I figured out that there are
87 calories per serving, if 16 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary
depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
These were
interesting to me. I have to say
that using them to scoop out bites of ice cream made them even better. I have now had them with many types of
ice cream and the cinnamon really adds a special flavor to this dessert
addition. They are crunchy and
just plain old fun! Nicole and
Brandy had some good suggestions.
Today’s
critics:
Brandy: Cinnamon triangles and ice cream -
Good, different, I like them though, would be fun for a party.
The
Serpicos: They were okay to dip in
the ice cream but they didn’t do anything else for us. I probably would not make them again. Not that they were bad, but they
weren’t exceptional. Suggestion: They would look good served as a
garnish for ice cream or just smashing them up and adding a crunch to a bowl of
ice cream.
Random Reflections
Today
I must comment on how people share their creativity while driving down the
highway. I love to read all of the
vanity license plates on the road. Some are funny and some identify the
driver(s) such as initials. People are amazing with how they can create a plate
that has inventive spelling but is somehow easy to figure out. In one trip to
school I read about four great license plates – too bad I left my notebook at
home or I would have jotted some of them down.
I
also love magnetic stickers. These have taken the place of the old horrible
bumper stickers. Bumper stickers were a killer on a car’s paint job but the
magnets are wonderful. They are
easy to get on as well as off. These stickers are not as creative but help
everyone know things, like your political party, religion, and organizations
that you are affiliated with in life.
I am guilty of having these little gems. I strongly support the Humane
Society of the United States and proudly display paw prints and the “I love
animals” ribbons.
What
statement does you plate or sticker say about you? Join the club and get a magnet today!
Helpful Home Hints
Cleaning
the house can be a real chore but I have two proven methods to make it less
stressful and actually a fun endeavor.
My
first method is to watch a TV show and jump up and clean in the
commercials. Now this is a little
unorthodox. During commercial one,
I can get both the dining and living rooms dusted. The next commercial I can
usually get the dining room vacuumed (fighting Sage the entire time as the
vacuum cleaner is her arch enemy!) The next commercial is vacuuming the living
room and then putting everything back that I have moved around, and so on and
so forth. I get to watch the
evening shows I love AND have a clean house when they are over. It may sound nutty but then I have NO
GUILT for relaxing and watching the tube.
Think about trying it – what do you really have to lose…except a little
dust!
The
other cleaning method involves classical music. For some reason, cleaning to
the beat and rhythm of this music is silly and fun. Dusting is my fav as you can’t help but smile at Beethoven’s
Fifth as you swipe that dust off the table. It’s my second choice because I use
this method when there isn’t a blasted thing to watch on television. So if you
are bored and need a change or if you just want to free up a weekend, try a
little unorthodox cleaning method.
