Herbed Whole Wheat Breadsticks

As mentioned previously, D and I love to find our favorite foods and make them healthy. Case in point bread sticks. I think the discussion about this one came while wishing we had some Papa John's Breadsticks with the cheese sauce, in which my mouth is salivating just thinking about it! ANYWAY! A couple of weeks ago we had a few snow days so I decided to try my hand at baking. These turned out GREAT! The link is below. I have actually made these twice and the second time we got some nacho cheese sauce and it was pretty darn close to Papa's! I do have one pre-requisite though....there must be plenty of WINE!!! However, notice there is a bottle of vitamin water too :)

If it weren't for him there wouldn't be any Little Britches....

Let me start this post by saying Happy Valentine's Day! And well since it is the day you are suppose to declare your love I guess I will join in the festivities! I must say that D- (you all know who that is) is the reason for Little Britches....both figuritivly and literally!

When we met, which is a whole 'nother post or two in itself, I hadn't quite reached my heaviest weight but I was gaining (HA!) close to it. About 8 months into our relationship, I had stepped on the scale and was in shock, I mean my drivers license said I was 165 lbs so I couldn't possibly weigh 247 right?! I worked up the courage to ask him for some help and I was extremely nervous, like I said before, what was I suppose to say to my new man....I'm fat and I need your help? But that's exactly what I said and exactly what he did! He has stuck by me through THICK and THIN (too funny), gave me the extra push and support that I have needed through out this 4 year journey. I will admit, I haven't always appreciated his extra zest for pushing me, but it has proven that it worked! I love him for his quirky eating habits....although not everyone does (You all know who you are! LOL). I love the fact that we now try to find healthy options for our favorite dishes..(will post some later) and that we are passing on good habits to our Dellaney.

And finally I love him as a father of our little girl. As the title of this post suggests....If it weren't for him there wouldn't be any Little Britches ;)

The many adventures of Little Britches!

Della a.k.a. Little Britches is getting bigger everyday! She's 2 going on 20! Some of the things she says and does just makes us giggle! I promise to post more as time goes on. Here's an updated picture of us clowning around!

I'm back!!!

Alright, so sue me, it's been a while...(more like MONTHS) since my last entry. However, I am happy to report that I have lost more weight! We had a biggest loser contest here at work and I came in second to a fierce competitor! I even tried to sabotage her efforts, not very nice I know!

I am now a close 10 pounds (really 11.5 pounds but I like to round down) away from 100 pounds!! I can't believe it! It's been a very long journey and even as I type I am craving some chocolate!
