What did she say???

I know I haven't updated my blog in a while, but I'll give it a shot today. It's not that I didn't have anything to write about, on the contrary, I have so much stuff in my head that I had a hard time translating it into something legible.
I tend to write exactly what I'm thinking and exactly how I'm thinking it with no filter or editing. Last week I tried writing and it came out like insane psycho babble. My thoughts were just all over the place.  People already question my sanity, I didn't think I needed to add fuel the fire. (ha ha) I really didn't think anyone wanted to read that stuff anyway, but then I started getting message after message of people asking when I was going to update my blog again, and the story was the same in each message that I opened. They love that I write about things that they are thinking or have experienced but would never say out loud. Isn't that something? Who would have thought.... huh! You see, my whole life I have been told that my mouth will get me in trouble, and it has. Many many times. But I have finally found a way to use my powers for good! Hooray for that! LOL.
So long story short, I'm back here again. I will use this (again) to get out of my current funk and get going.
Recently I've been having to work way too hard to find motivation and my "happy place." I have to drag myself to workout and drag myself away from a cheeseburger way too often these days. I swear I have some kind of hormonal imbalance or something. One minute I'm feeling fierce and sexy, and the next I want to drink wine straight from the bottle and eat pizza till I pass out. (and this can be all in the same day!) So today I try to turn over yet another new leaf... I really hope I don't run out of leaves to turn. Do all people do this, or is it just me being insane as usual? I really think I do more restarting than moving forward sometimes.
In celebration of mentally starting over I bring you a scrumptious dessert that will not break the rules. Somedays we just need dessert. Better to make this on a bad day than eat the ice cream with a serving spoon. (I have never done that!) LOL.

                      

This little gem tastes like a sinful apple pie. Put a dollop of low fat whipped cream on the top and you'l be in heaven. It takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. 2 apples gave my family of 4 1/2 an appropriate portion each. So it's cheap too!
Start by slicing 2 tart apples (like granny smith)

In a saucepan add 1 tbs butter or substitute, 1 tbs. brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp, cinnimon. add the apples and then and simmer for a few minutes to coat the apples in the sauce. 

In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 tbs of butter or substitute, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1 tsp of brown sugar, and a few drizzles of water to make a moist crumble. Place the apples in a baking dish and cover with the crubmble. Bake until golden. You're welcome.


As long as you don't eat the whole thing like a piggy this has waaaaaaayyyyy less calories that a traditional dessert.

I swear I will be back tomorrow with new things and we'll be talking about the taboo. S    E     X.   0_O!!! Can she do that? yup, she can. Hasta mañana!!
