I LOVE the Mormon Messages and this has always been one of my very favorites because I can relate so well.

Day 21 — A favorite recipe
- Since I started my Biggest Loser Challenge this week I thought I'd share my most favorite recipe I tried this week (there were really so many good ones to choose from). Since I'm a pizza and mushroom lover this one just clicked for me and taking a bite was like a walk in heaven- SO good:) This will definitely be a much used recipe for me!
Recipe: Portobello "pizzas"
Most prefer to eat this “pizza” with a knife and fork!
Ingredients
- 4 whole Portobello mushroom caps (about 5” each), stemmed removed
- 1/2 cup low fat marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup lean turkey Italian sausage, cooked, drained and crumbled
- 4 tablespoons shredded fat free or low fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wipe the mushrooms clean Place them on a baking sheet, gill side up.
Spoon sauce over each cap, then sprinkle on sausage and cheeses. Place in the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh basil. Serve immediately.
Tips
Mushroom factoid: One portabella mushroom has as much potassium as a banana.

Day 20 — A hobby of mine
I don't really know if you could consider this a hobby, but I LOVE to read! I just wish I had more time to do it.
Day 18 — Dream house
Hogwarts Castle complete with house elves to do the cleaning and cooking. That's not too much to ask for is it?
Day 16 — A favorite food
CHEESE! By itself or added to pretty much anything. I love cheese! Guess it's a good thing I live in the cheese state huh!

Day 13 — A talent of mine
I've been struggling a lot lately to discover what my talents are and here is what I came up with. I have compassion and love and forgive easily, I am a pretty good cook, I rock at board games, I used to be pretty good on alto sax, I used to be pretty good at public speaking, I used to be pretty good at the flute and I'm very competitive and used to be good at most athletics. Looks like I have a lot of sharpening up to do on my talents:/

Caterpillar by: Baily Bug
My sweet little daughter loves doing any kind of artwork and this was one of her earlier pieces that I just adore!

Day 06 — A fun fact about me
I am half Tlingit Indian which is an Alaskan Indian Tribe based off of Sitka Alaska. I am of the Frog Clan which means I get along with all sorts of people- land and water creatures. I always loved frogs growing up (I even had a pet frog named Toni!) and was so excited to learn that I was of the Frog Clan. I have an ancestor who has a totem pole he made in the Smithsonian. I have never been to Alaska and am ashamed to say I don't know a whole lot about my tribe and my people's history but I will go there someday and plan on learning more about this great heritage. My dad has always taught me to be proud of my Native heritage and I truly am so proud of it! (I even beat up a kid in daycare for making fun of Indians and my dad was so proud!)Tuesday, March 01, 2011

Day 1- A Favorite Song
Ok. First thing you'll probably learn about me is that I can't choose just one favorite of anything really. I love lots of things. And that's certainly the case when it comes to music. But instead of listing the hundreds of songs I adore I'll keep it to 5.
I Know That My Redeemer Lives by Linda Rowberry
*see video below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0NoxhsH8rE
This was from the EFY cd the year I went to EFY and words can't express the emotion this song rouses in me. It has increased my testimony, held me up in unbearable times. I love this song. I love my Savior and I KNOW He lives!
Caribbean Blue by Enya
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl8iYAo90pE
I just think this song is so beautiful and whenever I'm stressed I like to listen to this song and just melt away into a stress-free beautiful world.
Weeping by Josh Groban
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LnB2fZkLAI
Not only do I LOVE my Josh, not only are our birthdays on the same day (we're soul mates you see), but his music really moves me. I could pick any of his songs to be my favorite but this one is just so moving to me. I even got to see him sing it live in concert and it was a moment I'll never forget!!
Nightingale by Yanni
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhV2ceRw2N4
I admit- I am in love with Yanni. I have been since I was a kid and I've gone to a couple of his concerts- life changing! This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard!!
He Lives In You from the Lion King Broadway Musical
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=337-X4msyFY
I really do like more music than just sentimental ones but these are the ones that just reach my soul. Ok... now that everyone knows what a dork I am I think I'll go be productive or something.
