Wednesday's Wonderful Recipe

Since I have posted a dessert, and a main dish, today's recipe is an appetizer! I think I have brought this to at least one MOMS Club event....if not, I may just start bringing it everytime! The original recipe is from the Knorr Vegetable Soup package, but I added a little extra something, so I now call it my recipe! Spinach Dip 1 pkg. (10oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained well 1 container (16oz) sour cream 1 cup mayonnaise 1 pkg. Knorr Vegetable recipe mix 1 can (8oz) water chestnuts, chopped 3 green onions, chopped 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese Combine all ingredients (except cheese) and chill for two hours. Right before serving mix in Swiss cheese. Serve with veggies or crackers or my favorite, tortilla chips!

Fight The Frump Friday....continued

Alright....this week's FTF is about taking care of yourself by keeping your hair maintained. Get it cut every 6 weeks or so to help it keep the shape/style you like. Make sure you go in often enough to keep the color fresh, and keep the roots from showing through.

I couldn't talk about it until today, since I haven't been true to my own advice.

Today, I FINALLY got my hair cut and streaked and styled and it feels great!!!!! I love the cut, love the color and don't feel so frumpy! Even in a ponytail my hair is cute and a bit bouncy.

So here is the before:

Tons of hair!!!

I forgot to have my Mom take one right before it was cut, so all I have is the pile of hair on the salon floor...SORRY!

And here is the after:

Un-Frumpy Anj!

What do you think...shorter, with blond highlights and some darker red....I don't think it is "frumpy" and I don't think it is considered a "Mom" cut. But tell me the truth...I can handle it!

Fight The Frump Friday

Fight The Frump Friday will be a little late today.....stay tuned......

Wednesday's Wonderful Recipe-Fettuccini with Ham and Mushrooms in a Rose Sauce

So here is Wednesday’s Recipe, it is easier to make than the name implies. I find my recipes from quite a few places, blogs, recipe web sites, and friends. This one was made by a friend for a luncheon, but she found it on allrecipes.com. All Recipes is a great place to find a variety of recipes, including reviews and variations. My favorite feature is the “ingredient search”. You can type in any ingredient you have, AND even type in ingredients you don’t have (or that your husband won’t eat), and it will come up with a recipe match. It has saved us from the same old boring recipes quite a few times! So make Fettuccini with Ham and Mushroom Rose Sauce, (the picture with the recipe, isn't quite right, so don't go by that pic please!)and enjoy! (I make two batches ½ ham and mushroom, ½ just ham…DH doesn’t eat mushrooms, poor guy!)

Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom....MOM!

That is all I have heard these last few days.......after every "Mom" I say "What?" and I get "Mom" right back. It is getting really, really annoying, and I am not sure how to combat it. I can't just ignore her.....she only gets louder. I shout "WHAT! I AM RIGHT HERE!", and it makes her cry. Maybe I just need to run away...yeah that's it....I will run away and hide in the bathroom for a few hours (OK...minutes). But then, I will get the knocking on the door and the little fingers under the door, and eventually "bubba" will come to find me and he will push the door open (I really need to fix that lock). UGH! I guess she is just trying to make sure I know I am "Mom" and not actually a real person.

Fight The Frump Friday-Sunglasses as a hair accessory

Once again, we try to Fight The Frump. This week it will be short. Sunglasses are one of the greatest accessories of all time! Not only are they great at helping us fight sun damage (wear them whenever you are in the sun!) but they are great at holding your hair out of your face. It almost doesn't matter how drap your hair looks, as long as you slide your groovy glasses up on top of your head.....your hair has instant sass. So go to it...buy some new sunglasses to use as a hair accessory! (I know this is being posted early...don't know if I will get the chance to post tomorrow, I've got a busy day ahead!)

Correction

OK...I guess I should have checked my poll after the voting closed. Two of you voted for me to have a regular Wednesday post, not just 1. I stand corrected and am deeply sorry for any hurt I may have caused whichever person voted along with Allison (Who was it anyway? Katie did you get a vote in b-4 it closed, or Allison, did you vote again?)
