Spring is in the air

First bloom of my Azaleas





My whole flower garden


The Hastas are doing very well too.
The Crape Myrtle's behind them will bloom in the summer


This rose will bloom continuously all summer





Cecilia's beautiful Irises  (I heeled them in while she was away)
Then we replanted them here.



Life is SOOOOOOOOO Sweet!

Yummy jiffy snacks (ultra low cal) looks like hamburger, but itsnot


Grandpa Sid's, very own, yummy ultra low cal (less than 1/2 weight watcher point per portion) Cherry flavored, jiffy any time snacks.  (I have lost three lbs in almost as many days confining my snacking to these yummy morsels)
Apple and cherry are yummy. strawberry and raspberry are next on the list.  Also oats are supposed to lower cholesterol, with which I don't have a problem, thank goodness.
My first trial had a lot of pureed raisins added, then raisins and cocoa powder.  I experienced several good nose bleeds.  I had forgotten that cocoa thins the blood and found that raisins do too.  So I switched to the recipe below. 

preheat oven to 175
Ingredients:
2 cups unsweetened apple sauce 
4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 tsp vanilla
1 portion of Walmart's "great value" sugarless, cherry flavored drink mix

Combine apple sauce, flavor powder and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and mix throughly.
add rolled oats and mix throughly.
Spray a non stick on a large cookie sheet and spread the mix evenly over the whole sheet.

Place in preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and cut into 1.5 x 3.5 wafers and place on a cooling rack.

Total weight watchers points for the recipe is 12.
