Is your New Year's Resolution losing weight?
I have recently embarked on a new journey - losing weight without the cravings. I have recently discovered the "Let's Do Lunch" way of eating - eating foods that decrease your cravings for foods that cause you to gain and retain weight. You can read more about this plan and purchase the book directly from author Roger Troy Wilson here: LET'S DO LUNCH

Five Minute Coffee Mug Cake
4 tablespoons self-rising flour
4 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips (if desired)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
Add all dry ingredients (except chips) to the mug and mix well with a fork. Add the egg, mix VERY well. Add the milk & oil & vanilla extract, mix well. Fold in chocolate chips (if using them).
Put mug in the center of your microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high (1000 watts). Cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed, this is normal and it will go back down.
Allow to cool a few minutes and enjoy. Top with icing or chocolate syrup if desired. You can dump it out onto a plate or in a bowl if you like. This makes enough for two people or one big generous serving for you!

Homemade Plum Wine
We found a huge amount of wild plums this fall and after filling my cabinets with wild plum jelly, I used some more by starting a batch of this wine. The recipe calls for regular plums, but it appears to be working well with wild plums.
Easy Plum Wine
3 1/2 pounds ripe plums
4 pounds granulated sugar
1 package yeast
1 gallon boiling water
Wash plums and pour on boiling water. Stir and mash with wooden spoon. Leave for ten days. Remove mold carefully. Strain off into another bowl and add sugar, yeast and stir. Cover and stir daily for three days. Bottle and store - ready in six months, better after nine!

Homemade Grape Wine
I've got a batch in the crock right now - here's the recipe for anyone who would like to try some.
Homemade Grape Wine
3 pounds black grapes
3 pounds sugar
1 ounce yeast
1 gallon water
Crush grapes by hand and set aside in the fermenting vessel. Bring the water to boiling point and pout in sugar. When the water reaches boiling point again and the sugar is dissolved, but off heat and pour sugar liquid over grapes. Allow mixture to cool, sprinkle yeast on top. Stir in, cover with plastic wrap tied in place with a string. Ferment 14 days, strain and bottle.
