I love quick and easy.
I love good food.
I love salsa best of all.
I love this recipe because it's quick and easy and good food..and salsa.
I found this amazing salsa recipe from Six Sisters' Stuff blog. Ahh-some.
Here is what you need..
To do…
To achieve…
There may have been tears (and not because I had to share..)but this was one super easy salsa recipe and I will remake often. Like weekly often. And I'm the only one who eats salsa in the family. Lucky me.
- 28oz can of Whole Tomatoes (drained)
- 1-2 jalapenos or (1) 4oz can jalapenos
- 1 med yellow onion
- 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin (Six Sisters' Stuff calls for 1 tsp but I thought it was too over powering, test it out for yourself)
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp lime juice
- Dump it all in your food processor and pulse a few times..I did about 10x. Done. I actually put mine in fridge for 2 hours before serving to let the flavors mingle and get to know each other.

|NCAA Tournament Capsules

Corey Fisher and Reggie Redding each had 13 points for the third-seeded Wildcats (28-7), who advanced to the round of 16 in the East Region.
Josh Shipp led UCLA with 18 points and Darren Collison had 15. It's the earliest exit for the sixth-seeded Bruins (26-9) since a first-round loss in the 2005 NCAA tournament.
Backed by a raucous, hometown crowd at their off-campus home, Villanova jumped on UCLA early and hardly let up. A 19-2 run that started five minutes in put the Wildcats ahead 28-11 before the midpoint of the first half, and the Bruins never seriously threatened.
West Regional
Memphis 89, Maryland 70
Tyreke Evans scored 19 points and the Tigers shot a sizzling 70 percent in the first half, awakening from their first-round slumber to belt the Terps.
Roburt Sallie, the surprise hero of Thursday's hard-fought victory over No. 15 seed Cal State Northridge, came off the bench and kept up his 3-point onslaught by hitting his first three, making him 13-for-19 for the tourney. He finished with 13 points.
The second-seeded Tigers (33-3) knocked the Terps (21-14) on the ropes with a 9-0 run in the opening minutes and led by as many as 23 while mounting a 53-33 halftime lead. Shawn Taggart had a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.
Greivis Vasquez had 18 points to lead Maryland.
M from the opening tip with Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun back on the bench.
After getting treatment for dehydration and missing Connecticut's first-round game, Calhoun came back and never had to worry. The Huskies scored the first 10 points and kept pulling away.
Stanley Robinson had 12 points for the top-seeded Huskies (29-4), who will play the Washington-Purdue winner in the West Region semifinals in Glendale, Ariz.
ints. The No. 9 seed Aggies (24-10) were knocked out by the top seed in the second round for the second straight year.

Michelle MacLaren may not be a household name yet, but if you're a fan of shows like Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead, than you are likely familiar with her work. Warner Bros. has just announced that MacLaren will soon be able to add another high-profile project to her resume: The upcoming Wonder Woman movie. The latest DC Comics adaptation will hit theaters sometime in 2017. Along with serving as an executive producer for Breaking Bad, MacLaren also directed several episodes of the series, as well as, episodes of The Walking Dead, The Leftovers, Better Call Saul and other TV hits ...

We've got good news and bad news for Parks and Rec fans. The good news is that Chris Traeger and Ann Perkins (played by Rob Lowe and Rashida Jones) will return to Pawnee for the show's final season next year. The bad news is, they'll only be back for a single episode. In an interview with TVLine.com, executive producer Mike Schur said, "We made a list of people that we needed to see back one more time. We didn't get everybody we wanted … But a lot of the people we were hoping to see one more time — we managed to make that happen." The seventh and final season of the NBC sitcom will only be 13 episodes, but with Chris, Ann and other Pawnee favorites returning, it will literally be the best send-off, of all-time ... Discuss
There's been some interesting developments with the critically-acclaimed detective show Luther. Just days after it was announced that Idris Elba will not star in a new, American version of the drama being developed by Fox, the BBC announced that the actor would be returning to their network for at least two more 60-minute episodes.
Even though series creator Neil Cross and Elba have signed on to executive produce the new Fox version of the series, Cross released a statement this week saying, "Luther is coming back where he belongs. Back to the BBC. Back to London. And back to work." The comment seems weirdly exclusive considering it was made the day after Fox released their own announcement about the American version. The new BBC episodes are expected to air some time next year, while the pilot for the Fox version is still in development ... Discuss
Last week, Woody Harrelson hosted SNL for the first time since 1989 and, all told, made a strong case for him being a much more regular host. It was the show's best episode in ages, featuring some social commentary, goofy antics and riveting performances from musical guest Kendrick Lamar. Surprisingly enough, it appears this SNL was actually overloaded with good content. The following sketch was performed in-studio, but cut from the actual broadcast, and it's a very sharp-but-sweet satire of Twitter and how much time we waste on it. Keep it up, SNL ... Discuss
In a not terribly surprising move, NBC has pulled the plug on 77-year-old Bill Cosby's new pilot, which was to be his return to television. The move comes on the heels of a series of sexual assault allegations (and renewed interest in old sexual assault allegations that were never given much attention), and Cosby's refusal to comment. Former model Janice Dickinson is the latest and most high-profile person to level an accusation against Cosby, saying that she was drugged by him back in 1982. That brings the total number of public accusations up to 15, though several journalists say they are talking with women who wish to remain anonymous ... Discuss

Tell Santa you want a thinner waistline this December and give up trying yourself — there is a new baker in town. Katie Bakes has opened in River Ranch.
Located at 1042 Camellia Blvd., next to City Club, Katie Bakes is the baked lovechild of Katie Meaux. Meaux is a Lafayette native and LSU alumna who decided to come back to her first love of baking. After working in Baton Rouge at Cupcake Couture, Meaux has opened her own shop back home.
The menu boasts cake pops and whoopie pies. Cake pops are the new trend after cupcakes, rounded bites of cake on a stick. Perfect for someone who says they just want a few bites. Katie Bakes offers nearly 20 different flavors from which to choose. Whoopie pies are traditionally a New England treat and are most like gigantic, homemade Oreos or a cookie sandwich. If it sounds decadent, it is. Katie Bakes has nearly 20 flavors of these as well. One example is the Ragin' Cajun whoopie pie: chocolate cayenne buttercream and then rolled in cinnamon sprinkles. Another is the French Quarter whoopie pie which is a brown sugar and pecan whoopie with maple buttercream filling and praline topping. Check out her menu here.
Katie Bakes also features CC's as its java of choice. Milk and other beverages are available as well.
The bakery is open 11 a.m. — 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Thurdays, 11 a.m. — 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Sundays and Mondays it is closed. Themed parties are available for kids and adults at Katie Bakes. Call 704-2287 for details.

This is an age old game and the original version was very popular in the 1890's. The above game includes a lovingly crafted wooden tray which can be used to store the counters and play the game on. A low-cost, but well-made vintage game.
This traditional card game dates from the Victorian times, and the version above has been reproduced from a 1905 version. The cards feature beautiful illustrations, and this is a game that all the family can play. A nice gift idea.
This has been a family favourite for many generations, and this version of the game is based on an early 1900s original game. Features metal goals with goalkeepers, six blow tubes and foam balls. However, the link below will lead you to a choice of blow football games.
Now this is a very traditional and fun toy. Watch the clown tumble down the two poles when you push them together at the bottom.
Simply turn the handle and up pops Jack! It also plays a melody, and this is one of those simple, old-fashioned toys that is almost guaranteed to put a smile on a child's face. The original, tin Jack-in-the-Box toys featured a jester or a clown, although they now come in many varieties.
This helical spring can perform tricks, and I remember watching my friends slinky walk down the stairs back in the 70s. It uses a clever combination of momentum and gravity and was invented back in the 1940s by Richard Thompson James, a naval engineer.

Kaanapali Condo Rental Photos and Description
Come Enjoy Our Completely Renovated 1 Bedroom Unit With 180 Degree Ocean View.
Aloha, welcome to our home in Maui. For years we have dreamed about owning a home in Maui and finally our dream has come true. We would enjoy it if we could share it with you.
Situated in West Maui on Kaanapali beach, the Mahana brings you closer to the water than most can imagine. Less than 50 feet to the water the Mahana literally sits atop Kaanapali beach. The Mahana is at the north end of Kaanapali beach-walk, which is a 3 hour roundtrip walk, suitable for jogging and strollers. It takes you along the beach in front of luxury residences and resorts with the famous Black Rock in the middle of the journey.
Our Unit is #406 (on the 4th floor) which gives you a perfect 180 degree view of beach, palm trees and surrounding Hawaiian islands of Lanai and Molokai (and a distant view of Oahu).
Full Remodel Completed December 2013, with our first guests checked in December 22nd. Updated features include...Travertine floors, granite countertops, stone wall entry way, rustic kitchen cabinets that contain cookware for a cook, custom bath and shower using natural stone, luxury furnishings and artwork throughout the home, all tied together with a natural pacific island feel.
Again, welcome to our home.
NEW property update....
We just purchased a 2bd 2ba Penthouse Condo in Kahana.
Located on the 12th floor at The Royal Kahana. It is currently being totally remodeled and will be furnished in a comfortable modern theme. Search VRBO 515699.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Dianna Feeley
We are a California native family who has developed a close relationship with Hawaii.
Dianna Feeley purchased this condo in 2013
Why Dianna Feeley chose Kaanapali
The Mahana at Kaanapali is situated closer to the ocean than any resort in Maui. As frequent Hawaii visitors, we understand exactly what a visitor expects and desires when staying in Maui.
What makes this condo unique
Our unit offers the quintessential view of Hawaiian landscape. A ground unit may offer direct access from patio to beach, but limits itself to the beautiful surrounding views. A top floor unit offers a panorama view of the ocean but without views of the palm trees, beach and waves. Our home offers the most desirable blend of palm trees, beach, waves and surrounding island views from living room, bedroom and lanai. Open the door to our 4th floor unit, walk in and you'll be nothing short of amazed!

Last week I reached the milestone of losing 50 lbs. (insert applause and cheering - I am so excited about this!! )
I have been shopping exclusively at Lane Bryant or Torrid, or other plus size online stores. When going shopping with my sisters I am never able to buy from the cheaper stores. It gets to be expensive.
With all of this weight lost a friend told me I should try Kohl's for their clothing. She suggested it for the quality but also the value. Especially since I don't plan on stopping at 50 lbs. lost, I need to reach that 100 lbs. milestone and beyond. So I don't want to break the bank to look fashionable in my "inbetween" sizes. I didn't realize that Kohls even had a plus size section!
Backstory - I LOVE hoodies. I can never find one that fits me though. They are either too big or too small. The plus size versions are way too wide and long, but the smaller sizes never zipped up on me.
So as we were shopping at Kohl's I did a mini shopping spree. I found the softest, cutest hoodie. BUT it was not in the plus size section, it was in the regular section and a size XL. It was half off and a great price. But would it fit? I tried it on, and do you know it fit me perfectly? Like it was made for me???
This prompted me to look around the "regular" size section and I found that their sizes in some brands go up to 18. So I tried on dress pants. They fit! I tried on shirts (XL). They fit!!! I didn't buy one thing from the plus size section!
I am so proud of myself and still a little bit in disbelief. I look up to God. Me? Really? Because I couldn't have done this without Him.
20/22 shirt NOW 14/16
3XL shirt NOW XL
24/26 pant NOW 18/20
26/28 jean NOW 20
48 F bra NOW 42 DDD
We went away this weekend to our cottage in Michigan and we had so much fun. There are four little kids in the family now, my two girls (3 yrs. and 6 mo.) and my two nephews (2 yrs. and 8 mo.). My daughter just started sledding this year and my nephew had never been before. In the backyard of the cottage there is a small hill. We all decided to try it out and got out some blow up sleds we had brought. My nephew had a blast, and so did my daughter. But the people who had the most fun, I think, were the grownups! All the men in the family were trying to outdo each other, and trying to make it to the ice, and the girls were also having fun. Grandpa even got into it! It made me realize that before I had kids I would never have thought to go sledding again, it's been at least 20 yrs. since I've gone. I also realized that last year I would never have had as much energy as this year, going up and down the hill, running after the kids, jumping on the sled. It was just exhilarating and I was so thankful to God for this body he's given me, no matter how imperfect it is now, and for my beautiful children and for my young-at-heart husband and for my family!
AND and as added bonus - sledding is in the fitness tracker AND for 30 minutes of sledding you burn an average of 413 calories!!! That's almost twice as much as me doing 3 miles w/ Leslie Sansone for 35 minutes (I burn about 275 calories for that).
Thank you Lord!!
Below is my February Move It! Plan (to be altered as needed). I also posted it on my SparkPage, but I thought a monthly blog of my actions would help keep me accountable.
Let's all MOVE IT this February!!
Cardio 4x a week
Strength training 2x
Every morning - at least 1 mile w/ Leslie
Sat: Core Commotion or Aqua class
Sun: Track or bike
Mon: Zumba
Tues: Ultimate Conditioning or Aqua class
Wed: Strength (if I don't go to Ultimate Conditioning)
Fri: NIA (If I can go at lunch)
One aqua aerobics class per wk.
Try to get up from my desk job once every hour and walk for 5-10 minutes. Also in nice weather walk next door to Starbucks to write.
My daughter threw a tantrum yesterday after her swim class at the gym. My daughter is only 3 yrs. old. Yet she already knows the words �pretty� and �beautiful�. It is a mark of �making it� even at only 3 years old. This makes me very sad, and I wondered how had this happened? To my daughter? Me, being a person who values beauty on the inside more than on the out? Hadn�t I taught her right? It was a perplexing situation, as she was screaming on the floor of the locker room, crying because I had brought her glitter tights instead of her tights with the hearts on them. She was screaming over and over again �I won�t look pretty! I won�t look pretty!� I could tell that the other moms within earshot were a.) happy that this situation was not happening to them and b) wondering to themselves what they would do in my same situation.
My daughter, Lucy, started pre-school earlier this year. She�s in a class for 3 yr. olds that meets 3x a week for just two hours. But already there are girls in her class who are considered the �prettiest� because they have the longest hair, or are the best dressed. I was shocked that it starts this early. These same two girls will shun my daughter sometimes and not return her tentative �hi�, and sometimes even call her �pooh-pooh breath�. Now I know kids can be mean. I know all of that. But as a mother, it tears my heart out.
So what to do. Earlier in the day I had given her a bath and we were playing with the suds in the bubbles and I marveled at how much it glittered. I told her she was holding the sky in her hands, the clouds, and that she held a piece of the world within her. I said that she could become whatever she wanted to, and that no dream would be impossible for her. I hope that what I say to her does seep in. Mothers have a big impact on their daughter's self esteem and I want to let Lucy know that she IS beautiful.
I handled the tantrum by counting her down and eventually as I got to "3" I had to give her a timeout in the bathroom of the locker room, away from bystanders. I was calm and gentle and tried to be loving. She was fine after that and we went on our way.
Last night as I tucked her into bed, I talked to Lucy about what beautiful is. I asked her if she knew what it meant and she didn�t really have an answer. I told her that God made us all unique and beautiful and that there are two types of beauty � that on the inside and that on the outside. I told her that being beautiful on the inside meant that you were kind, had a good heart, thought of others, and then I specifically told her what made her beautiful on the inside � the fact that she is a great older sister, that she cares about people and cries during sad parts of movies. That she gives hugs freely and is a wonderful artist, singer and isn�t afraid to be herself. I also told her that she is beautiful on the outside and noted her specific traits - her large hazel eyes, her curls of gold and her toenails, always painted a bright shade and I reminded her that we all are, each unique in our own way and designed by God.
I went online this morning and found that Dove has a campaign for real beauty. Girls of all ages made their own videos defining beauty. The link is below. I plan on downloading the free workbook and going through it with Lucy, no time is ever too young, I guess. Sad but true.
There�s a favorite book of mine that Lucy and I both know by heart. I�m reminded of the ending words of that book, where the girl tells her brother that he can do anything.
�I told him it's very easy, anyone can fly. All you need is somewhere to go you can't get to any other way. The next thing you know, you�re flying among the stars.�
-- Faith Ringgold, 'Tar Beach'
Start: 259.5
End: 251.5
LOSS of 8 lbs.
Inches lost: one inch from my waist
one inch from my hips
TOTAL INCHES LOST: 2 inches
Fitness minutes: 1,030 for the month - I was aiming for 500. I doubled that goal! I never thought I could do 1,000 minutes a month and those Spark Friends of mine that got trophies for such a feat I looked at in awe. I've found that I shouldn't underestimate myself and that I can do it too!
Miles: I was aiming specifically for 50 miles - a combination of miles w/ Leslie and my workouts at the gym. I met that goal and then some, walking a total of 66 miles in January!
Tweaks: I had to lower my calorie range after losing weight and it's been difficult to adjust to this. I have had days where I've gone over my calorie range. I'm trying to stay within my range now.
I will add pictures to this blog tomorrow, I took a "before" and "after" for January alone in my workout clothes (eek!).
Also a great tool for me this month has been the SparkPeople calendar. Each day has 4 sections in it and each section has a goal, thus 4 goals for each day. Taking Coach Nicole's que, I highlight those sections where I succeed, and put an "X" in the days where I don't. I am going to scan my January calendar page and also post it within this blog tomorrow. My specific goals for myself in January were: water (drink at least 8 cups) workout (workout every day), fruits & veggies - get at least 3 in! And to stay within my calorie range.
Also this month I went shopping for my 45 lbs. lost reward and have gone down several sizes! At my highest I wore a 20/22 shirt, 24/26 pant, 26/28 jean and my bra was a 48 F.
I found out this month that I am NOW: a 14/16 shirt, 22 pant AND jean (almost a 20), Bust 42DDD. (Yes, you read that right, triple D, but it's better than an "F"! And it sounds hot, LOL!)
So am I happy with my results? Overall yes, but I am slightly disappointed at the loss of 8 lbs. this month - see after the Christmas and New Year holidays, I had gained 4 lbs., so at first I thought I had only lost 4 lbs. this month, not 8. Most of the lbs. I lost were the first week of January, after my body disposed of all the extra calories I ate on Christmas and New Year's. But I know my body, and I have always been a "slow" loser. Think of the turtle and the hare. I'm definitely the turtle! I need to clearly see what I am doing right and what I can change. I can't be afraid to change or tweak my plans and goals. But I know that ultimately if I keep on keeping on I will win this race!
I will post my February Move It Plan tomorrow. I am aiming for 10 lbs. DONE in February! I plan on reaching my 50 lbs. lost milestone too.

Breaking News - Bourque Re-signed
Kent Wilson
February 25 2010 10:15AM
Reports are filtering in from Twitter and the FAN960 that Rene Bourque has indeed been re-signed by the Flames to a multi-year deal. I will update this post with reactions once the details are revealed. My initial reaction is "pleased", however.
TSN claims the contract has a cap hit of $3.3M for 6 years. Score one for internet rumors.
Not too long ago, Jean Lefebvre had this word of caution for signing Bourque to such a long term deal:
six years would be an awful long commitment for a player who has shown no ability to stay healthy and, given his rambunctious and sometimes reckless style, is a poor candidate to turn into Doug Jarvis as he hits his 30s. Bourque was injured heading into the Olympic break and has missed 91 games and counting over the past four seasons with various ailments.
Those are fair points. Bourque has had a lot of trouble staying healthy and seems to be a lock to miss some 10+ games a year. In addition, one wonders how long he'll be able to operate at this level, which is undoubtedly his peak, given the wear and tear he puts on his body.
Alex Auld, Back-up Solution
Kent Wilson
February 24 2010 12:34PM
According to a tweet bt TSN's Bob McKenzie, the Dallas Stars have waived journeyman back-up Alex Auld today. The former Senator/Canuck (etc.) is having a below average season in the South this year, posting an .894 SV% in in 21 games played. That's the worst save rate the 29 year old has managed in the last 3 seasons, having posted a .911 SV% in OTT and a .919 SV% in BOS previously.

The playoffs are here, and while most of us were hoping to meet Russia for the gold medal, meeting them in the quarter-final won't lessen the intensity, excitement or nervousness.
Stretch preview (Part I)
Jean Lefebvre
February 24 2010 08:00AM
As quick as you can say Mats Zuccarello Aasen, the Olympics will be over and we will be returned to our regularly scheduled National Hockey League programming.
In Calgary, that means the analysis of the Ales Kotalik Era at the Saddledome will begin anew and the fretting about the Flames' fate will regain momentum.
Dustin Boyd's Falling Stock
Kent Wilson
February 23 2010 12:26PM
With the addition of so many new bodies, the competition for roster spots in the Flames forward rotation is a fierce one these days. A player either has to be clearly superior to his competition or at least a body with a defined role. And when Calgary's regular season went on hold recently, it looked like Dustin Boyd was neither.

Woman scalps Jodi Arias trial seat for $200
Updated On: Apr 26 2013 09:18:34 AM CDT
People wait in line for hours outside the court house each day for a chance at one of a handful of seats open to the public in Jodi Arias' ongoing murder trial in Arizona.
The spectator crowds are growing steadily for the trial and seats are provided on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Desiree Lee, a regular attendee of the trial, said another woman had traveled from Michigan to see the trial but couldn't get a seat because she was too far back in line. So Lee sold her spot to this woman for $200. The court reprimanded the two women and Lee was told to return the money while that woman was allowed to keep her seat.
Neither woman faces any charges.
Arias faces a potential death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2008 killing of her one-time boyfriend at his suburban Phoenix home.

Thursday 27th November 2014
The Foreign Office has warned travellers to avoid areas of Cairo after violence broke out in the Egyptian capital.
Protesters and police clashed yesterday leaving 10 dead and hundreds wounded over fears that the country is moving towards a military dictatorship.
Parliamentary elections are scheduled to start on November 28.
There were also reports of demonstrations in towns outside Cairo and across Egypt.
The FCO has amended its travel advice to British nationals, and advise that they should stay away from the flash-point areas around Tahrir and the Downtown area and avoid crowds
It advised following events on local and international news and seeking advice from their tour operators where appropriate.
The British Embassy remains open, but given its proximity to Tahrir, the Foreign Office advises travellers to call on 02 2791 6000 before making their way to the Embassy.
Middle East and North Africa minister, Alistair Burt said: "It is important Egypt enters the coming elections in an atmosphere of calm and mutual respect. The clashes between police and protesters in Tahrir Square and across Egypt are deeply concerning and the loss of life and injuries deeply regrettable.
"I condemn the violence, and call on all sides to find a peaceful way forward, committing themselves to dialogue and the completion of a transfer to democratic civilian rule on the basis of a credible timetable."
