A Day in the Life

Goal # 70 Finished-Watch Jimmer Play in the NBA

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Tue, 14 May 2013 20:09:00 +0000

So, I recently moved to Utah and yes I recognize that I haven't posted in a LONG time and no this isn't going to be the post where I catch you up on what is going on with my life but this is an update on my goals.

On February 4, 2013 the Sacramento Kings came to town and you know what that means...

Okay, maybe you don't. Jimmer Fredette was drafted by the Sacramento Kings so the timing couldn't have been better. I went onto StubHub and scored these sweet seats for only $17. They wouldn't let me take pictures inside the arena so sadly I only have the picture from the program.

But trust me, I had a ton of fun!!

Goal Number 98-Complete!!! We Finally Had Snow!

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:04:00 +0000

So technically I finished this goal 2 months ago but I have had a hard time keeping up with my blog these days. Goal Number 98 was to go snow sledding. It's not that I haven't done this before but it had been a long time and it seemed like a good way to help bring a little more fun into my life. Well thanks to my lovely friend Sheral I was able to mark this goal off my life.

On February 4, 2012 Sheral and I headed to Garden Valley bright and early for a fun day in the mountains of Idaho. We spent 2 hours flying down some awesome sledding trails. I had sooo much fun, even when I was hurtling down the mountain off said trails!

After sledding we continued on to McCall, Idaho for the annual Winter Carnival. So much fun was had. I ended up deleting (on accident) most of the pictures I took but the two posted remained. These are of Sheral and I playing on frozen over Payette Lake in McCall.

Triple Chocolate Pound Cake

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sour cream OR 3 to 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 Tbsp. half and half
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 to 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. In large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sour cream (or cream cheese). Add sugar and blend well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one. Add half and half, blending well; stir in cocoa powder and mix well. Add the flour and blend well; then fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Put batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake at 325 degrees for 70-80 minutes, or until toothpicks inserted in center comes out clean or almost clean. Cool in pan for about 10-15 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely.

RICH CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tbsp. half & half
1/2-1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips for garnish

Cream the softened butter and powdered sugar. Then add in the cocoa powder and blend well. Add 1 Tbsp. half & half and mix well (if you prefer a thinner consistency, just add more half & half). When cake is completely cool, frost cake with a nice thick layer of frosting and then garnish by sprinkling the chocolate chips down the center of the cake.

**I used milk instead of half & half and garnished with powdered sugar instead. This is a SUPER RICH cake and honestly not the best I have ever eaten. My mother said it tasted a bit like a candy bar and my dad said I should never make it again (to be fair he doesn't really like chocolate). I will simply say, if you choose to make this cake make sure you have plenty of milk to drink with it.

2012 Resolutions

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 02:45:00 +0000

2012 is the year of Cindy! This year I actually spent some time making resolutions that I intend to keep. It is all about creating the best life possible.

1. Have a date for New Year's Eve 2012.

2. Stop drinking soda.

3. Find JOY and PEACE in my home and occupation.

4. Be STRONG and Healthy in body and mind.

5. Learn to stand up for myself.

I read a quote today by William Jame, American psychologist and philosopher, that I am going to keep in my mind over the coming year. "The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives."

And by the ever poetic Selena Gomez, "You've got every right to a beautiful life."

AMEN!

This recipe may sound a little strange but I promise you it is delicious!!!!!!! My sister and I had a bake-a-thon before Christmas and I will be posting several of the recipes that we tried. This was so delicious and super easy!! This recipe is courtesy of a super fun blog I found called A Southern Grace. Check it out!!

TERRIBLY TERRIFIC TOFFEE

1 cup unsalted butter (no margarine allowed)

1 cup brown sugar

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

40 saltine crackers

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Lay a flat layer of crackers out on the foil. Melt the sugar and butter until a boil is reached. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes or until mixture is thickened and sugar is completely dissolved. Pour this mixture over the crackers and spread to coat evenly. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the toffee becomes bubbly. After removing the pan from the oven, let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips, let them soften and melt, and then spread them into a even layer. At this point you can add nuts, crackers crumbs or anything else your heart may desire. Let cool and if desired refrigerate until hardened. Break into pieces the size of your choice. ENJOY!!!!

Goal 38 FINISHED!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:13:00 +0000

Okay everyone, I am pleased to report that I have finished one of my goals and this one is a huge one. I have been working on it since I first made my list of goals. I MADE A QUILT!! I made this quilt mostly by myself with a little help from my mother . I got the inspiration from a this blog and while it took my MUCH longer than it did her I FINISHED. Somewhere along the way I discovered that I enjoy creating things and have completed several other sewing projects. My family now accepts me as a crafty woman and thanks to my brother Jens' family I have a brand new sewing machine. Check out the pictures of my quilt and feel free to tell me how awesome it is.

Not sure when I became the crafty, sewing girl but I recently was invited to a baby shower and my first thought was "I should make a quilt!" Well I made a quilt. In just 3 short evenings I made the most adorable (in my opinion) rag quilt. Go me!!

Breakfast Disaster!

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:23:00 +0000

It has been a little while since I last posted and things in my life have been semi-chaotic and of course my blog is the first thing to go. This morning I decided to make breakfast and felt really good about that decision. A yummy hot breakfast burrito sounded really great on this cold fall morning. Well, turns out I need to slow down and start enjoying my life because my attempt at breakfast was a DISASTER!!! The only thing I could do was take a picture and throw it away. SAD!!

I like a little pepper on my eggs but not quite that much!! Maybe I will try again tomorrow. (I am thinking I will probably be sticking with my cold cereal!)

My take away lesson for the day is that I need to slow down and enjoy life. I will probably need to keep reminding myself.

Goal Number 37-New Recipe #10

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 22:53:00 +0000

Something happened to me that NEVER happens. I got a package in the mail!! Super exciting!! Okay, I am sensing that you might not be as excited as I am but give me a minute to explain. The package was from my good friend Paul and among other things it contained some fantastic recipe books that belonged to his mother.

Today's recipe come from the HERSEY'S CHOCOLATE MEMORIES THROUGH THE YEARS COOKBOOK circa 1982. According to this book this chocolate chip cookie recipe was developed somewhere between 1910-1920. I learned so much more about Milton and Catherine Hershey in this book but I wont bore you with details. So, without further ado...

HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 1/4 cups unsifted all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

1 cup chopped nuts

Cream butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs and vanilla in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet onto wire rack. Cool completely.

**Note, I did not add nuts to mine but only because I didn't have any. This recipe is definitely going to be my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe. It is delicious!!!

Now, just as I was starting these cookies my darling sister Annie called and invited me to dinner. I volunteered to bring dessert so I fancied up the cookies a bit and made some yummy looking ice cream sandwiches by sandwiching some vanilla ice cream between two cookies. I am a freaking genius!!!

Thank you Paul for sharing a bit of your mom with me and thank you Carol for raising a fantastic man who is a tremendous friend.

The List

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:51:00 +0000

How many of us have written a list of all the qualities that we want in a man??? I know I have certainly written my fair share (several times as a Young Womens activity.) It occurred to me several years ago that maybe that practise wasn't entirely healthy. I mean, as we mature we gain a wider perspective of who and what will make us happy. I, for one, do not want to narrow the field of potential mates so much that no one will fit the bill. Now I am not being completely ridiculous here and saying that we shouldn't have standards but merely suggesting that maybe those standards should be more about what would compliment us and less about the man. Does that make sense????

Anways, as I was playing around on http://www.pintrest.com/ today (if you haven't checked it out yet you should but be warned it's majorly addictive!!) I found the following list that I can fully support. This is the man I am looking for...If you can't handle it you had best just move on because this list pretty much embodies me and all my dorkiness! :)

Crazy Crafting Lady!!

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 01:59:00 +0000

So, I have met someone recently who thinks it's his sole job to teach me patience. Thank you very much Andrew! :) Because of these lessons I have sought a lot of distractions and I have turned into the Crazy Crafting Lady. Right now I am in the middle of hand quilting a cute quilt but tonight I finished a super rad light fixture for my living room.

This light fixture was inspired by one I saw at IKEA but I convinced myself that I could make it for cheaper. The fixture itself turned out a little diffferently than the one at IKEA but I absoutely LOVE the end result.

So, 1 16" paper lantern, 600 coffee filters, 30 hot glue sticks, 10 hours and 1 blister later this is the end result.

The light hasn't found it's permanent home yet because I have to put some anchors in my ceiling but I am so happy with how it turned out. Go me!!!

Progress-Goal Number 5

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 23:53:00 +0000

Goal Number 5 is to visit 5 MLB Parks so when the opportunity to visit Toronto presented itself last week I jumped at the chance. Mindy, being the kind friend that she is, induldged me in attending a game. We saw the Jays play the Orioles. Not exactly the best teams in the AL East but we had so much fun! Side Note: Canadians are super nice!!

Even if there was nobody at the game the skyline was impressive!

Great seats!! First row of the 2nd deck. Home run side of the foul pole. 1st Base side!

Cinco de Mayo Celebration-New Recipes

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Fri, 06 May 2011 01:06:00 +0000

I love Mexican food and what better opportunity than Cinco de Mayo to try out some new recipes. I made some chicken tacos and actual FRIED ice cream. The both turned out super yummy. I would definitely recommend both recipes.

Sheryl Crow's Chicken Taco's
(Recipe courtesy of People Magazine)

1 1/2 c. chicken stock

1 1/2 c. mild salsa
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Flour tortillas
Shredded Cheddar
2 c. shredded lettuce

In a sauce pan, combine the chicken stock and the salsa. Bring to a boil. Add the chicken, cover and simmer on low heat for 1 1/2 hrs. Remove chicken from pan, reserving some liquid, shred chicken with two forks. Pour reserved liquid over chicken to keep it moist (you don’t need much because it’s very moist already). Create your tacos!

**I should note that I like more "stuff" on my tacos so I also used some black beans, corn, rice, tomatoes and olives but the basic concept of cooking the chicken in the salsa and chicken stock really was delicious. YUMMY!!

Fried Ice Cream
(Recipe courtesy of allrecipes.com)

1 quart vanilla ice cream

3 cups crushed cornflakes cereal
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 egg whites
2 quarts oil for frying

1.Scoop ice cream into 8 - 1/2 cup sized balls. Place on baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

2.In a shallow dish, combine cornflakes and cinnamon. In another dish, beat egg whites until foamy. Roll ice cream balls in egg whites, then in cornflakes, covering ice cream completely. Repeat if necessary. Freeze again until firm, 3 hours.

3.In deep fryer or large, heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

4.Using a basket or slotted spoon, fry ice cream balls 1 or 2 at a time, for 10 to 15 seconds, until golden. Drain quickly on paper towels and serve immediately.

Quilt-Progress Finally Being Made

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Tue, 03 May 2011 00:25:00 +0000

I have actually made some progress on my quilt in the last couple of days. Go me!! There are 9 total squares of the quilt each made up of 4 pieced blocks. Ugh! I am a glutton for punishment. :) I finally got 1 set of the 4 blocks pieced. Woohoo!! I am really happy with how it is turning out. I am encouraged to keep going.

Goal Number 93 Finished!!

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Sun, 01 May 2011 07:44:00 +0000

It's true, I read right through my 24 hour mark. To be honest I took several breaks over the course of the last day or so but I am pretty happy with what I got read. Below I have listed the things read in the second 12+ hours.

Magazines
People-114 pages
Better Homes & Gardens-228 pages
Marie Claire-254 pages

Book
Gone With a Handsomer Man by Michael Lee West-342 pages

I really enjoyed this silly book. It was full of Southern charm and a super easy read. It is an extremely predicated murder mystery with just enough romance and humor to keep the pages turning. I am not sure if it's because I am extremely tired but I have no idea why there was a need for the last paragraph. It makes absolutely no sense to me. If any of you ever read this book maybe you can explain it to me.

***Disclaimer-I am soooo tired right now so if parts of this post to not make sense please forgive me!!!

Hour Number 12 Update

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:18:00 +0000

Okay, so we are actually at hour 12.5 and I must admit to taking about a 3 hour nap. That being said I just finished my first book and have read approximately 1/2 of this week's People magazine.

The book I read is Commencement by J. Courtney Sullivan. It is about 4 Smith alum's who are finding out that life is always what we planned. I really enjoyed this book by first time novelist Sullivan. Check out her website and see if this is a book you would be interested in. I will admit tha I was a little scared that I might find the book a little too feminist but I appreciate that the author seems to understand that all of us see womanhood differently.

**note-Commencement is 320 pages

noreply@blogger.com (GramesGirl) — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 04:10:00 +0000

Beginning at 10:30pm I will begin my 24 hours of reading. I will be taking a couple of breaks and maybe a catnap or two but for the most part the next 24 hours I will be getting my reading on. I plan on updating you at hour 12 and then again when I am finished. Good times! I plan on giving you a quick review on the book(s) read. This is going to be a great weekend!!

1 cup strawberries diced into quarter-inch pieces
1 squeeze of lemon juice
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 tsp. powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 24 cup mini muffin tin with paper baking cups.

2. Put diced strawberries into a bowl, spritz lemon juice on them and stir gently to combine.

3. In a medium-size bowl, stir together flour, sugar, and baking powder.

4. In a small bowl, beat together oil, sour cream, vanilla and egg. Pour mixture over dry ingredients, stirring to combine with a wooden spoon. Fold in strawberries.

5. Divide batter evenly among the paper cups in the mini-muffin tin. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
