For breakfast this morning I decided to do a side by side taste testing of the organic eggs I got yesterday vs. store bought eggs.  I decided a simple scramble of each with a dash of salt and pepper would be a good comparison. Obviously the one on the left is the organic egg, although Tony’s theory is this CSA guy just bought them from...

I got up to get some water this morning and I heard my phone beeping, it was Hannah!  We pick her up today from her vacation – she’s had a wonderful time and I can’t wait to see her.  She doesn’t have good phone reception in the mountains, so we’ve just been texting a few times this last week – I think its the longest...

Not quite sure what to say about the CSA, other than its kinda funky!      First of all, Tony and I drive up, and we are the only ones there – no customers, no owners – I questioned myself on if I had the right day or not!  But the owner came out, told us to come around back and gave us a box...

I love pepper jack cheese!   Has to be one of my top three cheeses of all time.  Here’s a kitchen tip:  since we got a new coffee pot, my old coffee filters aren’t needed and I had about 400 left!  So now I use them with my food scale – the side hold everything in and it makes it easier to shred the right amount...

But the weather turned out really good – this afternoon the clouds rolled away and it was a beautiful night – and Tony came to the game!   A couple on our team have a 7 month old, and usually one of them sits out while the other one plays.  Unfortunately we needed them both tonight so at times Tony was the babysitter – she was...

It’s been so cold in our office the last few days, I don’t mind having soup for lunch!  I brought in two cups of my South Beach Taco Soup. Lunch is 374 calories, 14 fat, 31 protein, 30 carbs and 8 fiber. I ended up bringing the rest of the leftovers for my co-workers husband – he apparently likes my food!  I am supposed to...

When I was putting my breakfast and lunch together this morning, I just couldn’t imagine having eggs again, so I made a sandwich!  Note to self: coffee and a sandwich do not go well together! Did you have a parent or grand parent that would order a coffee at a fast food restaurant with their burger?  My Grammy definitely did and I think Tony’s mom...

OMG, dinner was amazing.  The service, the food, the ambiance – well, it was a quiet Thursday night, but we got a booth, which I love – I’ve always hated tables in the middle of the dining room – I’ve learned that once I go to a restaurant, what the best tables are, and then request them the next time we go. It was dimly...

I don’t know what I was smoking when I picked this package up – I had a recollection that these were low cal AND low fat! So what I thought was going to be a low cal lunch turned out to be: 512 calories 20 fat 40 protein 43 carbs (!) 12 fiber I always forget how many carbs are in spaghetti squash – so...

I was lucky that Tony didn’t finish all of his steak last night, so I decided to make an egg/steak/cheese wrap.  I only used 1/2 ounce of cheese, but I sprinkled it over the whole wrap and nuked it for about 30 seconds, so every bite was cheezy! 😀 Breakfast comes in at 455 calories, 24 fat, 50 protein (!), 20 carbs and 14 grams...
