Big Holiday Expectations ~

Okay...I am not just making small changes (as stated in my earlier post); I am making BIG changes. My goal is to lose 10 pounds in the next five weeks, by the end of October! There, now I have said it. That is kind of scary, making such a bold statement on my blog. If I don't accomplish it, it certainly won't be for lack of trying. (I want to reach my goal on my weight-loss ticker, at the end of this post, before the holiday season begins ~ kicking off with Thanksgiving Day.)

So, why am I looking at a book full of  

"rib-sticking, taste bud-satisfying comfort food!"

I checked this our from the library before I made my big decision to drop 10 pounds.  I am always drawn to this sort of food; maybe it's the retro girl in me. It is enjoyable to look and and dream about, even if I cannot eat any ~ right now.

Right now, I am gazing over a recipes for...

The Best Fried Chicken in the U.S. of A.

Georgia's Fried Cornmeal Mush ~ Mmm, I love it

or

Granny Glen's Biscuits n' Gravy

And then finish off with some ~

Knock-Your-Sox-Off Carrot Cake

or

Washington State Fair Apple Strudel
