Angie Windheim

Some of you are probably wondering why I keep writing articles and sending you to www.ehow.com.  It’s no secret that I’m a journalist by trade and I love to write. By using some of that energy to place articles on eHow, I can potentially make a little money doing it. It’s an experiment for now. So far, I’m just having fun with it. No major mogul dollars coming in 🙂  But, if my blog readers start visiting my articles, leaving comments and rating them (hopefully with 5 stars!) then who knows what will happen.  I’ll be sure to let you know.  So follow the links when it suits you and I’d love see/hear what you think. Or, if you have any article idea, let me know that too. Or, if you decide to write something, let me know and I’ll go take a look.

Many have asked and now I’m sharing my famous artichoke dip with the masses. Enjoy!

Time to rev up my engines and get back on the road to weight loss. I took a pretty long break after losing 20 pounds. I’m going for another 10 pounds now. My key tools are the Lose It! application for my iPhone and Netflix DVDs. I did a Jillian Michaels DVD this morning. That is a butt-kicking 45 minutes. Ouch!  I wrote an article recently about using technology to help with weight loss and I’m following my own advice 🙂

I have a lot of fun each year coming up with ideas for Christmas card photos. I like them to be a little different, a little creative.  You can read more at eHow.

Here’s an excerpt from my latest eHow article: Time after time I hear my fellow moms express their exasperation that their kids don’t talk to them. Kids often grunt, shrug, or mumble the word “fine,” but they don’t really communicate. We all want our kids to be able to talk to us about anything and everything. We want them to want to share their troubles, their triumphs, their e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. I am one of the fortunate moms that can honestly say my boys won’t shut up. It is something I treasure and can share some practices that could make it happen for you.

I’ve been making my own version of an African peanut soup for years. It’s easy and so yummy and now I’m sharing the secret…

It may sound silly, but I’ve gotten a lot of praise for my bean dip. My family absolutely LOVES it.   I almost decided not to share it, but, hey, it’s better to spread the joy 🙂  I’ve posted the recipe on eHow. Give it a try!
