I am working through lunch, just taking a break to actually shovel the food into my mouth, which is a shame to eat so fast because it is delicious! 3 ounces cooked shrimp (cooked with 1/2 tsp. taco seasoning) 3 ounces sauteed green peppers 1 slice of provolone (split between 2 tacos) fresh cilantro lime juice cucumbers carrots light jalapeno ranch dressing These were so...

While not a huge fan of yellow apples plain, I love them sauteed in just a smidge of butter and cinnamon and splenda.  This morning I cut up two tiny apples and sauteed them while I put the rest of my breakfast and lunch together. On the side was an egg/ham/cheese taco! Breakfast comes in at 299 calories, 10 fat, 15 protein, 35 carbs and...

Yet another busy day at work – only 4 more to go! 😀  I don’t mind because the work day feels like its 5 minutes long and that much faster so I can come home and cook! Before I get on to our good eats, guess what I found at my desk this morning?? My friend Renee and her husband Mark got me this Thermos...

Weekends go by way too fast – I think we should always have a three day weekend!! Last night I ended up making homemade whole wheat pitas – they could not have been easier since I let my food processor do all the work.  The recipe will be posted with dinner tonight – as we are having beef kabobs with tzatziki sauce on pitas. I decided...

Sticky wings are amazing! This weeks menu plan was done on a whim and based on what was on sale – so chicken wings it is again!  I routinely forget that I only cook for a family of three – and Hannah ended up eating a chicken sausage, so I believe I made a bit too many! I ended up eating three wings and about...

I love when there is leftover steak, because that means I get to fix a steak omelet!  I diced up 2 ounces of steak and just heated it up just enough to get the chill of the fridge off – I still want it pretty rare.

Dinner was New York strips on the grill.  Doing a quick youtube.com search, I discovered that you could grill garlic scapes whole and it brings out a mild garlic flavor – who doesn’t love garlic??  I was in! Our verdict??  Not so much!  They were still tough – maybe I should have cooked them longer??  While they had a slight garlic flavor, it almost tasted...

It still seems like slim pickins at the CSA, but with all the cool weather, I guess I can’t complain too much – I just hope I get boat loads of tomatoes and zucchini in August! broccoli snap peas kale rhubarb kohlrabi salad greens garlic scapes 1/2 dozen organic eggs Tony loves strawberry rhubarb pie, but I am going to try to create a sugar...

I had one item from my CSA box last week that I hadn’t done anything with – the Kohlrabi!  I decided I would make Kohlrabi hashbrowns! View Full Album Once I peeled it, I ended up shredding it in my food processor – I got 20 ounces of shredded Kolhrabi. 20 ounce kohlrabi 2 eggs, beaten 2 tablespoons whole wheat bread crumbs salt and pepper...

Wow, after this week, I am SO glad its Friday!  Although I like to be busy, I don’t like being totally busy day after day after day!  Oh well. one more week of being in the weeds and then I think things will go back to steady busy! I got up to work out, but I was too sore!  I had like this charlie horse...
