I almost had another disaster for pizza party Friday!   You’ll see what I mean in a minute! Breakfast was not photographed, because my battery was charging – it was my classic egg sammie!   Since I didn’t grocery shop and there were slim pickins, I did not bring a lunch for work.  I decided on Jimmy John’s – I got the Vito on whole wheat thinking...

I had a date with my Mom tonight.  We saw Julie & Julia at the high end movie theater that my step-son Joe works at.  For $44 you got the ticket, two drink coupons, two course dinner, cooking demonstration and a Julie & Julia apron!  Good deal right?! Seriously, how can beat sitting in the most comfortable chair, and then pressing a button when you...

I suggest you grab a cup of coffee, pour yourself a glass of wine, because this is going to be a long post!  That’s what you get when I only post once a day now! Since Hannah starts school next week, she’s trying to get up at the time she needs to get ready for school, so we were up and ready to hit the...

I had to stop by a Toys R Us tonight for a baby shower at my office, and wouldn’t you know that our favorite sushi place is right by there!  But first I got to work and my boss brought this back from her vacation – althought it has rattlesnack stew in it, it does have some interesting recipes for buttermilk biscuits that look really...

My friend Cassie at work said late this afternoon “I am so lost, I don’t know what you had for breakfast!”   While this seems a bit unusual just to post once, I think I am going to like it! Breakfast was spicy oats with bacon and a fried egg – those farm fresh eggs really taste so much better to me!  Breakfast comes in at...

Believe it or not, starting today I am only going to post once a day! Work is picking up and while I could spend my lunch hour blogging (and reading your blogs!) I have to get my exercise in. 😀 Come back nightly for an update of my eats! See you tonight! 😀

We had such a nice afternoon and happily everything turned out really good.  Except I almost burned the bread!  The directions said to cook for 35 minutes and here’s how it looked at 25! I am not going to post this recipe – it still needs tweaking! My side dishes: Asian Cucumber Salad 2 cups thin sliced cucumbers 1 tsp. salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1...

Since I did most of the prep work yesterday, all I had to do today was make the marshmallows and the rosemary sea salt bread.  But first I started my day with a mini egg sammie – with Frank’s hot sauce in my eggs! Hannah loves my homemade marshmallows – I use the Food Network recipe and it works like a charm.  It only takes...

We used to have DirectTV, which meant that we got EVERY football game no matter who was playing!  But when my PIL bought us a HD t.v. last Christmas, we decided to upgrade to DirectTV high definition.  Um, turns out the installer took one foot out of the his truck, walked about 20 seconds around the house and said, “it won’t work where you live”...

I swear whenever Tony and I watch Diners, Drive-Ins and Dive’s something invariably sticks with us, hence the bacon wrapped deep fat fried hot dog.  We’ve not been able to shake the jones, so we dove in at lunch today.  I had the smaller hot dog – Tony’s was about an ounce bigger. Lunch comes in at560 calories, 35 fat, 16 protein, 44 carbs and...
