Campfire Cookin': Healthy Cowgirl Salad...

This is a great lunch, especially when I am trying to slim down for competition without cutting out essential vitamins and minerals. This salad will fill you up and keep you on track for a skinnier waste line.

Tear up 3-4 leafs of green leaf lettuce
( I prefer it over iceberg, plus
 it is much healthier for you!)

Chop up and add carrots, apples,
almonds and craisins

Dice up some sweet potato and put on a 

plate in the microwave for 2-3 mins then place

 on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown, 

flip  pieces and repeat broiling.

or put on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees 

for about 5 mins, until they are cooked through,

then broil until browned (on both sides).

Let sweet potatoes cool or eat warm on the salad and

 sprinkle on some cubed cheese or add some 

cooked chicken breast pieces, or lunch meat for a healthy 

lunch full of vitamins, mineral, protein, 

and antioxidants! 

Add your favorite dressings, I use a small amount of light balsamic or Asian dressing on mine. If you are watching your weight pay attention to the fat content and calories in salad dressings!

A Picture Worth A Thousand Words: Beautiful Pride...

It's Good to be a horse :) pic by me.

This was a stud of mine. I sold him to a member of the Posse so that we could by our Dodge Truck.
His name is Navahos Lucky Chief....can't you just hear the distant Native American chants as you look at this photo? The expression on his face has a relaxing appeal to it. I can hear the raspy call of a red tailed hawk, as it circles over head...bringing a good omen to this peaceful summer day. In actuality this photo was taken in the pasture two summers ago...but the vague background, or maybe I should say lack of one helps for the imagination to run wild, like the spirit of this young stallion in the photo.

Life on the S17 Ranch: Big ol' Bulls

Hey Bully, bully....This was the bull we leased from a good friend of ours who is a fellow bucking bull
breeder. His program is much more developed. I would tell you this bulls name, but I was sworn
to secrecy at this time. That's how exclusive the breeding is....TOP SECRET :) He will be the sire to 
our 2012 calf crop, we can't wait to see what he produces.

I'll post more later, There is a chance that my gelding will be here tonight!!! Most likely tomorrow sometime :)
