Im wearing red and Im crabby

So today mom wrote about being red for women so I thought I would give you a recipe I seen when she was looking for something healthy to make for dinner. It seems from listening to her that it is hard to find normal healthy food recipes. Something that everyone including my teenage boy will eat that isnt fancy or have weird have to run out and buy them ingredients. Anyway, I thought this sounded good and since I'm kinda crabby today since I have to get my bath it seemed kind of appropriate. Remember to wear your red today I am. Today Im sporting my red sweater mom made me. Ill see if I can get her to take a picture by looking all cute.

Bye for now,
