As a mother of 3 children like most my waist line is not what it use to be. I say time and time again that I am going to do it, today is the day, I'm tired of being overweight, yet I never do anything to change. Well as I get older I also get heavier and well let's face it I'm not getting any younger or any skinner without some try. This weekend I was blessed with an amazing opportunity that most people will never get. I was able to arrange a work out session and diet help from Brandon carter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers :O) So as I journey towards losing the 20 pounds I have left over from baby number 3, who mind you is 4 years old by now, I think about the words of Thomas Edison who said "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." I hope everyone has an amazing day, time to grab my Mp3 player and get on the road to a healthier life.
Most hard candies call for corn syrup, but since I was out and I have 3 children home I decided to experiment and make something fun! Here is what you need:
2 Cups of Sugar
2 Cups of Water
1 Package Sugar Free Jello
A candy Thermometer
Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I like to dust mine …
