I love this and you can use a variety of types of yogurts/berries.

Frozen Yogurt

An 8-ounce container of yogurt (I uses Dannon Light)

An 8-ounce container of cool whip (Lite or Low-Fat)

A package of berries (no sugar added). 

Mix all together and freeze in a pie plate or cake pan. I mostly use strawberries and strawberry yogurt, and now they even have strawberry cool whip, but not lite or fat-free. 

For other company, I sometimes add in some Splenda to sweeten the berries, or put in a graham cracker crust. 

You could also make sugar free chocolate pudding, and mix in cool whip.  Stir together and put in parfait cups with a shot of Reddi Whip on top.  This is always a fun treat. 

Sorry it is late in coming but, hopefully, you can use in the future as well.

 I brown 1 lb hamburger with a couple of tablespoons of green pepper and onion. Then add 3/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and 3 drops of liquid smoke. Simmer covered for about 20 minutes on low. You can add a little water if it gets too thick. If you don't like it to be sweet, cut down on the brown sugar. Sometimes I use left over roast instead of the hamburger.

I forget the man's name right off the top of my head, but he has a book about this; ironically enough you can "charge it on your card" to purchase!  So, kind of funny there!  I checked out the book at the library instead, figured out what to do, and still have not gotten around to it.  I need to get it all down on paper, and I've asked for $200.00 a month extra from hubs for what he gives me towards bills (he pays our entire mortgage) and I tend to to take care of the rest.  However, he does put his own gas in the car and treats us for different odds and ends, fast food, movie night, day at the beach, you get the picture... 

The only problem I see with this is the way I get paid.  I am an IC.  I only have one online company that truly pays me on time.  My other accounts I bill every other week but they don't always pay right away (could be a week lag sometimes) and another I only get once a month.  Also, the work fluctuates.  So, I may make $1.400.00 a month with one account but if the docs go on vacation, that can bring it down to say $600.00 a month. 

So while your plan, I agree, is wonderful and yes it does work, and yes I'm going to give it a try, doesn't always pan out "budget wise" income wise for me personally being an IC and having fluctuating work.  I might add the online company I range anywhere from 14,000 to 20,000 lines a month given the work is there, I work from a pool; no line quotas, and no set schedule.  So, I need to be on my toes to grab the work.  I do have a lot of accounts to choose from, but when I go out twice a week to pick-up work, I am away from the computer, hence losing some of those jobs I could have grabbed.  I check all day long until 11 p.m. to make sure I take all that I can. 

Sorry this is so long, but I think that's where I am so "floundering" on this "budget" thing where I am never sure if I'll have "my end of the budget" every month.  I don't have a set income, but I would not trade this profession for anything; been doing it 20 years, and love it and love being at home with the kids (school age), but still...

Looking for a good meatless stuffing recipe.  Could possibly use sausage in it, but would prefer a meatless one.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Not only to your husband, but also to your daughter for being able to express those feelings to him, and to you for having raised such a loving daughter.

I'm tearing up myself here....

I was wondering what type of a recipe you had for an ice cream treat  instead, you described a nice scene with Cupid.  I lost mine a couple years ago and was thinking about welcoming a new one to the house.  You may have actually convinced me to do it.  Our 4-legged friends are such stress relievers and, boy, could I use one now.
