Tim Nolan is an amazing guy with a basketball or even very small balls. Click here to see a Snotr video and watch his unbelievable skill. I don’t know what his percentage of accuracy is, but just the fact that he can do what he does at all is really something. If you have sports enthusiasts at your house, then you might want to share this video with them.

PS I just read that he’s a professional juggler and basketball entertainer. It’s still amazing anyway!

These individual cheesecakes would be nice to serve at a wedding shower if you wanted something different from traditional cake. They are simple to make with the following ingredients:

• 1 pkg. Nestle Toll House Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar Dough
  
• 2 8-oz pkgs. cream cheese at room temperature
• 1 can Nestle Carnation Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 21-oz can of cherry pie filling (optional)

PREHEAT oven to 325 degrees.

LINE 24 muffin cups with paper liners and place one piece of cookie dough in each muffin cup.

BAKE for 10-12 minutes until cookie has spread to edge of cup.

BEAT cream cheese, canned milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

POUR about 3 tablespoons cream cheese mixture over each cookie in the muffin cups. BAKE an additional 15-18 minutes until the cheese mixture is set. Cool completely. REFRIGERATE for at least one hour. Remove paper liners before serving.

TOP with a teaspoonful of cherries. (Or if red cherries do not go with your color scheme, then you could top with fresh fruit to color coordinate such as kiwi for green, blueberries for blue, etc., or for something neutral you could use shaved chocolate. That’s just my idea.)

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge Him,

and He will make your paths straight.

Do not be wise in your own eyes;

fear the Lord and shun evil.

This will bring health to your body

and nourishment to your bones.”

(NIV) Proverbs 3:5-8

I want to lose five pounds, but I want to do it slowly so that I can develop more healthy habits. One pound a week is good for me. I plan to try to reduce sugar (Easter candy didn’t help any…and we still have some left!), eat healthy meals with more raw fresh foods and fiber, drink more tea, eat protein with every meal or snack, and walk more. Some people like to use pills such as eca stack, but each person has to figure out what works best for them.

#1. What’s your favorite form of potatoes?

I guess my very favorite would be fried potatoes with onions, although we rarely have those because of the “fried” factor. A close second would be my “easy mashed potatoes” which are like a comfort food and yet healthy at the same time. I don’t have to feel guilty about eating them like I would the fried potatoes or mashed potatoes loaded with butter and cream.

#2. Pie crust. Premade or from scratch?

I loved my mother’s homemade pie crust. It was so delicate and flakey…so yummy. She passed away in 2000, so it’s been years since I’ve eaten her pies. (My friend, Michelle, makes the closest thing to my mother’s pie crusts that I’ve tasted.) I rarely make pies, but when I do, half the time I buy premade pie crust and half the time I make it from scratch.

#3. Vegetables. Fresh, frozen or canned?

Fresh, when in season. The majority of the time I buy frozen.

#4. What one dish do you wish you could prepare better?

I wish I could make pie crust exactly like my mother’s.
