Cottage Cheese Fudge?
Am I kidding? No. And this is really good. My only complaint is that I couldn’t get the cottage cheese creamy enough. My fudge was a little lumpy. 1 bag of chocolate chips, melted. I melted mine double boiler style. You can melt them in a microwave; just make sure not to cook them. 1Continue reading “Cottage Cheese Fudge?”
I did it,
For the month of November, I did the walking challenge 100 miles. 3.5 miles per day. I did it. A few days were really hard. Didn’t feel good. Tired. Just wanted to go to bed. But I did it. What did I win? Just the knowledge that I can do 3.5 miles a day.

Stuffed Pepper Soup
I mentioned that I’m going to start sharing some recipes that I’ve been making as part of my weight loss journey or making better food choices. I didn’t quite follow the instructions. Instead of ground beef, ground pork was in the freezer. Didn’t use the salt or rice. Used riced cauliflower instead. Dumped everything intoContinue reading “Stuffed Pepper Soup”
