ONE:
Some friends and I participated in Blindfolded Bowling last night to benefit the Southern Eye Bank. My friend works there and helps put on the event but that is not the only reason why I did it! It is for a great cause; it felt good to Do Good like a good Delta Gamma should, especially in the service for sight, which is our signature charity! Our team was named Tears of Destruction. We kicked butt and took names!
TWO:
I am hosting "Non book club book club" Saturday. This is for my more serious of the two book clubs to which I belong. We usually do a book one month and then an activity of some sort the following month. We are having a speaker on travel points, as in the easiest ways to get them, how to redeem them to get the most bang for your buck and whatever else he teaches us. I am making a yummy brunch spread, all borrowed from Half Baked Harvest. Get ready for Bacon twists, blueberry brie biscuits and a vegetarian low carb breakfast casserole soon!
THREE:
I tried the new Pure Barre class, Empower, yesterday. It was awesome. I think I am going to do a full post on that. I am trying to get back on the healthy train, well just get all my limbs back inside it. I am not in full on off the wagon mode, but something (maybe it is my steady Tuesday date nights) has caused me to gain 8 pounds semi-recently. In strange news, apparently Amanda and several other bloggers are up 8 pounds too! I am hoping this new class sprinkled in with pure barre, cutting back on my daily wine habit and not allowing myself so many cheat days can right the ship. I am not ready to surrender to an old lady metabolism!
FOUR:
Speaking of skipping cheat days, I have been craving a good old fashioned casserole and Plain Chicken posted this one the other day I just need! Amanda's article was read the same day and it got me thinking to somehow healtify it. I know...Shirataki Noodles! I've used them in Chicken Tetrazzini, why wouldn't they work with this? I will find out next week when I make it, they were on sale at Whole Foods! I also will be using my own cream of celery I made that is in my freezer and a homemade sub for Velveeta! Wish me (and you in the future when I get around to posting about it!) luck! Have you used shirataki noodles before?
FIVE:
I have not taken nearly as many trips as I have wanted to this year. I guess I took too many last year! This article was fascinating as it used Facebook to track down where the most unusually popular places to travel are for each state. I have only been to France out of Louisiana's top five, and that was 15 years ago! I need to start planning some trips! How do you fit in with yours?Well there it is! Happy Friday, the weekend is nigh! I hope you have a wonderful time with people you love! See you back next week with a recap and some food!
Happy Cooking!
