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.

Adventures of the 'stache

My husband played for a charity golf tournament this weekend. What came along with this adventure was a ridiculous beard. He decided that for this tournament, he needed a wicked handlebar mustache. Why, do you ask? I wish I had an answer. So, beginning with Thursday this week, he began systematically shaving down the full, bushy beard that he had been working on for weeks. First, there was the Chester Arthur: Then, there was the fu-manchu: Finally, he trimmed everything else down, and we were left with the handlebar... Doesn't it look like a fake? Like he went to Foy's and got a costume facial hair kit? It's almost too good to be true! The 'stache has since gone... maybe it will come and visit again one day. Also... I'm trying to get him to send the other pictures he took of the process... of course I will post such nuggets of joy upon receipt.

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...

Social media fast day one

Welp, today was eventful, but not. It was the kickoff to the spring semester for me, which meant I was overwhelmed from the time I woke up.  Unfortunately, I also woke up with some serious sinus pressure in my head, and some serious congestion to accompany it. So, what's a girl to do but make some ginger concentrate. I sliced a real big ginger root with my mandolin and simmered it in my biggest saucepan for a few hours. Add a splash of this stuff to a mug of hot water and a touch of honey... you have hot, not so sweet, gingerale. It's pretty awesome, and has helped open my head up a bit. After my big adventure out of the house for pens (which, as it turns out, I didn't really need) to keep myself organized for this semester, I got some Thai Kitchen noodle bowls, which is basically my option for Gluten free ramen. They come with rice noodles and spices. I decided the mushroom bowl I made needed , well, mushrooms. Luckily I had some in the fridge. I successfully resisted t...
