Poppy seeds, and more Poppy Seeds!

Well, we are still doing cooking lessons.  Aubrie spent most of thursday looking at recipe books.  She has a list of things she wants to make.  Top on her list was...Poppy Seed Muffins and bread.  We found numerous recipes.  All about the same, but we found 4 that had different variations.  We wanted to know which one tasted the best, so what did we do... We made all 4 recipe's!  The first one was a basic recipe with no flavorings, the second was a lemon / butter flavor with orange glaze.  The third, was a almond / butter flavor, with orange glaze.  The fourth was lemon with lemon glaze.  We had all the muffins lined up and numbered.  The results....Lots and lots of muffins and bread.  Everyone liked the Almond/ butter and the Lemon came in second.  The least favorite was the basic.

This week/ months has gone by so quickly.  We are 16 days away from when Zachary will come back from Catalina island. 24 days away from the first day of school (which will be weird, cause only Zachary and Aubrie will be in school this year.)   Weston has 10 weeks till he goes on his mission.

Yesterday I went shopping and got about $1,000 worth of clothes for free!  how you wonder? Well I went shopping in my own closet!  Yes I saved all my "thinner" clothes from 3 years ago.  It was so exciting to find that everything not only fits, but some of it I should have unpacked earlier!  And the nice thing is, that most of my clothes are still in fashion.  I tend to go more for clasic, more than trendy anyway. It is so worth it to eat healthier!  I could sit and kick myself  for waisting so much time "Thinking" I was making good choices an eating right.  I have found that measuring my food has made all the difference.
