A M A Z I N G!  I cannot believe how good these Reuben egg rolls are!  Simple ingredients and the nutrition isn’t too bad either.  Each egg roll comes in at 175 calories, 4.8 fat, 21 carbs, .75 fiber and 11 protein.  4.5 ounces swiss lorraine cheese, low fat 6 ounces lean corned beef 1 cup sauerkraut 2.5 tablespoons thousand island dressing 8 wonton...

It was a lazy morning!  I decided to make hashbrowns from scratch – they always take so long, but so good!  I had 1 egg, 1 slice of well done bacon and 3.5 ounces of hashbrowns.  I only used about 1/2 teaspoon of oil and the rest was Pam. Then Tony brought me a piece of his breakfast – his eggs are always so good.  it...

Oh my gosh, last nights crab was so good!  But first, we finally got our wood delivered – TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATE!  She just drove the truck in our drive and dumped it and left. Hannah was up for the challenge and actually stacked ALL the wood herself!  Here is her lumberjack face: All done! While she was working, Tony and I split a...

To take a picture of my lunch.  I had it all set up, went to get the camera, remembered I hadn’t taken my insulin yet, and then completely forgot!  Since we are still waiting for the wood to show up, we sent Hannah on a lunch run.  Tony got hot dogs, Hannah and I split a plain gyros, and we all split one large fry....

I woke up this morning craving pumpkin pancakes, and I don’t even know if I’ve ever made them before.  I asked Tony if he would like some:  “No!”  I asked Hannah if she would eat some: “Yes!”  So it was two against one!  I should preface to say Tony rarely eats breakfast! But before I get to the recipe and pics, Tony WON again in...

Once again, in an attempt to trick Tony that tonight is not again Pizza Party Friday, I decided to make Mexican Pizza! With the leftovers from the refried beans and taco meat, a delicious pizza was born! The first layer?  A mixture of 1/2 can fat free refried beans with a half can of enchilada sauce: The rest of the ingredients – except no jalapenos...

It was again 50 degrees this morning, so Ed and I took another 30 minute walk.  We got almost to the river when he spotted the ducks!  He scared them away though! Then I came home and enjoyed more peppermint coffee, thanks to Hannah! Breakfast was oats, water, 3 oz. diced apple and a couple tablespoons of granola.  The only thing I don’t like about...

I have been out of these for the longest time!  Now I have a years months supply! Taco night – dinner was quick because Hannah had fall follies dress rehearsal – out of the 2000 kids that go to Hannah’s school, 450 are involved in fall follies – its a big musical extravaganza – so well put together!  They have four performances next week. So...

I once had a boss that had all these motivational signs framed all over his office.  Today my friend showed me this website – I had to get a kick out of this one! It actually made me laugh out loud!  Anywho, lunch part II – AND THE MYSTERY SOUP WAS (drum roll please . . . SPLIT PEA WITH HAM!   Now you would think the...

Okay I RARELY buy these prepackaged meals, but the store by me is going through a complete makeover and EVERYTHING is on sale.  This caught my eye, as did the price – $1.25!  Since I ate breakfast so early, by 11:30 I was starving, so decided to heat this up and then save my mystery soup for later in the day.  The verdict?  It actually...
