A Day for Women Seminar



I recently attended a seminar called A Day for Women. It was a great seminar for connecting and networking but not for sales. I still need to find the right shows to present my products in. I need more exposure but not sure where yet. I'm still looking and open for ideas. I could be in lots of shows but I don't want to waste time if it doesn't bring in sales. I'm open for suggestions.

Here is my booth, it was smaller than we expected. So next time need to know more information before attending.

Today I found out that my rose basket apron was featured on another blog. Whoo Hoo!
The blog theme today was roses in the Friday Fines.

Hamburger Pie- ww 5pt recipe




Ingredients:
1 Cup low-fat baking mix + 2 Tbsp
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1 lb ground extra-lean beef (7%fat or less)
1 finely chopped onion
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 minced garlic clove
1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute (or 4 egg whites)
1/2 cup low fat shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 9 inch pie plate with nonstick spray.
To make crust: Mix first 2 ingredients in medium bowl until soft dough forms. Transfer to lightly floured surface and knead 5 times. Roll out dough to 6 inch round and ease into pie plate, pressing evenly against bottom and side of plate.

Spray large skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, Worcestershire sauce and garlic. Cook until browned. Stir in 2 Tbsp low-fat baking mix. Remove skillet from heat and let cool.

Meanwhile, mix fat-free egg substitute, cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese in small bowl. Spoon beef mixture evenly over crust; top evenly with cheese mixture. Bake until filling is set and crust is golden, 25-30 mins. Let cool 10 minutes. Makes 6 servings.
NI per serving: 234calories/7g fat/1g fiber Points value 5


This is very good, it could use some veggies and more seasoning though. I put ketsup on my serving and it gave it more flavor. Others have suggested taco seasoning and peas and carrots. It's a great basic recipe just adjust as needed but don't forget to recalculate the points for added ingredients. :)
Recipe found in the current Weight Watcher's magazine

Papa Goes to the Father-Daughter Dance



Saturday was the annual Father-Daughter dance in Lawton, OK. My granddaughter LaRyn didn't have a date because her daddy was away at a school so she asked her Papa to take her to the dance. Of course he said yes.

Now when our girls where little there was no event called the Father-Daughter dance. So my girls missed out and so did my husband. Lasting memories were made as this was papa's only chance to take a granddaughter to a dance.

He did get the opportunity to dance with his daughters at their weddings, but it would have been fun to take them to a dance when they were little too.


Cute pose of LaRyn and Papa before the dance.

Papa doing the limbo. He was such a good sport to participate because he doesn't like to dance in the first place but to do the Limbo and then fall was too funny.
