We indulged in all kinds of delish eats...
including the following:
Toffee Apple Dip~8 oz. cream cheese, softened
~8 oz. toffee bits
~3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
~1/2 cup granulated sugar
~1 tsp. vanilla extract
~6 large apples
Stir first six ingredients together in sauce pan over medium heat. Allow to cool. Dip apples (or slices) into mixture. Set aside until the dip sets up. Also works great with pears.
Sweet Pumpkin Dip~2 cups confectioners sugar
~8 oz. cream cheese, softened
~15 oz. pumpkin pie filling
~1 tsp. ground cinnamon
~1/2 tsp. ground ginger
Combine sugar and cream cheese until well blended. Beat in remaining ingredients. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
Serve with gingersnaps. Yummy!
FIT TIP (#50): Great Strides...five ways to get more out of your walks:
-1-Bend your elbows. Your arms will swing faster, helping your legs to move faster.
-2-Keep your stride short. Don't take long strides that feel awkward.
-3-Think heal-to-toe. Push-off with your heal. Toes should leave the ground last.
-4-Keep your abs pulled in and tight.
-5-Include interval training. Incorporate periods of very brisk walking followed by slower, recovery times.

Yummy!
We had such a fun time!! Still need to try the pumpkin dip!
yumm yumms! so glad you guys had a fun time!! love you!!!
i like the "take small strides" part, sometimes i hurt my knees when i walk too fast. also something i try to focus on while i walk is, looking forward and having my gaze up and out. i find it to be the best way for me to take in all the beauty while im walking, instead of looking down at the asphalt.
Yummy treat tips and walking tips I can't wait to try!
Thanks!
That apple dip was so yummy!! Thanks again for having me :)
Thomas is having me make the dip up today! Can't wait!
