Mmmm...Cookies

One of my Christmas gifts this year was a box of "Heart Healthy Oatmeal Cookie" mix from Lehi Roller Mills. I finally broke it out yesterday morning to give it a try. (Of course, with a name like that, it's a wonder I didn't break it out sooner.) Now let me preface this by saying that I love cookies. Rarely is there a cookie or a brownie - or a milkshake, or a french fry, or a donut - that I turn down. However, I'm kind of a purist, and really don't go for cookies that aren't homemade. So I wasn't sure about a mix. I mean, it didn't have any kind of chocolate in it all. But as Steph says, I'm the prepared one, so I was able to fix it up with some Guittard chocolate chips that I just happened to have on hand. Of course, in keeping with the Heart Healthy theme, they were dark chocolate chips, so there were plenty of healthy antioxidants to go with the cholesterol controlling oatmeal.

So I made them and then took some to my brother's family last night for Sunday dinner. And boy were they ever a hit. I never saw two kids go so crazy for Oatmeal chocolate chip. (Sometimes it's not that difficult being the world's best Aunt. Seriously - all it takes is a little chocolate and you have them eating out of the palm of your hand.)

I tried some myself and have to say I was impressed. I brought the rest in to work today, and before I knew it, they were all scarfed down in the space of a few minutes. So kudoes to Lehi Roller Mills "Heart Healthy Oatmeal Cookie" mix. I can see I'm going to have to add to my food storage.

Those sound good. NO WAY they're as good as your special chocolate chip cookies though. Oh man, I'm gonna be thinking about those ALL DAY NOW!

New 'Do

For probably the last 10 years or so, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle. For the most part, it's been long, all one length, and I would eventually put it up in a ponytail almost every day, because I couldn't stand having it in my face. It drove me crazy, but I didn't know what to do with it, and at the same time, I liked that I could basically get up and go every day without a lot of effort. For the past several months now, I've been threatening to do something different and drastic, and finally, yesterday, I did. At the recommendation of Angel, I made an appointment with her stylist. It took several weeks to get in, but finally, the day arrived. Angel went with me, for moral support, and to be the photographer. I went in with some basic ideas, but after some consultation and looking at photos with Francine, this is what I ended up with. First, the "before" shot: In process: And finally, the finished product: I can't remember the last time

Tidying Up

If you've been watching Netflix much lately, you've probably seen the new series "Tidying Up", with Marie Kondo. She's an expert in cleaning, tidying, and storing stuff, and her method is quite inspiring. I enjoyed the show so much that I ordered her book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up", and spent several days trying to get my house more in order. Not that I'm a hoarder - I have a basically tidy home. But the Kon-mari method teaches you to look at your belongings and ask yourself if each particular belonging brings you joy. If it doesn't, it's time for it to move on. I went through all my clothes first, followed by my books and DVD's, followed by the office, followed by the kitchen and laundry room. Whatever didn't bring me joy or a happy memory went into the pile. And when all was said and done, I ended up taking an entire car full of stuff to the local Deseret Industries, to hopefully be re-purposed for someone else to find

Triple D Divas Do Northern Utah

Last Saturday, the Triple D Divas met for a day trip get-away to Northern Utah - specifically Logan and Brigham City (with a little touch of Idee-ho thrown in for good measure). We started our journey with lunch at the Bluebird Cafe. Everyone knows about the Bluebird - it's about the oldest place on main street, and is tradition for anyone whose ever done a Logan Temple Trip. We went in to see the Logan Tabernacle, and I snapped this cool picture of the oragn pipes. (Of course, now that we're all in our 40's and have shrinking bladders, the Tabernacle also made for a clean and convenient potty stop.) ...Also a view of the Logan Temple spires from outside the Tabernacle...    From there, it was off to Glossner's Cheese Factory for some squeaky cheese. After that, we went to the Pepperidge Farms Outlet, and the girls all found some cookies and stuff.  But nothing really excited me there.  However, the outlet is located in
