When I first came across the blog Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Pickles, I had to laugh at the title . This is a title you are not going to forget. I personally would not put pickles on anything, but I know people who would. I also love the tagline: (on low-carb bread). I had to laugh out loud at that too. Its like ordering 1,000 calorie meal with a diet coke. LOL

I love that posts here are short, sweet, and to the point. They are very informative and enjoyable to read. I have to laugh at some of the title of her posts like Porn For Low-Carbers. I can only imagine the search engine hits she is going to get for that one! She also has great posts like Rebounding which talk about working through eating disorders.

This is another blog you should definitely check out!

Giving Thanks: A Native American Good Morning Message is a book that was given to me by cousin after her sister (who was also my cousin died). I was very close to this cousin, and this book helped in the grieving process. My cousin also put an article that was printed in the local paper about my cousin inside with the message that “if it’s irreplaceable, don’t take it for granted”.

This book is about giving thanks. However, it is not giving thanks for the material things like Asanti grills. Instead, it is about giving thanks for the wind, for the animals, for the moon, and things like that. It truly makes you take a step back, and look at the simple things in your life that you are truly thankful. This is children’s book that even us adults can learn from.

The one gift that I thought I would never want, because we would never use it is our George Foreman Grill. Honestly, I never dreamt in a million years that we would use it as much as we do!  It makes dinner so much easier and healthier.  I love that you can see the fat draining off your food.  However, your food remains just as tasty if not more so.  We often season our steaks and burgers right on the grill.  It doesn’t heat up your entire house, and cleanup is a breeze.  All you have to do is take a wet cloth to it.  We have made things like hot dogs, brats, steaks, chicken breasts, and hamburgers on there.  I even know people who have done bacon!  This is a must have in everyone’s kitchens!

I am happy to report that from my last post about them, I had not only one but two people contact me to help me. We were gone to Green Bay over the last few days, so I was just finally able to get back to the people who contacted me. I have to admit that I am impressed. I honestly did not expect anybody to contact me at all. Now, if they can only get it to work, I’ll be in seventh heaven. Windows Live Writer is like a billet grille; it is not something you need, it is just something you’d really like to have.  I am hoping to have a third installment about my experience shortly.
