A fall painting


I'm trying to paint something new every week.


Look what I painted this week!



Yayyyy me! I'm giving it to my mom tonight. I think we're probably going to want to go to Michael's to get it framed, though.

Next week I'm going to paint something for my Dad, but I'm not sure what yet...

Bloggity Blog


Time to start blogging again!


I am sitting here watching Glee, eating a delicious salad. Marinated steak tips, red onion, iceberg and romaine hearts, green peppers, edamame, cucumbers, chick peas, carrots and fresh parmesan cheese.


I've been trying really hard to lose some weight since I've been back at school, and lost 4 pounds on my first week back! I start my exercise routine next week, now that I'm all familiarized with where my classes are.


For now, I'm posting a recipe I just made the other day!


Low Fat but still yummy cupcakes

1 Box of whatever cake mix you want

1 can of whatever diet soda you want

(I used French vanilla cake mix and a can of diet cream soda)


1 tub of cool whip light

1/2 block of neufchatel cheese (reduced fat cream cheese)- room temp

1/2 tsp vanilla


Mix them together, and fill your cupcake cups in your muffin tin. Cook according to the box's instructions.


Icing:


Blend together 1 tub of cool whip light with the 1/2 block of cream cheese, and add the vanilla.


Simple, right? They're delicious, though! I topped mine with sprinkles.
