Thursday's with Annette - Beef Tortilla Stack
Thursday’s thought… Have you ever wondered 'what is life.' They say it’s from B to D, Birth to Death. But what’s between B and D? It’s the letter 'C.' So what does 'C' represent? It’s CHOICE. Our life is a matter of choices, so remember we always have a choice no matter what the situation in life. Annette :-)
Wednesday’s thought… Anzac Day is a day to reflect and honour those who served... their courage, endurance, love of country and mateship. Thank you to those brave Anzacs, both men and women, who gave their lives so that we could feel safe and protected. With gratitude and love Annette :-)
A lot of people say they struggle with snacking. Snacks are definitely part of a healthy eating plan and help to keep your blood sugar in balance until the next meal. The key is getting it right. If you struggle with snacking click on the image below to read my tips.

Snacking habits | Symply Too Good To Be True
symplytoogood.com.au
Are your snacking habits letting you down? Snacking itself is not a problem, but be aware that all those bits and pieces can really add up.
Tuesday’s thought… Things happen and we wonder why? I have learnt that someday in the future you’ll look back and understand why it all happened the way it did. Often when life gives us a challenge or curve ball there’s a lesson or experience we receive. Everything happens for a reason even if at the time we can't understand it. Annette :-)
RECIPE TIME: If you grew up in Australia I’m sure you had home-baked Anzac biscuits at some point in your childhood. I have fond memories of baking these with my Grandmother and will never forget how they smelt as they came out of the oven. So, I thought I’d share my Golden Oat Crunches recipe with you to bake for Anzac Day.

These are my low fat alternative to Anzac biscuits. Oats are high in fibre and have a low GI making this a great snack option.
Happy birthday to the most amazing boss on the planet.

I count my blessings everyday to share an office with you. You're a fabulous boss and an even better friend. May your birthday be as fabulous as you are :-) Dianne
Monday’s thought…It’s my birthday today! As I celebrate my special day I am in a reflective mood. Looking back over my 63 years on this earth I have experienced so much and what stands out the most is how grateful I feel. I am so thankful for all I have in my life and treasure every day. I am blessed – now bring on the cake :-) Annette
Take some time to get outdoors this weekend. A little fresh air and sunshine will do wonders for your state of mind, and the added movement give your metabolism a boost. Have a great weekend. Annette :-)

Friday’s thought…What have you planned for the weekend? I’m doing a baking day on Saturday. I’ll be making Lasagne book 1, Creamy Tuna Pasta Bake Book 4, Beef Tortilla Stack Book 3, Ham and Corn Slice Book 7 and Chicken In a Hurry Book 1. It might seem like an effort at the time but it’s so great when you don’t have to cook and can just defrost a meal on those busy days. Cooking is love made visible. Annette :-)
