I figured out that there are 41 calories per serving, if 48 little wieners servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)

I love the kick in these little dogs

I really liked these Little Smokies. They are extremely easy to create and I liked the taste. There is just enough spice to give it a little kick. I took these school and many people didn’t want to taste them ,because they do not enjoy spicy food, or it doesn’t agree with their system. The people who did try them really liked them. Another great recipe, Ree. 

        

Random Reflections

         Since I have shared so much about this year’s Christmas movies, I would like to tell you my favorite. The Christmas Secret was my favorite for 2014. This movie starred Bethany Joy Lenz and John Reardon.

         The female lead has to overcome many difficulties. Things are looking bad, and then slowly they begin to turn around. I loved the concept, because the challenges could happen to all of us. I did not guess the complete ending, which always makes me happy. I guess this was my favorite, because my emotions were strong as I watched. Hopefully, this one will return next year.

Helpful Home Hints

         Something that should be done once a year is to check your fire extinguisher. You do own a fire extinguisher, don’t you?  You definitely should!  You need to make sure that the gauge works and the container isn’t dented or damaged in any way. When did you last check yours out?
