My Grandma's Ham Tomato and Shells

This is comfort food at it's best for me, my grandmama used to make this whenever we had ham!!

Ham, Tomato and Shells

2 cups cooked ham
1 13.25 oz box pasta shells
2 cans stewed tomatoes
I also kept the ham bone from a ham we had cooked (this is how grandmama did it)
Place tomatoes, ham and ham bone in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and add pasta shells, cooking until done. Simple, easy, and oh so yummy! This brings back a lot of memories that just make me :)

DIY Marbled Ornaments

Items needed:
Clear glass ornaments
Crayons
Hair Dryer
A glove(it gets hot!)

Break the crayons of your color choice into small pieces...drop in bulb, heat with hair dryer and swirl until completely coated. Simple, cute!!!

I tried the cheaper crayons, but I found crayola melts the best.

DIY Acrylic Paint Ornaments


What you need:
clear ornaments
acrylic paint

Remove top of ornament
Holding ornament at an angle, squeeze acrylic paint into ornament until you see a stripe down the side to the bottom.
Turn ornament 45 degrees and repeat.
Do the same with other colors you may want to add, get creative but most of all have fun!
Fill in any blank spots on the ornament by tipping it so that the accumulated paint at the bottom fills in the gaps.
Place ornament upside down to dry for 24 hours before replacing ornament hanger, an empty egg carton or smaller styrofoam cup works well for this.
I like the crayon ones better but we loved these as well!!

10 ounces of Andes Peppermint Baking Chips 
1 cup powdered sugar
6 large peppermint candy canes, crushed
Instructions
Melt the Andes Peppermint Baking Chips in the microwave in a large glass bowl in 20-30 second intervals on half power, stirring between each interval until full melted.
Pour the Chex Cereal into the bowl and stir and fold the cereal and melted baking chips until fully coated.
In a large zip top baggie, pour in the powdered sugar and the crushed candy canes.
Pour in the coated chex cereal.
Seal the baggie and shake vigorously until all the cereal is coated with the sugar and candy canes.
It can keep up to 2 weeks in a sealed container at room temperature!




My update

Yes, it's me!!

The picture on the left is me at my heaviest weight, the middle one is when I started Skinny Fiber and the one on the right was today!! I've always been an emotional eater, and a still birth, miscarriage and a failed marriage took it's toll. I think seeing this picture is what really motivated me to get my behind in gear and make changes. With a lower calorie lifestyle and exercise I began to lose the weight, until I hit the dreaded plateau. Even on a 1200 calorie a day diet with exercise I wasn't dropping the weight, I heard about Skinny Fiber and decided to give it a try, and I am so glad I did I broke the plateau and hit my big goal of 100 lbs lost. I think I became a bit obsessed with the scale lol so I no longer weigh, we will have to wait til the next time I go to the doctor to find that our, but at last count it was 115 lbs total, 50 of that on skinny fiber! It's one of the best decisions I have ever made as far as my journey goes. I still have a bit more I want to lose, but I am so proud of how far I have come!!
