Things will be changing soon!

Happy Monday All!

We found out rather recently that JL's parents will be moving in soon, with his younger sister, and this will be a huge relief for JL and I. Not only will we be saving a substantial amount of money on rent and bills, I will have help to clean the house and cook. I love cooking, you all know that, but it's kinda nice to have someone cook for me for a change. Now I will be able to be more experimental with my recipes because if something goes wrong, there is a back up option, other than tacos from Jack in the Box.

This will be something hard for us since we are used to being on our own but I figure if I just focus on the positive and come to the realization that this is no longer just our house now, it will all be ok.

I can imagine the occasional upset but overall, I have our room and my space and that is all I need, not to mention a hefty amount of shopping money now at my finger tips! This will also allow us to get a gym membership again and I can guess I will be spending lots of time there too, losing weight and saving money... not sounding bad at all :)

So recipe... recipe... Sadly I didn't do a lot of cooking this past weekend but I did try out some Banana Wheat Oatmeal Cookies that turned out ok... I will be trying to make them into energy bites so the recipe will be on hold until I get it just right.

But if you have an urge to bake then try some of my favorites from Paula Deen herself, I always say you can't go wrong with Paula!
