Today: I am putting together a list of fun Halloween food for the party this weekend:
- mummy dogs (hot dogs wrapped in strips of crest rolls)
- frozen eyeballs (laichee filled w/ jam and a blueberry, freeze)
- bread bowl fire cauldren (rye bread bowl filled w/ dip. Under the bowl you put red & yellow peppers for flames & pretzel rods for wood)
- rice krispie treats dipped in melted chocolates & Halloween sprinkles
- brain hemerrage shot (vanilla vodka, float of baileys w/ a dash of grenadine poured through)
- Halloween themed cake (design TBA)
- pumpkin cheese balls (from the tub of smoked cheese. Pretzel stick stump, cilantro leaf)
I think thats all Ive got planned for now. A girlfriend of mine will be coming over Saturday to help me get everything ready to bring to the party. I will be sure to take pics of our creations (if they turn out good LOL) and post them next week. Anyone have any other fun ideas? Please share!!!

Today's Review: 
Cindy Whitmarsh, Barry Jay, 2008 This 15 minute ab workout was fun and challenging. Similar in format to the other workouts in the FatBlaster set. Each exercise lasts one minute with 30ish seconds inbetween to set up for the next more/ get your equipment ready. Cindy leads w/ Barry walking around giving tips and providing motivation. The set is a nice room w/ carpet and wooden panels on the walls- bright & nice. Madison provides the beginner modifications. You will need the Transformer ball and an exercise band.
Some of the moves are standing-torso twists w/ the band, side bends w/ the band. Some are on the ball-full sit ups using the band. Some are on the floor-bycicle holding the transfomer ball over your head. The moves were different than the moves in the other 2 ab workouts. I found them unique and fun (still challenging of course!). By the end my abs are definately feeling it!
I would rate this a solid intermediate ab w/o. Its a nice addition to the Fat Blaster series and provides some additional variety when doing a longer BBC rotation.

Today's Recipe: Eye of Round Roast
Ingredients:1 (3 pound) beef eye of round roast
salt, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, etc to taste
salt, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, etc to taste
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Season the roast with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan or baking dish. Do not cover or add water.
Place the roast in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Roast for 21 minutes (seven minutes per pound) then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 1/2 hours. Do not open the door at all during this time!
Remove the roast from the oven, the internal temperature should have reached at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Carve into thin slices to serve.
* I made this over the weekend and it was very good and very easy! Im not sure how big my roast was but I didnt keep it in the over for the full 2.5 hours so I would say watch it and temp it after an hour & a half. I put garlic & onions on top while it was cooking and it was very yummmmy.

Today's Tip: Weight Loss Tip #1: Fill up on Veggies
If you’re like most of us, you like to have a full plate of food at mealtime. You probably also hate the feeling of hunger. The only way to have your large portions, AND lose weight, is to eat lots and lots of low-calorie veggies. Cook them, steam them, chop them — whatever you prefer — just be sure to eat lots and lots of veggies! More on Firm Direct here.
