RODAN + FIELDS

I hate to admit but I am almostt 40 years old. Yes 40 in three years yikes.
I have been searching for some type of Anti-aging kit for a while now. In comes the one and only Tara Rocha. She is one of the sweetest persons I know she is Mya's tutor. She is a consultant for Rodan + Fields and she gave me a kit to try. I was sooo excited. I tried it last night and I must say I love the way it feels and the smell is amazing. As I go on I will be taking pictures and writing more reviews on this amazing product. Feel free to contact Tara for some of this goodness.

Grandma Lyda's Meatballs

Grandma Lyda's Meatloaf Meatballs


Here is the recipe for the meatballs I made today. It has become my family's favorite meal. It is super easy and yummy!
All credit to Nina on According to Nina blog. She is the sweetest mama and sooo creative with all she does. Here it is~~~~

1 large can evaporated milk
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cups chopped onions
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
2 tsp salt
3 lb ground beef
2 eggs
1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 tsp chili powder

Sauce
2 cups of ketchup
2 cups unpacked brown sugar
1/2 cup of onion
1/2 tsp garlic salt
*I add a little chili powder too

Combine first 10 ingredients in a large mixing bowl; mix well. Shape into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place in roasting pan or baking dish. Combine ketchup and remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to boil, and pour or spoon over meatballs. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Yield 2 dozen.

It's sure to be a family favorite! We serve ours with mashed Yukon gold potatoes and a mix of peas and carrots but as you can see in the picture of above we had corn on the cob as well.

i found this today and thought I would share.....

Blue cheese stuffed dates wrapped in BACON!! I said BACON!!

Ya'll I had this appetizer at my friend's shower on Friday night. It was soooo yummy. Sweet Hope shared her recipe with me and I thought I would share with you all.
ENJOY!!!!!
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C
  2. Slice dates in half, and open them up. Pinch off pieces of blue cheese, and place them into the center of the dates. Close the halves of the dates, and wrap a half-slice of bacon around the outside. Secure each one with a toothpick. Arrange in a baking dish or on a baking sheet with sides to catch any grease.
  3. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bacon is crisp. Turn dates over after the first 20 minutes for even cooking
