Sweets!

I have had a sweet tooth from heck the last few days.  I blame my uterus.
Cause why not?! 
Anyway, I  have been trying to feed the sugar-craving monkey on my back while still keeping with my wheat free diet, as i don't want to end up in excruciating pain... like you do.


So, I tried 2 recipes today.  The first was for Vanilla refrigerator candy, and was banging. I don't have a lot of Swerve in my house, so I used KAL stevia, and it was delightful.

The second was a pumpkin ice cream recipe.  I am searching for a link, but i think my computer might have gotten hungry and ate it up.

Here's what i did:

1/2 c pumpkin (I had an open can in the fridge.  I used the rest)
1 frozen banana
1 splash of coconut milk
1 drizzle maple syrup
2 shakes pumpkin pie spice

Spin that in the Ninja cup

devour shamelessly with a spoon (I did share with my kids... promise.)

I'm thinking of making some kind of spin on the Refrigerator candy with pumpkin... I'm on a pumpkin kick.  I think my friend BBQ said it best, "Of course you're on a pumpkin kick...cause it's fall and you're a white girl."

Well said, BBQ... well said.

This might get graphic...

Guys, yesterday was a bad day. Not very many of you knew it, but I was scheduled for a uterine ablation. I was excited at the prospect of not having a period anymore. (Yes, I'm talking about periods. Gross. Moving on.)  They have gotten pretty rough, not letting me do a 90 minute swim without having to stop and change my tampon. I am crampy and uncomfortable the majority of the month. This , among other things, is less than convenient. So, yeah, I was looking forward to surgery. My husband brings me into the surgery center, I get prepped, they take me back, I go night night. I wake up... "We were unable to complete the procedure" No one was willing to go into too many details, as I was coming out of general anesthesia, and still kind of in and out. I remember talking briefly with the doc, but no one else. A nurse came to take me to recovery. She got me into the big chair in the recovery room. I began to cry. She covered me up, and held me while I ugly cried. She han...

Thank God for mama friends

We just got home from a play date! The kids were completely wore out... Which means a rare moment of quiet for me.  At first, it felt like I was a kid in a candy store.. how do I spend these precious minutes?!  Laundry?  Dishes?  Nap? Knitting?  Catch up on my DVR? Sit in a semi-vegetative state and just stare? So... I'm recording our morning! JP and I were talking about it all morning.  He's in a *ahem* unique place right now.  We have been struggling with listening and not throwing fits when he doesn't like what I have to say.  So...he's a 4 year old. What do you do...? He actually did really well... no fits to speak of. He did, however, throw a cup of pool water at me... from the back. I tensed up, falling into the "furious apology" mindset.  Then I looked at the other women, 3 other moms who have kids at JP's school, and they all continued to chat, gloriously ignoring the fact that I was completely mortified. I relaxed.  This...

Fried Rice!

I was sooooooooo done with yesterday. After a pretty cranky day, I decided that I wanted fried rice for dinner. So I jumped onto the website for an Asian restaurant down the street from our house (they also deliver, cause I was feeling super extra lazy) and order some house fried rice, and a few things for my husband.  I got an order confirmation email right away. So we wait. ...and wait. ...and wait. ...and wait some more. 45 minutes tick by, then an hour.  I go back to the website to grab a phone # to make sure our order will get here before the place closes.  That's when i see they aren't even open on saturdays. *dramatic music* *falls to knees and shakes fist at the sky while simultaneously  bursting into tears* NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! So i warmed up some squash and ate some refrigerator candy... which was good, but not what my uterus... er.... belly wanted. So, i set out  to make some myself.  At first it just started...
