What is it about the word “diet” that makes me so damn hungry?

It’s what’s for dinner.

1/2 c. (1 stick) butter
2 tsp. minced garlic (4 cloves)
1 lb. lg. shrimp, shelled, deveined
2 med. red bell peppers, seeded, sliced
1 tbsp. dried leaf basil, crumbled
2 tsp. dried parsley
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground pepper
1/2 lb. spinach linguini, cooked and drained

In large skillet, melt butter, saute garlic 1 minute. Add shrimp, red pepper slices, basil, parsley, salt and pepper.
Saute 3 to 5 minutes until shrimp are tender. Serve over linguini.

Yum!

I made Mexican for dinner last night and these new Flour Tortilla Chips are awesome !

It may only be 24 degrees outside but that didn’t stop me from enjoying some DQ this afternoon with the girls.

Oh my gawd, I need some chocolate.  I don’t just want it, I need it.
And I have none! Not even one stray little kiss, I already checked the bottom of my purse and nada.
Not sure if it is stress (Lord knows I have it) or hormones (Lord knows they have been wacked) that are driving me so crazy lately but what ever it is I know for sure chocolate is the fix and I have over two and a half hours to go before I can leave work.

Any one else plan to enjoy a Paczki today?
I bought a strawberry filled one to eat during my morning break.
And I am not letting myself feel guilty about it either.

My candy bowl, ready for Valentines Day!

My house smells so good right now.
I kicked off the new year by making a big turkey dinner with all the fixings and with a little help from Sara Lee I even baked a dutch apple pie.

If I was going to invent a candle scent, this would be it. A turkey with all the fixings candle. What do ya think? I think it would sell. Okay, whos got the funding?

I ate multi grain oat meal this morning instead.

When I got dressed this morning my jeans were a little tighter in the ass area.
I am blaming the Cinnabon Rolls I bought for Christmas morning.
I am going to try to not eat the couple that are left over and still sitting in our kitchen. But it might just be easier to go out any buy a new pair of jeans.

They are that good!

OMG, I just ate our last little Kit Kat bar!
I have been sneaking one into the computer room two some times three evenings a week since Halloween.

I think I may be addicted.

TO DIE FOR !
