10. Snow Charming (Once Upon A Time Snow White and Prince Charming): Nobody can forget one of times most greatest love stories, not even if all memory of their love has been erased these two hearts can never forget the love they share. Mary-Margaret might not be Snow White and David isn’t the charming prince even use to be, but history will play out and they’ll find their happily ever after once more.

9. Ko (Big Time Rush Kendall and Jo): They might be young but it was more than a just a fling, and though they had to let each other go to chase their dreams they’ll never truly say goodbye.

8. Tiva (NCIS Tony and Ziva): These two have had sexual tension from their first meeting. After 8 years of working side by side together they have yet to make their feeling for one another clear, but even though the words are never said that doesn’t mean the passion isn’t there.

7. Chair (Gossip Girl Chuck and Blair): At first Blair hated herself for wanting Chuck and now she hates that they can’t be together. Whenever they get close the universe seems to pull them apart, although it could just be coincidence or faith’s way of saying they aren’t meant for each other.

2. Dastiel (Supernatural Dean and Cas): There friendship started out rocky but they became an unstopable pair. It was a partnership unlike the one Dean has with Sam and some people questioned if there’s was something more between them, but as Cas stated the two share a profound bond.

1. Dair (Gossip Girl Dan and Blair): Since the first season they have become known as the “possible but not likely” couple. Their sarcastic marks and opposite personalities have turned into simiarl taste and a lasting friendship. They care deeply for each other while being able to still be brutally honest; they could be a perfect couple.

Synopsis: The story of a mother and a son, and a relationship that covers a lifetime and beyond. It explores the question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one?

Source: Goodreads.com

I really like stories that have deeper messages to them and this story does. I never read a Mitch Albom novel before and I was presently surprise at how much I liked his righting style. The book was short and sweet; it was straight to the point and kept with the storyline, instead of adding pointless chapters of meaningless nonsense.

It was an interesting plot and the way he mixed the lead character past memories with his present day ones to show how each event led him to a suicide attempted was great. Not only are the readers drawn in by the present day story, but the past one as well. Also another nice thing about the story was how the whole book is set in a storytelling kind of way, which pretty cool since the whole plot is set in the future talking about the past.

I must say that unless you have a soft side then you wouldn’t like this book, because it such a touching story somewhat of a mother and grandmother read, however it could be the motherly impact of the that makes me gear the towards older women other than young adults. That being said if you are looking to read an action book or love story than I wouldn’t recommend this book, however if you want to read and emotionally well written novel I would say that “For One More Day” is the prefect read.

• Hungry Girl’s Cran-tastic Apple Cornbread Stuffing: Everyone knows that during the holiday’s turkey and there is no way to substitute the man attraction and why would you want? Somethings are must haves and turkey’s one of them. However stuffing is turkeys’ right-hand man but can be a lot of calories so instead of going for the fatting cornbread stuffing try a healthier yet just as satisfying option like “Hungry Girl’s Cran-tastic Apple Cornbread Stuffing.”

Recipe (Provided by Hungry-Girl.com)
Ingredients:
Cornbread
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tbsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
3/4 cup canned cream-style corn
1/3 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/3 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt (like Fage Total 0%)

Stuffing
1 large Fuji apple, cored and chopped
1 sweet onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1 tsp. chopped garlic
4 slices light bread
1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
2 cups fat-free chicken broth
1/2 tsp. dried sage
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Directions:
To make the cornbread, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine corn, egg substitute, and yogurt. Whisk thoroughly. Add mixture to the large bowl and stir until completely mixed. Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cornbread to cool completely. For speedier cooling, remove it from the pan once slightly cooled. To make the stuffing, set oven temperature to 350 degrees. Spray a 13″ X 9″ baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add apple, onion, celery, and garlic. Stirring often, cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. Lightly toast bread slices. Meanwhile, chop cranberries and add to the large bowl. Tear toasted bread into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl as well. Crumble cornbread into pieces and add to the bowl. Add broth and spices, and gently stir to combine. Transfer contents to the baking pan. Bake in the oven until firm, 35 – 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

• Hungry Girl’s Great Garlic Miracle Mashies: Another side dish that isn’t good for your diet is mashed potatoes. I must admit that I am a mashed potatoes lover but I don’t love the fact that they aren’t the most low in calories option at the dinner table. So, this Thanksgiving why don’t all you potato lovers, like myself, try these tasty “Great Garlic Miracle Mashies.”

Recipe (Provided by Hungry-Girl.com)
Ingredients:
1 head of garlic
1 tsp. olive oil
1 medium-sized russet potato (about 12 oz.)
5 cups cauliflower florets (about 1 head)
3 tbsp. fat-free half & half
2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)
1/2 tsp. salt, or more to taste
Optional: black pepper, chopped chives

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove papery outer layer from garlic, leaving skins around the cloves intact. Slice off the top of the garlic head, 1/4 – 1/2 inch, exposing the tops of the cloves. Place garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with oil, and use your fingers to coat. Wrap foil tightly around garlic, enclosing it completely. Place in a baking pan. Bake garlic in the oven for about 40 minutes, until soft enough to mash. Set aside to slightly cool.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove. While waiting for the water to boil, peel and cube the potato. Add potato and cauliflower to boiling water. Return to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium. Cook until potato and cauliflower are very tender, 15 – 20 minutes. Drain water and transfer potato and cauliflower to a large bowl; set aside. Once foil-wrapped garlic is cool enough to handle, unwrap garlic and remove cloves; discard skin. Add the soft cloves to the large bowl. To the bowl, add half & half, butter, and salt. Mash it all together with a potato masher, until completely blended.

• Hungry Girl’s Gooey-Good Fuji Apple Pie: Let’s face it no Thanksgiving dinner would be complete without pie! After slaving over a hot stove all week you deserve a little something sweet but instead of going for the classic “pumpkin pie” this year try making this yummy “Gooey-Good Fuji Apple Pie.”

Recipe (Provided by Hungry-Girl.com)
Ingredients:
Crust
1 cup Fiber One Original bran cereal??
2 sheets (8 crackers) low-fat honey graham crackers, broken into pieces??
3 tbsp. granulated white sugar?
1/4 tsp. cinnamon?
1/4 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)

Filling
6 – 8 Fuji apples (enough to yield 8 cups once sliced)
1/4 cup brown sugar (not packed)
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. granulated white sugar?
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
Optional topping: Fat Free Reddi-wip

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a deep-dish pie pan with nonstick spray and set aside. To make the crust, place cereal and graham cracker pieces in a blender or food processor, and grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add white sugar and cinnamon, mix well, and set aside. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine butter with 2 tbsp. water. Microwave for 15 seconds, or until just melted. Add to the medium bowl and stir contents until thoroughly mixed. Evenly distribute crust mixture along the bottom of the pie pan. Using your hands or a flat utensil, firmly press mixture into the edges and up along the sides of the pan to form the crust. Bake crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Set oven to 375 degrees. Peel, core, and thinly slice 8 cups’ worth of apples. Set aside.

In a large nonstick pot on the stove, combine all ingredients for the filling except apples and optional topping. Add 1 1/2 cups cold water and mix until ingredients have dissolved. Add apples and stir. Bring to medium-high heat and, stirring frequently, cook until liquid has thickened and apples have softened, 12 – 15 minutes. Carefully transfer filling to the crust in the pan, and smooth out the surface with the back of a spoon. Bake in the oven until apples are very tender, 20 – 25 minutes. Allow pie to cool and set completely. Cut into 8 slices and, if you like, top each serving with a generous squirt of Reddi-wip. Enjoy!
