THE SECRET INGREDIENT IS.....

For a family home evening we did for my ward we did an IRON CHEF type activity. We had 2 teams and picked either a dessert or appetizer. Then depending on what you got you were giving an ingredient that you HAD to use. The secret ingredient for the appetizer was RADISHES and for the dessert was RICOTTA CHEESE!!! ha ha ha ha ha....so check out the pictures and see how it went:) SO FUN!!!!

Team 1...we're SO EXCITED!!!

team 2....WAY more excited than TEAM 1!!! ha ha ha ha...

we made a CHEESE ball and CRAB SALAD!!! turned out SO GOOD!!! seriously:)

here is team 2 with their desserts and drink:)

and the judges decision....WE LOVE IT ALL!!!! ha ha ha ha ha...

everyone had a BLAST!!!! such a FUN idea:)

Totally ready to take this weight loss SERIOUSLY!!!

So here is how I am going to finally get back into the shape that i want to be...and that would be a healthier shape:)

SO my friend Danny is basically a trainer and helps you figure out what you need to eat, BUT not crap that you don't WANT TO EAT!!!

If you are like me and just need someone PUSHING you a little bit to get those final results than check this website OUT and set up a consultation with Danny. Tell him that you heard about it from me and he MIGHT be a little shock realizing that i am SUCH a big deal!!! ha ha ha ha...

Something that i have ALWAYS wanted to do:)

Before i moved to California i used to take the temples for granted. They were always so close to us here in Utah and there were SO MANY OF THEM!!! you never really had to go out of your way or even take a whole day to have to go to the temple. So what am i getting at here? well, we have so MANY temples here and never take the time to go and see them ALL....BUT my dream isn't to go to all the Utah one, but to take a CALIFORNIA TEMPLE TRIP!!! wouldn't that be SO FUN!!! just start at the top of the state and work my way DOWN...of course i would do it in UTAH TOO, but i just really want to do it in CALIFORNIA:)

so i would start with Sacremento...

then head south west to Oakland...

then go to my mission's temple...FRESNO...

then i'd hit up another BIG temple and go to Los Angeles...

after that i'd head south east to REDLANDS..

of COURSE you have to go coastal and hit up NEWPORT...one of my favorites;)....

and END it all at my FAVORITE and where i WILL get married ONE DAY....

SAN DIEGO!!!!

Have you EVER wanted to host your OWN SHOW?

Well, i have done it TWICE NOW!!! ha ha ha ha...for the ward activities i have been the host for FAMILY FEUD and THE DATING GAME!!! ha ha ha ha...both were a HUGE success and both were a TOTAL BLAST!!! apparently i am pretty funny, but the people just can't seem to get enough. and can you BLAME THEM????
