Sloanie, I use fresh fruit in the cherry berry jam, since I can buy all the fresh fruits right now. I'm sure you could use the frozen cherries as long as they are unsweetened. I'm sure once I can't buy them anymore, I will be trying it with frozen.
For the chicken, we actually didn't make it tonight, we are now going to make it tomorrow night. But we do cook it with the skin on it, and I remove it before I eat it.
I actually ground my own chicken tonight, as the stuff you buy in the store has about 12 grams of fat in it. I figured if I ground pure boneless skinless chicken breasts, and ground them up myself, it wouldn't have so much fat in it. So I took a couple pounds of chicken breasts and ground them up to make the buffalo chicken burgers tonight. I think I added a bit too much hot sauce as they were really spicy, although really good. I have leftovers so next time I eat them I will definitely have some celery sticks to go with them.
Barb, I live in Michigan but Oscodo is farther north and on the opposite side of the state from where I live. I live near Grand Rapids.
I feel like I ate bad this weekend. I didn't get all my fruits/veggies in and I ate fritos and cheetos
. I feel bloated and the scale isn't looking very nice either. Plus it's close to my TOM.
Oh yea, we are getting a hot tub, for free, well kinda!! My dbf knows someone that doesn't want theirs anymore, and wants a couple dead(small) trees cut down, plus wants their deck back(where the hot tub was). So all he has to do is cut down the trees and fix the area where the hot tub was and we can have it! He said it's a really nice one with a cover and everything. So he will do all the wiring and run all the pipes underground(he's really handy and knows how to do all that). It will be great in the winter time!
