Today is the first full day of camping. It started with pancakes, bacon and oranges. Not the best start to a day that is for sure! I kept to a nice snack of grapes for my morning snack which was really yummy :O) I wish they weren't so costly! That is one of the main reasons I planted a grape vine this year so my family could eat grapes all summer long. Lunch I kept to a smoothie, normally today would have been an all smoothie day but since I was such a bad girl on the 4th and knew I would be out of town I did that on day 5. Which may or may not have been a good day. I feel great today though, whether it is the fresh air or the diet I'm very excited :O). Without a workout video I did what I could remember, which wore me out so must have been close to all of it, something is better then nothing right? I hope everyone has a great day.

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 …
