If David could find a way to get his "recipe" FDA approved I think we'd be millionaires.
Dark Thai Pepper "HOT" Chocolate.
Last night I was having one of those evening...Ladies you know what I mean. You have all been there, you can fill in the blank ________ so there really is no reason for me to elaborate.
We have all heard about the wonders of Chocolate and what great things it does for us. Well I never really bought into that until last night. David melted a block of dark chocolate added some dry Thai pepper flakes them he stirred it into a pan of warm milk for the most wonderful HOT chocolate. If your reading this and are one that doesn't care for dark chocolate or you don't like hot spicy peppers, fuggedaboudit.... no substitutes will do! With out the DARK Chocolate and Thai peppers you simply have a cup of childs hot cocoa, and that won't cut it. Seriously, I have never experience such rich, soothing comfort in a cup. It calmed the savage beast within. Rich, Dark, Spicy, Creamy, warm Chocolate! Really do I need to say any more?
So now when I say I have the best husband in the world, you know that I'm telling the truth!

Menu Planning for March
I really don't have to say this because if you know me and are reading my blog then you know, I Love to cook. I love good food and I enjoy planning, shopping for and preparing good food.
I also remembered that by planning out a couple of weeks worth of menues and shopping for those item I can keep my grocery expenses down.
Menus for March 1-18
( Insert a MUSTGO night 'leftovers' about every 2-3 nights)
**Justifcations: I am not on a diet I am simply watching and being aware of the choices I make.
1.Spaghettii w/ homemade meat,mushroom & Tomato sauce
2.Bacon Cabbage & Root Soup ( I got this recipe from our snowshoeing, camping and hiking friend-Sandi) ** only 4 fat trimmed pieces of bacon in the entire pot of soup.
3.Perogies (a friend called me up and said she had made a large batch for a party and had some leftover) Toni is Polish and make these from scratch the old world way! Yummy!
** Sorry no Justification can be made here, just take heart that the last time I had any of these was 4-5 years ago.
4.Smoky Bean Chili ( I'll try to recreate a chili that Wayne brought to our church's Soup and Chili cook off - my mouth is watering as I think about it)
5.Baked Salmon & Asparagus
6.Crock-pot Burritos **lean ground beef fat free refried beans, load up on homemade salsa, lettuce & onions.
7.Homemade Pepperoni Pizza & salad ** this is treat for David that he gets only once every 3 or 4 months.
8.Scallops w/Asparagus & lemon Pasta
9.Homemade Mac n Cheese w/ Green Beans
10.Great Northern Beans & Ham ** I refrigerate them over night and remove any fat that rises to the top of the beans.
11.Chef Salad
