restaurant. It's in Rolla, MO so look it up. We got the same hotel on the way back so we could eat there again. Yum! Here's a picture I took with my cell (left).
Yes... black bean brownies. So easy and super good. You'd never know the difference. All you need is:- 1 box brownie mix (1 lb)
- 15 oz can of black beans
Open the can of beans and rinse the beans; keep the can. Put the beans back in the can and fill can with water. Pour beans and water into a food processor and puree. Mix bean puree with dry brownie mix. DO NOT ADD OIL OR EGGS. Coat a 13x9 or 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray and fill with batter. Bake according to directions on box.
I used a 9x9 baking dish because I like my brownies thick. I also cut my brownies into 16 squares. Each square is 3 points. If you use a 13x9 inch dish you can cut them into 20 squares -which would be 2 points each.I found this recipe on Gina's Weight Watcher's Recipes blog: http://weight-watchers-points-recipes.blogspot.com/
What's next? Work! Well, yesterday hubby and I went down to the office to drop off some beer we had gotten our boss (Yuengling) and so that I could fax something. We chatted for a bit and my boss said that he would be putting us back to work soon. YAY! Today, while we are at Wal-mart he calls and says I'm going out tomorrow and he needs hubby tonight! Double YAY! When we talked to him yesterday he said things wouldn't be back full swing but it's steadily picking up. I'm so happy (though I really don't want to go back to work LoL)
Ok, on to random things. We got a kitten. I don't like cats but I find myself liking the fluff ball a little more each day. Here's a recent picture of her all cuddled up with hubby.

Ok, that's about it for now! I'll try and update in a few days with garden and food updates. :) Ciao!
