Good morning all!

Hope you have good plans for the weekend- and decent weather to do it in!

We've just come off of an ice storm...very tricky underfoot, but the roads not too bad. A neighbor invited a few of us in for a mini wine tasting last night. Very nice...the wine, just OK.

She had been sent this as a wine of the month kind of thing, and I knew someone had probably paid way too much for the wine. But, she was a gracious hostess, and she was happy, so I wasn't about to complain about wine, good people and snacks!

I'm making the famous "heroin" wings for tomorrow night. I've never made them, so I'm anxious to do it!

It'll just be DH and me, so it'll be rather low-key.

Much to do...so I'll see you later!

Have a great day!

 Hello Margaret, I haven't tried the chicken wings since I am not much on Chicken.

Wine tasting is more in my line, LOL

We are still digging out from all the snow, You be careful on that ice.

Well I am taking it easy today so I might get a book to read and a cuppa tea.

Hugs to all. Ann

Just checking in... Sunny, Bright blue sky here...

but I've heard the groundhog saw his shadow... so it will be Easter before we have spring.  Mind you, up here, we usually don't have spring till well after Easter even if that groundhog doesn't see his shadow.  LOL  But that's Alberta.

Normal Saturday chores happening here...  and leftovers for supper.  Made meatloaf for supper last night and it was so good.  Looking forward to having some more of that today.

Have a great day everyone.  SYAL

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Getting ready for the big game tomorrow!  I made this recipe during the holidays....and thought how it's perfect for the Super Bowl.  I am sharing it and hope you ladies like it.

Have a great weekend!

Spicy Nut Mix Serves: 20 Details: An outrageous blend of nuts, soybeans, and spices makes a supercharged snack that provides an energy boost. Don't be put off by the number of ingredients — the mix takes just 5 minutes to put together. We recommend packing small amounts of the cooled mixture into resealable bags for quick grab-and-go snacks. Tip: Roasted edamame is available at supermarkets and specialty stores. If you can't find it, just add more of any other nut to make 5 cups. Ingredients: 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons ground ginger 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 2 large egg whites 1 cup unsalted soy nuts 1 cup roasted edamame 1 cup pecan pieces 1 cup walnut pieces 1 cup raw almonds 1/4 cup granular sugar substitute

Hi, all...

Ann..good to see you...please take it easy and feel better!

Hauke...huummm...still too cold for me! Send me some meatloaf when you get a chance!

 Hi, beeje...and welcome! Here's the recipe- it's called Heroin because it's so addictive...lousy name, but apparently a great recipe!

Hi.

Well, if it's even only half as good as everyone says, it'll be wonderful! 

I think I'd prefer chicken strips done the same way, but we're trying this first!

Have a good evening,all!
