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.

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”
