DAY 2: Super Bowl Sunday. And good news, it rained!

Sundays in the Juanitas house usually starts out with a big breakfast. Today I made a Roasted Onion & Bacon Crustless Quiche. Going through my pantry and stockpile the past few weeks I discovered a small box behind the canned foods. It was from Tastefully Simple. They are a gourmet food, multi-level marketing company that has home parties to sell their product. And they have some really delicious stuff. Including the Roasted Onion Warm Dip Mix that I rediscovered. The side of the box has a recipe for the Quiche. I thought it would be a delicious Sunday breakfast. And it was yummy! Quiche is one of my favorite meals and this recipe only needs 3 eggs plus half and half. Well, I didn't have any half and half so I used 4 eggs and lowfat milk about a quarter cup less than the recipe. Plus last week I bought some bacon on sale $3.99/lb at Safeway from the meat counter, thick-cut applewood. Which is a really good deal. And can I just day, I hate that bacon has become so expensive because I enjoy it so much.The last ingredient was swiss cheese. I didnt have any swiss so I substituted 1 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup of cheddar. It came out perfect!
Sunday is also laundry day. So exciting! ~lol~ I like doing it on Sundays so that everything is ready for the week. Joel and the kids went to a friends house to watch the Super Bowl. They took a 9 inch round cake that was given to them last night as a thank you for doing security at the crab feed. We are not really a cake eating family and it would have gone to waste sitting here so, better to share it with friends.
The only money that came out of our pockets today was for the collection at church. And as soon as we walked out of church today it started to rain! Thanks be to God. We need the rain so badly here in California right now.
All in all it was a typical laid back Sunday sharing time as a family and with friends.

#2-Korean Restaurant

This a blog about trying new things. Reaching beyond my comfort zone, exploring and making the most of life. My goal is to try 52 new things. One per week for a year. When I told my husband Joel that I was starting a blog about trying new things, the first suggestion he had was "you should try new types of food".  Of course... he would say that. I do not like trying new foods. Let me repeat that: I do not like trying new foods. Ask anyone who really knows me. I go to the same restaurants and eat the same things, over and over. My husband, on the other hand, will eat anything. No, really, I mean ANYTHING. He always says, "if I went on Survivor I would be the only contestant to gain weight". It has always mildly annoyed him that I am not more adventurous when it comes to food. Luckily, I have other positive traits that help him get over it. He suggested Korean and Indian. Our friends and family have been talking about a new Korean restaurant that recently opened.

#5 Body Wrap

This a blog about trying new things. Reaching beyond my comfort zone, exploring and making the most of life. My goal is to try 52 new things. One per week for a year. A few months ago I was at the gym. Upon entering there was a table with two young women sitting there promoting a spa package deal. I bought it, $60 for 5 different treatments including a "spot" body wrap. It also included a one hour message, facial and acupressure. My second trip to the spa I decided to do the body wrap. The only wrap I had heard about, besides the one you eat, was being wrapped up like a mummy then covered in cellophane wrap as you proceed to sit in a sauna a sweat off the pounds. That's called a compression wrap. I did not get one of those. What I got was a lot different. Vicky took me into a room with a massage table. She asked me where I would like the spot wrap done. I said "my muffin top, my stomach". She said, "that's what most ladies get done". She to

#13-Medifast: Part 2

Continued... After ordering my Medifast food and a few days before it arrived I ate all my favorite foods. Kind of a binge good-bye to my dear friends...til we meet again. I had spent the day before my food arrived researching and reading anything I could find about Medifast including opinions on the food taste. Of course, everyone had an opinion and they were all different. Which means just about everything was sounding bad. I received my box of Medifast food August 31st. I opened it up and looked at my months worth of meals. It also came with some literature for me to read. Most of the meals are in powdered packets. Oatmeal, pudding, soup, brownies, soft serve ice cream, eggs, pancakes, shakes. They also have bars, puffs and pretzels. Annie shouts "I want a granola bar!" I wave my hands over the pile of food now spread out on the table..."this is all for mommy, ok?" Then I proceed to give her an apple for a snack. Inside I start to panic just a little but wonder
