1) The opportunity to spend tons of time with my little brother lately. In high school we were super close, but as time went by we kind of grew apart- my moving 3 states away didn't help either. But since he's been out visiting, and Danny's been working, we've spent a lot of great quality time together which I am so incredibly grateful for. That's us cross country skiing last weekend.
2) Strawberries. I've been eating strawberries by the truckload since I gave up chocolate, candy, baked goods, etc... for Lent. They've helped keep me sane during all of my crazy cravings
3) Snow- we've been getting so much this week- pure awesomeness
4) The new Chinese place in town. I've never been a big fan of Chinese food, but my brother wanted some take- out from there the other day. The lady was soooo nice! She totally reminded me of my Grandma, and fed us tons of free apps while we were waiting for our food. I'll be back- Arnold style
5) I tried out a side braid yesterday and as soon as my husband got home- he commented on how much he liked my outfit and hair- score!
What are 5 things you are grateful for today? Who knows- maybe if we see eachother's it will make us doubly happy and even more apt to work out
Danny and I are usually go go go. So this vacation was all about relaxing. We spent a portion of every single day hanging out on the beach... it was perfection
In addition to doing nothing, we also explored around the island a bit. Our hotel was located in Kapaa (pronounced Kaw-Pah-Ah), a city centrally located on the island- making it a great starting point for our adventures.
Shape into bite- sized pieces and place them on a piece of parchment paper. I used a melon scooper to make little balls. But you can shape into bars to resemble a Mounds bar as well. Let your imagination run wild with shapes :)
Melt the chocolate and oil in the microwave.
Once cooled, I cut around the bars with a pizza cutter to give the bars a more rounded (instead of splattered!) shape... which in turn gave me the respectable job of eating the leftover chocolate scraps. It's a hard job but someone's gotta do it.
