Getting Back on Track

No more procrastinating. I have to get back on track and get out of this funky mood I've been in for four months. I've been really busy and yet I feel like I haven't done anything constructive. You ever get in one of those moods where you are just mad or dislike everything? Food doesn't taste good, clothes don't feel good, bad hair days, bad face days, ya just want to crawl under and rock and sleep all day days. My two forms of entertainment lately have either been eating or sleeping. I'm one of those "emotional eaters". I get my feelings hurt....I eat. I get upset.....I eat. Depressed......eat. A celebration or a happy occassion......We EAT!!! Ugh!!! I spent the first five months of this year sweating and working my butt off and watching what I eat to loose 15 pounds. It only took two and a half to gain it all back!!! It's September 1st and I am making a vow that starting tomorrow I am going to get back on track and stay on track through the end of the year. Back to exercising, back to working out, back to eating healthy!!!! No more procrastinating! No more excuses! (although I did have some pretty good ones) Cracked my elbow, chipped my thumb, had my heart broken, and broke my toe. All of which were excuses to pig out or not work out.

Fortunately, most of those have healed and life will go on. I just need to stay focused and make healthy choices for myself, physically and emotionally. Now, check out this new cake recipe!!! Ha Ha!

Fire Crackers

1 box multi grain saltine crackers
1 1/2 cups oil
2 packages of dry Ranch dressing mix
3 tbsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil

Using two large gallon size storage bags, place two sleeves of saltine crackers into each bag.  Mix all seasoning ingredients together and divide evenly.  Pour seasoning mix with oil into each bag and seal.  Toss gently to coat the crackers.  Let set but toss about every 15 minutes until oil is absorbed and all crackers have been seasoned.  Transfer all the crackers in to a fresh bag and keep sealed air tight.

These are sooooooo good!  I love seasoned crackers and these babies have a kick to em too!  They are good with cheese or just by themselves.  A lot of ingredients but easy to make and it seems that they get hotter the next day.  I did spread them out on a cookie sheet lined with paper towel in a warm oven for about 5-10 minutes just to help absorb the oil and dry them out faster so I could start eating them sooner!!  Yum!
