garlic to taste
1/2 onion chopped
salt and pepper

crushed saltine crackers (about a 1/2 cup)
1 can tomato paste
mix all this together
put in loaf pan, smear a little bit of leftover tomato paste on top and crumbled crackers.

Starting Fresh

It's no secret I used to be an avid blogger. I used to blog daily, sometimes even multiple times a day. It's been about a year probably that I "quit" blogging. I really needed a break, to find myself again so to speak. I had forgotten why I started blogging in the first place, and was too focused on pleasing everyone else, making sure I posted daily to get my quota in etc. It had become a chore more than an outlet of feelings. So needless to say I needed the break. I didn't intend to stop, but I am so glad I did. It gave me the chance to form even better friendships in real life, it gave me more time with my family and I was able to focus on my two jobs, which have really helped us. I feel I am in a good place right now, and have noticed that I have really missed it. I certainly hope that I can come back into the blogosphere. So, I started this new blog. I am still in the process of setting up my profile, my site and trying to make it look purty. Please add me to your blogging lists, "follow" me on the follow button etc. It's been a while, so I feel a little bit green behind the ears. But I'm sure as I get going it will allllll come back to me. :)

Please leave comments! They make me want to post more. :)

Peace,

Valerie
