Our little house. 19 people. Yeah, even though 9 of those bodies are kids.....they all have to fit someplace =D and.........I AM SO EXCITED!!! So much so, I've awakened before my alarm the past 4 days. Like an hour before.....like 4.30.....AM......in......the......morning. I haven't been to the gym that early since late September. Maybe it's the new supplements my Doc prescribed. I have been feeling way less tired and have had more energy. Or maybe, just maybe, it's because I'm TERRIBLY EXCITED FOR THANKSGIVING!!!! YEA! I love to bake, cook and entertain. Love, love, love it! Ben and I've been planning on where we're going to put coats and shoes. I've been thinking about when to start cooking the bird. Ahhhh. So.much.fun.
Back to my energy level. I have not needed a nap in two weeks. I've gone to bed about 9.30 or 10 and wake up around 5.30 except on the week ends and I feel great!!! Who would have know that adding two supplement would change so much? Thank you Lord! Thank you Doc!
Changing subjects yet again; I made apple fritters for breakfast this Saturday (my own recipe) and finally, actually measured the ingredients (in the past I would just add a dash of this and that). They ROCKED. These are just too yummy not to share (if I do say so myself). Here they are *imaginary drum roll*
c.=cup; T.=tablespoon; t.= teaspoon
Katy's Apple Fritters
1 c. white flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
2 T. sugar
3 t. baking powder
1/2 t. each of cinnamon and nutmeg
1/4 t. cloves
4 c. apples, cored, unpeeled and cored
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. cinnamon sugar
oil for frying
Mix dry ingredients and wet separately then combine. Batter should be the consistency of thick cake batter. Using a deep frying skillet heat 1 in. of oil (I use veggie oil) over med. heat. Once hot turn heat down to med-low and start scooping and frying batter. BE VERY CAREFUL!!! Fry both side to a well brownedness (no not burnt!). Remove from oil and coat both sides with cinnamon sugar. Serve warm.

Did I mention these are totally healthy? =D Haw, haw, haw! This is why I walked 5.5 miles yesterday!!! Burning the fritters off.
