Dropped the stuff home, packed up lunch and took off on a walk. I'm trying to increase my urban walking these next few weeks versus my usual treks in the mountains to build up these flabby calves of mine for the NYC trip. Soooo excited. Now if only these various and sundry whack jobs and their suspicious packages would just cut the #@%&

Shelly's Caramel Macchiato Pudding - Add 1/2 of a Taster's Choice Instant Coffee Tube to 1/2 cup of SF Vanilla Pudding as you are making it allow to set... or for a quickie version mix the coffee crystals into a SF Vanilla Pudding Cup. I add a drizzle of Sugar Free Caramel Sauce (Smucker's)
Shelly's NY Pizza Bites (cross between my Pizza Bites & Bruschetta Bites)
1 Yellow Onion, diced
12 (pizza size) Pepperoni slices, diced
1/2 cup Storebought Bruschetta Sauce, drained, solids only (refrigerated pasta section)
5 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 Tablespoon Fresh Basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Oregano
a few twists of Black Pepper
Small fresh Mozzarella balls (12 nickle size, halved or equivalent (about 1/3 cup) in pearl size.
Preheat oven to 350. Saute onion till golden, set aside to cool. Mix all ingredients together. Spoon into a lightly greased (Pam non-stick spray works great for this) mini muffin tin.
These are great heated up in the regular or toaster oven. Make great appetizers, grab & go breakfast or lunch or dinner with a little salad.

I had to work last night because I absolutely refuse to work tonight. It's The Amazing Race finale. Phone is getting unplugged (no one bleed or anything) and there will be no computer (east coast watchers might spoil it for me). I'm making snacks. This is a BIG DEAL at my house... bigger than the Oscars. Go Jet & Cord!
It's also Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there. Mom's of human whipper snappers and Mom's of fuzzy creatures. I am blessed to have the BEST MUM IN THE WHOLE WORLD. She's my best friend.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Hug or call your Mom and if she has left this world to become your guardian angel do something she loved to do ♥
