But before I get started with this post, I want to say thank you so much for all of your kind words and support through my last struggle. Of course I'm not giving up, not yet anyway. I just needed to hear the reasons why I can't give up right now, because I'd forgotten them. Anyway...
I also wanted to post the recipe that my twitter friend, @ameliawoods and I will be making this weekend. We decided one day to both make the same recipe in the same evening, just for fun. It will be a healthy recipe, and we encourage anyone who wants to join us to join! Saturday night...are you ready??? We're doing an easy chicken dish...it's a weight watchers recipe for Lemon Glazed Chicken with Mushrooms. Here's the recipe:

ReplyDeletesounds good, and i think i already have all thsoe ingredients! hope your facial is good!
ReplyDeleteLol, I hate mushrooms. But I will just leave those out. I don't know what capers are, but I will google it. But I'm excited about cooking together. I will keep Tweetdeck open while cooking so we can chat about anything.
ReplyDeleteYa got your spunk back, Girl! Good to hear it!
ReplyDeleteThe recipe sounds good; would prefer if Emeril or Wolfgang would stop by and whip it up for me, though.
Capers are flower buds from a bush that are pickled in vinegar. Seriously! No calories. They are like tangy little olives, but firmer and no fat.
