The last time I made breakfast pizza, it was on a week day, so Tony didn’t get any!  He doesn’t like breakfast first thing in the morning like me, so today was the perfect day to have him try it – he likes it! This time I only ate 3/4 of it, so my breakfast comes in around 340 calories, 14 fat, 39 carbs, 17...

Wow, I thought tonight would never get here!  I don’t know what it is about Friday afternoon workdays, but it almost seems as if the clock is going in reverse! Breakfast was 1/2 a multi-grain bagel with 1 egg and an ounce of cheese – this bagel is from Panera and I love the oats on the outside! With a slice of watermelon on the...

My friend and I went to the farmers market, and happily the cheese lady stand was open, but I have never met a more unenthusiastic person in my life!  After we bought our cheese and walked away, I said “that’s it, I am banning the cheese lady!”  Until I tasted the low fat havarti with basil – to die for! My opinion is that its probably...

My friend and I decided to hit up the Farmers Market this afternoon, so I had to run to the store to get some cash.  They moved my Chase bank to the other side of town, so I decided to see if I could accessorize my lunch and get cash back. I hit the jackpot!  Look at the chips I got! But the best thing...

Do you ever wake up with a certain craving that you just have to give in to??  Usually its bacon wrapped deep fried hot dogs (I am not kidding, we are probably going to try it this weekend – we saw it on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives and we can’t shake it!) But this morning I felt like . . . .FRUIT!   So I gave...

My plan was to make a cauliflower gratin as my side dish, but I had SLIM pickens for cheese – I need to fix that pronto!!   I was on tastespotting, and saw someone made fried zucchini, and I was sold.  I did use whole wheat bread crumbs though! 😀 I had to laugh when I saw a comment on my previous post about colored pens...

I love lasagnas because you can really use up about any vegetable you have!   Here is my recipe for this one – could not be easier! 1 cup cooked spinach quinoa!  nice catch Gina! 1 cup marinara sauce 1 zucchini (mine was grilled from last night so it had a nice smokiness!) 1 cup baby spinach 1 cup 4% cottage cheese mixed with Italian seasoning...

Tony and I were commenting that last night was the perfect night – right temperature, no wind, no bugs.  If we could find a place that is like last night all the time, I am pretty sure we’d move in a heartbeat! We decided to do the wings on the grill – Tony added applewood chips to the grill – it gave the wings such...

Dear Biggest Diabetic Loser readers, First of all, I want to thank all of you for being so supportive and happy for me 🙂 I just wanted to take a moment to thank my mom, considering all of the really nice comments she made about me earlier. Losing weight of course isn’t easy, but with the incredible amount of support I get from her, it’s...
