Cleveland APL Pets

Sampson is calm, cool and waiting for a home.

Here’s some other adorable pets waiting for their second chance at life at the Cleveland APL this week!

Low Fat Lobster Bisque and Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits

We met some friend for dinner a couple of weeks ago at Bravo in Fairlawn.  My salad came with soup so I chose lobster bisque, knowing full well it was a BAZILLION WW points.  I had one taste of it and gave it to my husband.  My friend Kelley said, “Why don’t you come up with a low cal/low fat lobster bisque?”  I gotta tell ya, you would never know the difference.  Try it! 

Looking For The Dog Of Your Dreams?

This dog has the cutest darn smile!

The dog of your dreams just may be at the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter.  Take a look at this week’s video and you may find your new best friend!

What’s New At The Cleveland APL This Week?

This beauty came from an abusive home, but I tend to think she doesn’t remember because she’s so gentle and smart!  Molly Callahan from the APL tells the story of Diamond and she introduces us to a shy little 2 year old cat named Tiger who’s been at the shelter since September!  I’ll take you all through the shelter to show you what’s new this week.

Guilt Free Red Velvet Cupcakes

These red velvet cupcakes are so good and they’re only 4 points each on Weight Watchers!!!  My husband won’t let me take them out of the house!

A Visit To The Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter

Benny, a young Great Dane waiting for  a home.

I took my Bloggie video cam to the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter this morning to bring you some adorable dogs.  Please take a look and true love could be in the cards this Valentines Day!

Baked Jalepeno Poppers

That’s right, I said “baked”.  I love jalepeno poppers, but that deep fried bar food is just not for me anymore.  It’s not that I don’t love them, it’s that post 50 lifestyle change.  Here’s a healthier version of that recipe for you and we loved them.  Just like the onion ring recipe on an earlier blog, you’d never know it wasn’t deep fried!  That’s what we had watching the Cavs game tonight.

Recycle What’s In Your Closet

Being unemployed leaves me with lots of time on my hands.  I took the advice of my friend Joe Cronauer and make a list of “things I need to do”.  The exception is things I need to do around the house and I must tell you, I am getting organized.  I cleaned out my scarf drawer, took some to the consignment shop, some to Goodwill and this one I saved for a table runner.  I think it looks pretty snazzy, huh?

Check Your Dog Treat Label!!!!!
