Mel over at A Taste of Life has dubbed me a “cool mom!”  She and her significant other “J” sent me a package of yummies!  And then they gave me seasoned peanuts – I opened the lime and salt ones immediately – SO GOOD! So at Aldi yesterday, I wondered over to the cheeses, and I found this interesting one: So I knew that somehow this would...

My daughter is the bread lover in our family.  Wait, I take that back.  We are the bread lovers of our family!  While Tony can low carb and not touch a piece of bread for months, Hannah and I immediately go through withdrawal if we don’t get our fix.  You can’t get much easier than this.   This recipe is from “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a...

So just when the dirty snow starts to melt, Mother Nature decided that we needed another deep freeze this weekend!  The air temp is 8 degrees and with the wind, well below zero. But I had a sunny breakfast!   1/2 Sara Lee whole wheat bagel with a schmere of smart balance, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of peppers, 1/2 ounce Mexican cheese and 3 ounces of...

So even though I loved last Friday nights  pizza combo I decided to go back to the classic – pepperoni, sausage, and red and green peppers.  It did not disappoint! 4 ounce no rise pizza dough 1 ounce Jimmy dean sausage (raw – it cookes in the oven) 2 ounces red and green pepper 1/2 oz chopped pepperoni 2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese Tabasco as a...

So I picked up Hannah and we went to her friends wake.  Now I’ve been to wakes and funerals  where it is Great Uncle Bob who died in his sleep at the age of 98.  The mourners gather around and tell jokes about how he liked to fish and that he always had his trusty pocket knife in his pocket at all times.  Then toast him...

Not only is stirfry quick and easy, its a great way to get rid of the veggies in your fridge at the end of the week!   I love the pan my office has that I use – the lid has a little hole in to vent and I like that its glass and I don’t have to lift the lid!  Then I lift the lid,...

I was running a bit late this morning, and while I had made my lunch the night before, I didn’t make a breakfast.  I knew I had a $1 off coupon for the new flatbread sandwiches and decided to give it a shot.  First off, I ordered the Turkey sausage flatbread, and when I got to work I realized that they gave me the veggie...

I was going to make Chicken Parmesan tonight since I didn’t make it last night, but decided to shake things up and I made chicken tostadas.  We hadn’t had Mexican in a while so it hit the spot.  I tried a new tostada – Old El Paso brand.  I was a bit worried buying them in a box for fear that they would all be...

Lunch today was the second half of a whole wheat bagel, 2 ounces of buffalo deli turkey, .75 ounce slice of pepper jack cheese, one cup of my taco soup, and apples with cinnamon and splenda.  Yum!  Can you tell I love cheese?? So since the cable guy was in our driveway when I got home last night, I didn’t pull the car into the...
