Here at City Creek we are not only providing you with healthy mortgages but promoting a healthy YOU as well. Enjoy this little story and recipe from my wonderful wife Tobi. I certainly enjoyed it, then and now!

“Recently, I asked Mike what he would really love for dinner and my heart sank when he answered, “that stuffed Manicotti you made 17 years ago in our first apartment.” All I remember of that meal was sitting on the kitchen floor in a puddle of tears surrounded by manicotti noodles drying out on every possible square inch of counters, floors and appliances. It was a four-hour disaster which resulted in soupy sauce, crusty noodles and a sweet husband who pretended to love it all. I was determined not to be a two-time loser and I am proud to say that I have found a fool proof, amazing manicotti recipe that your family will love. I also doubled the recipe and froze a dinner for later. Enjoy! ” - Tobi Roberts

40 days is an interesting timeframe. Making a sacrifice or taking on a good discipline for a 40 day period could be a very healthy thing for you. If you are Roman Catholic, or happen to live in New Orleans, you probably know where I am going with this.

Today is Fat Tuesday. You may know it by the French translation, Mardi Gras.

I must say that I am not a fan of what this particular day represents. It is essentially a day to live it up and involve yoruself in all of the immoral, unethical, undisciplined behavior you can so that starting tomorrow you can live some other reality for 40 days. That seems counterintuitive to me, but hey, it’s tradition, what can you do?
