Stuffed chicken that is!  I got this recipe off of www.recipezaar.com (Recipe #171805 if you want to look it up). 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (just for me but I forgot!) 2 ounces muenster or Swiss cheese 2 ounces deli ham 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon Italian seasonings 1 tablespoon olive oil...

Stuffed zucchini is what I have for lunch today. When my family looked at it last night, they thought it looked gross. But it is SO GOOD! I stuffed it with 3 ounces of leftover hamburger from last night, put about 4 ounces of marinara sauce and 1 ounce of fresh mozzarella on top and baked at 375 for 35 minutes. Reheated at work for...

Ed was sniffing up a storm on our walk this morning.  The only way I could get him to stop was to hold his leash really short.  We had a nice walk though, until we scared the ducks! I love this sign near our neighborhood.  I guess people drove too fast on his street and they got fed up! Breakfast: 1/3 cup oats 1/3 cup...

but it feels like summer!  The mosquitos were out because of all the rain we had, it was warm.  And we had fresh corn on the cob from a roadside stand so that screamed easy BBQ. I made two half pound burgers and two quarter pound burgers.  Mine was: hamburger bun 1/4 pound burger 1/2 ounce mozzarella cheese 1 slice american cheese pickles corn on...

We had leftover crab from our fondue fest.  I ended up making Maryland style crab cakes.  I had to adjust the recipe to the amount of crab I had left. 5 ounces crabmeat 1 ounce bread crumbs 1 egg 1 tablespoon light mayo dash Old Bay Seasoning salt and pepper to taste dash of worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard Mix together eggs, mayo, Old...

Another beautiful day, although not as cool as I would like.  It was about 60 degrees and its supposed to be around 80 – where is my fall weather??!!  Ed liked the walk though!    This morning is blueberry banana oatmeal with flax seed. 1/3 cup hemp milk 1/3 cup water 1/3 cup oats 1 ounce blueberry 1 ounce banana 1 tsp. crunchy peanut butter...

The range of calories in sushi or Jananese food in general is all over the map.  Whenever I used to look calories up, I of course took the lowest calorie item!  Tonight, I think I guessed on the high side, but still came in around 1400 calories for the day.  And Joe came and met us for dinner – thanks Joe! My daughter and I...

are two things I can never cook.  You would think I would have given up by now, but no, I keep trying!  The only time the scalloped potatoes worked out was when my mom was over, instructing me step by step.  I’ve tried making it the same way without her, and its just not the same. But I had red lentils in my pantry and...

Today is my husband’s birthday – happy birthday sweets! I didn’t think I would be hungry after the fondue party last night, but around 7:30 I got hungry! I toasted one of the homemade tortillas – so good that way!  And made another tostada with a side of taco soup: At the store I finally found the Arnold Sandwich Thins.  For two slices, its 100...

The fondue was wonderful!  We just did the cheese course and oil course because I made a carrot cake with honey cinnamon frosting for the bday boy.  I am not going to post the recipe because it is full metal jacket – 1.5 cups of oil and 2 cups of sugar!  We are going to have that later.  Before and after frosting: I normally buy...
