* goodbye, Christmas, my most favoritest of holidays...

* Five Guys Burgers and Fries...YUM!

moo...

I forgot to share with everyone the most unusual thing we have ever gotten for Christmas. Are you ready?

A cow. A REAL cow.

But- hold on- only PART of a REAL cow.

When we opened the paperwork, I thought, "Wow, we get free milk for life!" Then I was told it was not a good idea to name the cow. OOOhhh. Oops.

We will receive FIFTY POUNDS of beef, courtesy of our cow, in February. And although our cow will be no more, there will be more...in our deep freezer. How cool is that?!

So although I won't have milk for life, we will have steak on the grill!

Anyone have any good recipes?

Last night I made a new family favorite- Lowcountry Salsa!

Homemade salsa is so fresh, and I love knowing that it's fat free. You can eat as much as you want! So here's the recipe...happy new year.

3 cans of Rotel, Mexican variety (with lime and cilantro)- drain slighty
1 can of black beans, rinsed
1 can of Mexicorn, drained
1 cucumber, minus the seeds, chopped

Mix and chill. Yum!
