I have not been cooking meals lately. I really do not bother because my mom sends us meals if she has leftovers – and my kids eat it. My son just gets food from the school canteen everyday since December began because the cold weather isnt helping me get up early to prepare breakfast for him. When the husband is home from work we rarely stay home we eat out a lot. I want to cook again because it is not good for our budget – maybe soon I can have the drive to cook. I hope! ( or else our kitchen and dining tables can just serve as ping pong tables!

I need to steer clear of sweets this holiday season if I know what is best for me. I can eat everything and manage not to gain weight IF I can give the sweets a rest. I eat them before I eat the main course and eat them AFTER! A relative’s family is booked on one of Alabama’s orange beach hotels

and they are raving on the dessert buffet station – everything imaginable from cakes to chocolates and assorted fruit pastries. I want to try it sometime!
