If your looing for something to do one evening, take a stroll Downtown Fredericksburg, VA. The old town shops have wonderful displays of Christmas decorated windows.
My husband and I took a stroll Wednesday evening, taking advantage of the beautiful weather. It's a cheap date night if you are stretching your dollars.
BTW, they are having a contest WINDOW WONDERLAND, so gather your family, solve the riddle, and enter your responses PLUS the top three favorite decorated storefronts and you could win $1,000 CASH or one of many other prizes totaling over $3,000! http://www.visitfred.com/window-wonderland
If you don't live in the area, take advantage of your small town. They would love your support this holiday season and during the year.
Enjoy a few of the windows I photographed, maybe this will spur you on for a stroll this Christmas.

Review for Designer Whey Protein Powder
This is the product we chose to review for various reasons but mainly to be able to add more protein to the diet!
NOTE: 2 out of the 3 sisters got the assignment right --- just sayin' !!!

Protein Powder

18g protein 2g sugar+calcium , vitamin D and B-vitamins
Review #1 (Cathy)
I chose to keep with the holiday theme with vanilla flavor and made --
Simple Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
The recipe can be found on Picky Palate
http://picky-palate.com/2013/09/20/simple-pumpkin-pie-smoothie/
Easy as pie !! Put all ingredients in the smoothie maker , blend and pour !!
I tasted it before and after I added the protein powder.
Cathy's opinion on Designer Whey protein powder ----
I think this particular flavor is fine. Make sure you add it to something with matching flavor or when vanilla compliments it.
Easy to use , dissolves quickly and very slight difference in the taste after I added the powder. I would have never known if someone else had made it and didn't bother to tell me!
I am going to purchase more because it is so easy to use and will make smoothies healthier !!
Thanks ,
Cathy

Review #2 (Kelly)
http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/spinach-shake
Had to make a few changes since I didn't have almond milk.I used lactose free milk and added a handful of almonds.Tried it without the protein powder and it was ok, not a lot of flavor but creamy.Added the vanilla whey protein powder and it was much better. It gave the smoothie that vanilla taste and it turned out creamier. Also you could taste the peanut butter better with the powder.I'd drink it again.Thanks,
Kelly <><
Ingredients:
This
smoothie was easy and very good. I
thought maybe it would taste like banana or orange juice. I could taste the just a little of the orange
juice and none of the banana. I think it
could be better if made during strawberry season when the real flavor of the
strawberries would come through.
One
criticism would be: I made what the
recipe said for 2 people. It was enough
for 4 people.
I was given some protein powder by Cathy and she said to
make the smoothie by the recipe first then add the protein powder. Not
realizing the importance of that statement, I cho se to forgo the protein
powder. Then she tells me we were
suppose to be reviewing the protein powder.
I did not get that from our conversation. Oh well.
The protein powder
would make it a meal. Drink up.

An Idea for a Party !!
I ( Cathy ) am going to make this for our Christmas party !! Of course, I will adjust it to what I can get -- probably have to do something a little different but should turn out great !! Looks yummy !!!
Ingredients:
10 cocktail sticks
10 cubes of fresh (not tinned) pineapple
1 heaped tablespoon soft, dark brown sugar
1 tsp unsalted butter
70g pack Parma ham
approx. 100g good Cheddar, cut into 10 cubes
Method
Toss the pineapple cubes in the sugar and set to one side. Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, and gently fry the pineapple pieces for about one minute, until the sugar has caramelised and the pineapple is golden. Thread the pineapple cubes onto a cocktail stick, followed by a twist of ham and then finish with a cube of the cheese.

Cathy Reviews --- When Pigs Fly -- the unique boutique
The Sassy Silver Sisters had an opportunity to visit the coolest shop in Fredericksburg after we had our traditional birthday lunch.
When Pigs Fly
(The name is even cool)
Very interesting and welcomed by the owner, Janese.
She was gracious enough to stop her work to answer our many questions.
Furniture and many other items painted up to be colorful and fun.
She offers classes as well -- so check her out and let her know what you are interested in.
I will visit this shop again !!
thanks,
Cathy
