Recipe for Snicker Bar Salad (Yup, SALAD!)





I was watching a clip on YouTube with Paula Deen the other day (Food TV person) and the interviewer asked her, "How do you eat like this all of the time? It's so bad for you. At a time when Americans are overweight, out of shape, and eating so much processed food . . . . I mean, you make things like Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding and Deep Fried Macc-n-Cheese. How do you justify eating like that?"

To which Paula replied . . .

"Well, the way I see it is everything in moderation. If I were hit by a bus on the way out of this interview, I sure wouldn't want my last meal to have been a salad. I don't want some green leaf flying out of my mouth. No, I want to make sure I've had some potato salad, a burger, cake, somewhere in there."

And then she went on with her life and food philosophy.

She said, there are some things in life you eat or do once a week. Some once a month. Others just once a year. And a few . . . once in a lifetime is enough (she referenced a burger she makes using a donut for the bun here).

Anyway, I love that philosophy!

And I'm adopting it as of TODAY!

So, with that in mind I'm sharing SNICKER SALAD with you today--something you shouldn't eat once a week, but maybe once a year? Once a month?

You decide.

It looks yummy (thanks for giving me the tip, mom.)

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
