OMG we baked a whole bunch for Christmas and gave them out but we still had a good amount left.  Then when they were done I wanted more. I know I am bad! 

These are butter cookies made from scratch with strawberry preserve in the middle (sandwich) dipped in semi sweet chocolate and some sprinkles added on the chocolate to die for!  lol

Ok so in the crock pot.....

Add 2 pieces beef neck bones
Take one or two pieces of chuck steak cut up in cubes
1 pound of dried small navy beans
dice up 1 whole onion
dice up 1/2 of green pepper
dice 1 celery stalk
2 carrots
add galic powder
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 tablespoon of Adobo (spanish seasoning)
add water until it is full to the top and cook on high for like 4 hours and medium for another hour or 2
1 envelope of Sazon the one that says with achoite (spanish seasoning) you can get these in food lion, weis, walmart

I didn't get the recipe anywhere I just make it my way.

Or you can come over here and I will make it for you. lol

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

Maybe we should start a local soup swap!? I enjoy soup.. twice! I get tired of it easily but I enjoy making it. Freezing it is not really an option. I wind up throwing it out a year later.

It is DELISH and full of protein.  The beef is so tender it melts in your mouth!
Come on over with Tia and anyone that wants to visit and I will make it.

That's it!!!!!! I am going to make some bean soup this week. I make mine with ham and great northern beans. I love it but usually make it when I have already made a ham. I will just buy a small one to cook for now.

OK...someone is still sneaking in the chocolate chip cookies to our office kitchen. I really do wish they would stop. I am trying to stay in my office as much as possible but I have to walk passed it once in awhile. I am sooooo weak!!!!!

B- protein shake with peanut butter and I add oatmeal for my grain.

L- I have brought with me chicken breast to cook and a small red skin potato to eat with skin on

D- I have a boneless chuck roast in the crockpot. I will probably have mashed redskin potatoes 
     and brocolli

S- Well, since I have already had 3 cookies here at work I probably won't be needing the healthy
     snack I brought. If I do, it is Dannon lo carb vanilla yogurt, apple chunks and walnuts all mixed
      together......it is so yummy.

Gail -

Clearly, the FDA needs to be called in on this one - chocolate chip cookies are clearly illegal substances!!!!  LOL!!!!!!

Okay, so you had 3 - pre-op, wouldn't it have been 13???  I know that's of little consolation, but you HAVE made great strides, so don't let 3 derail you.

Waaah!!  I LOVE chuck roast, but sadly, it doesn't always love me!!!!

Tia- you are so right. I am calling them right now.

I am trying to not be so hard on myself about it though.
