Kid Quote – WHAT’S for Lunch!?!?!?

I was making lunch for my kids and decided to go with a favorite at our house.  Grabbing cheese, tortillas, and butter from the fridge I grabbed a skillet and started heating it.  My Jayden saw what I was doing and absolute delight showed in his eyes.  He came running over, “Momma, are you making diarrhea?”

Stopping mid-motion I turned to him, “Wait! What did you say?”

“You making diarrhea?”  he repeated with eager enthusiasm.

Oh, so I hadn’t heard wrong.  I cannot tell you how hard it was for me to not melt to the floor in laughter as I managed to answer back,  “No, Honey, I’m making QUESADILLAS.”

More To Come

Okay, so you all know how to make a girl feel right guilty.  I cannot believe how many visitors I am still getting when I have been so abysmal about updating ANYTHING, much less putting out a comic.

So I am trying to get back into this yet again by expanding the scope of this site.  I have added a section to showcase some of my other interests.  That way, I will hopefully still get something up on this site when the bulk of my free time has been swallowed by something else.

Check out Zee Ozer Zings tab above if you are interested.

RECIPE - Happy Mommas

This recipe had been wandering around my thoughts for a very long time.  Ofcourse it sounded pretty good (a happy conglomerate of some favorites) , but it it wasn’t very diet friendly.  So it just got filed in the “When I’m Skinny” folder for later.

Well, June was crazy busy for us this year and I may have not been as faithful to my diet as I could have been…  Might have cheated just ever so slightly…  or I may have just blown it all to heck.  If you answered option 3 you would be closest to the truth.  After months of steadily losing 20 lbs, I gained 11 back in a week and a half.  Ugh!!!!!

So, throw in a day of grumpy kids, and a couple of pet peeves rubbing against my last nerve and I was ready for some comfort eating.  Big time.  I normally DON’T Turn to chocolate at times like these.  But, this time this recipe wafted into my thoughts again and I decided to “screw skinner” and go ahead and make it.  Mmmmmm… Heavenly!  Give me about 6 more and maybe I can tolerate things again…

Thus the name “Happy Mommas!”  ^_^ 

ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE 

I am still tweaking it and I usually go by “what looks right!”

1 cup creamy peanut butter
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 cup crushed pretzels
Melted chocolate (approx. 1/2 bag chocolate chips)

Mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until well blended in medium bowl.  Add in the crushed pretzels (you don’t want your pretzels to be pulverized to just powder, but you don’t want too big of pieces either).  Once all mixed together, form mixture into ½ to 1 inch balls.  Dip balls into melted chocolate and allow to cool on waxed paper.  Enjoy (and I give you permission NOT to share with the kids).
