    One Month With Weight Watchers, Down 10lbs

    Its officially been one month with Weight Watchers. I am down 10lbs and feeling so proud and excited about the future with this program. I started Weight Watchers at the beginning of May; the first Monday of the month (bc who starts something new on a weekend? haha). Weight Watchers keeps me so accountable and that is why it works so well for me. The points and logging and the free points is huge for me. Instead of spending points for something like chips, Im more likely to reach for carrots or some fruit. Weight Watchers Plans I am on the Blue Plan, which has a moderate list of free…

    Stir At The Simple Brew Now Open

    Living in small towns has a lot of benefits. Something we wouldnt change or give up for even the best burger. Though we once thought about moving to this little town in New Mexico bc they had the best BBQ we had ever tasted! (He was originally from Texas.) Anyway, all these benefits of small town living does come with a cost. For the privacy, the space, the friendly neighbors…you give up great social atmospheric establishments. But ya’ll….Harrah, OK got itself its very own speakeasy bar. Stir at The Simple Brew is located on Harrah/Newalla Rd, just north of Reno. The owners Chad & Christy have promised us and delivered…

    OKC’s Sunset Patio Bar

    OKC’s newest hotspot is Sunset Patio Bar located in Midtown. The place has such a great vibe from the pup friendly patio to the lounge stadium area and arcade games.

    Gluten Free Christmas Tree Cakes

    Is it even Christmas if you aren’t eating a Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes? For our family, that would be a hard no, except this year we all went gluten free. This definitely put a damper on my Holiday Spirit! I decided that making gluten free Chrismas tree cakes would be my next project to tackle. I scoured the web for an easy and delicious white cake recipe and stumbled upon this one from Sugar Spun Run. To begin, with any cake recipe that you convert to gluten free; texture changes. Consitstency is different. I followed her recipe with my only changes being the flour. My cake batter was very…
