Cut me Mick! (donalds)

So, day 7 of my lemonade fast. im starting to want to eat everything. Talking about what i want to eat keeps me from actually doing it :) right now I just keep thinking to myself, "make it to monday" Monday is definitely my birthday, so that means I'll get to eat real food at day 13! woot! woot! I really really want to eat some Cafe Rio, Kneaders, Outback, and Krispy Kreme... and i think im going to go to all of them. :) Sadly, when i saw this picture the first thing i though of was "yum"...

I know its sad.... this is a Krispy Kreme bacon cheese Burger.... :)

Fine, I'll make other people fat then.

So, for some reason while dieting I go crazy and bake everything I have the ingredients for.

I must say these are probably my best invention cookie yet. :) Its a peanut butter cookie made from from scratch with chocolate chips in the center, then on top of the chocolate chips is a huge piece of a Reeses' bar giving it somewhat of a flying saucer look. Then drizzled on top are melted chocolate and peanut butter. I have to rely on my testers tell me they're amazing as I cant try them...

Here are , more pictures so you can fully understand the magnitude and the amazingness:


Sadly i have no pictures of my other culinary ventures this week, but I will say that my home made marble brownies with frosting and the ever popular "No Bakes" are worthy of Honorable mentions :)


One more for the road :)


So until next time, Happy cooking :)

Lemonade nastyness

If Beyonce can do it I can!!!!

So there is a fad diet out at the moment called the Master Cleanse aka the "lemonade diet".

Your daily ration of food is as follows:
2 liters of water
5 Lemons/limes
1/4 cup of organic grade B syrup
Cayenne Pepper to taste (about a teaspoon)
- Mix and drink throughout the day. Nothing else but water and vitamins.
- continue this for at leased 10 days and no more than 40.

Now, before i get a ton of comments telling me how unhealthy this is, let me just say that I've already done it. I went for the 12 days before Thanksgiving, and lost 13 lbs. It was freakin' awesome. Of course I gained all that 'probably water' weight back but I found a great way to get thin when your short on time! :) It was hard around day 3 and 4, I craved everything in sight, even things I didn't like. After that though it wasn't as bad as you would think. I am now attempting to do it again, but this time for the total 40 days. (with the exception of my birthday and possibly valentines day) Also I'm going to add fiber and diet coke to my everyday meal plan. (can you blame me?)


Here are some before and afters of Beyonce who did it for like 14 days and lost 17 Lbs.




So wish me luck and hopefully I stay on for the entire time :)

Hello World of Blogger's! Its official. I am sad to say that apparently I give in quite easily to peer pressure. After continual harassment, I have decided to join the ranks. Here you go world! ok, so maybe not much of a first post, but its the first thing I thought of. :)

In the name of all the "servers" out there, here is a list of simple things you can do to NOT make life easier on your waitress. (we're so pleased to be of service!)



1. Bring your badly behaved kids with you.
- We servers love kids! However, when you let throw there plasticwear all over the
restaraunt, smash Mac n' Cheese all over the seats, tables, centerpieces, BBQ sauce bottles,
eachother, the floor, or anybody else it makes clean up quite a bit more difficult for us
when you leave.

2. Be indecisive when you order
- Customer:"ok I'll have the Beef brisket, thats pork right?"
Server: "No sir, thats beef, But we do have a pulled pork sandwich?"
Customer: "Do you have ribs?"
Server: "Yes sir we have ribs, would you like the half or whole rack?"
Customer: "Uhhh dear what do you thi....ooh! you have chicken! like by itself ?"
Server: "yes sir you can get it in a platter. the platter comes with two sides."
Customer: "oh rite sides... what are they again?
Server: "the sides are Mac n' cheese, roll, baked beans, applesauce, mashed potatoes,
fries, sweet potato fries, as you'll see right here on your menu."
Customer: "Just give me uh....... beans, no! mashed potatoes! ummm what do you like?"
ETC.... ETC....

3. Round her tip the nearest dollar, no more!
- your tip is our rent money. (some of us dont get payed by our employers)We love you, so
love us :)

4. Demand attention when your server is with another table
-ie. waving arms, standing up, yelling across the room, tapping your server on the shoulder
when she's with another table, etc.

These simple things among others will help to srtess, anger, and distress your waitress.


good luck!
