I was spoiled last weekend having a four day weekend, so it felt like this weekend just flew by a little too quick!  Tony started out my day with a delicious omelet with a high fiber English muffin.  Tony makes the best eggs – thanks honey!  (The green is fresh basil – wonderful touch!) So Twinfest was great.  It’s hard to believe we have known...

Anna at London Foodie in New York is hosting this week’s BSI – chocolate! I almost wasn’t going to submit anything, because being diabetic, chocolate is pretty low on my list of ingredients I use on a daily basis!  But then I started thinking, and I decided to make something to give away!  And since the holidays will be here before you know it, its...

After Hannah left for work, I started to think about what to fix for breakfast when the words “How about Mama Rini’s?” spilled out of Tony’s mouth.  I believe I was ready to go in about 5 minutes!  I love diner restaurants, the staff is usually really friendly, and we’ve been so many times they recognize us now! The only bad part is they tend...

I had to be at work at 7:00 a.m. yesterday and I didn’t get home until 8:30 p.m.!  My eats were all messed up because of my work schedule, but all in all I don’t think I did too bad.  I kind of spread my breakfast out – first stop – a Special K bar with coffee.  I really liked this one! Then someone from...

FOOTBALL!  It’s official, I am a football widow beginning tonight.  So I am sure if I have any regular readers, you know I think about food, read food magazines, dream of what I am going to make for dinner after I’ve eaten lunch – well I think that Tony loves football more than I love cooking!  Now that’s saying a lot! He loves it though...

Thank God my husband is handy, because I really have relied on him over the years to fix things, because that’s what he does!  And he’s good at it.  I got a call from Hannah while I was at work, right when my boss and I were filing documents online for a deadline!  I called Tony, who was also on a business call.  I told...

30 minute shred – Level 3!  OMG, its been too long and it was really hard.  But I stuck with it!  Dinner was quick to put together tonight, so I knew I’d have time and I was right – after getting home, doing shred and fixing dinner – we were eating by 6:15! I started out the day with spicy oats – 1/2 cup oats...

We had just the best weather today!  Still, no wind, although the sweat bees were trying their hardest to get into our gazebo!  I am pretty sure we killed at least three!  I don’t like bees, never have.  And I am pretty sure I’ve only been stung once, as a child, running barefoot in my grandparents backyard, so I am not sure where I obtained...

Thank goodness my family realizes that when I am mad, my blood sugar is low.  It’s not a pretty sight and I am usually embarrassed by my behavior afterwards, because mad in just not in my nature! The morning started out fine, read the Sunday paper, had my coffee.  Breakfast was pretty boring – a low carb egg wrap made with 1 egg, 1 tablespoons...

Life got in the way of me blogging yesterday!  Before I knew it, it was 10 p.m, and I just didn’t have the energy to blog! Earlier yesterday though, Hannah and I were out in her car running errands, when she tried to start the car and nothing.  No sound, no clicks, just nothing.  Of course, I know nothing about cars but that didn’t stop...
