I couldn’t even take pictures of it, because it is the saddest time of year when we put our gazebo away for the season.  All that remains is  steel frame that’s nailed into the concrete.  It’s the happiest day when we put it up every year, which means that warmer weather is headed our way! And as much as I love fall, today was a...

It’s so icky outside.  Wet, rainy and a day that makes me want to stay under the covers!  I started breakfast with an Arnold thin, and my eggs consisted of 1/2 cup egg beaters, 1/2 ounce cheese, 1 ounce diced ham, diced red pepper, diced jalapeno pepper 🙂 and a splash of Tabasco.  And I had another honey crisp apple on the side. For lunch...

Over the weekend I happened to stop at Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and trying to make a good choice, I decided to get the Hummus Veggie Sandwich. It was described as: Hummus, Pesto, Provolone, Green & Red Peppers, Parmesan Tomatoes with Field Greens on Nine-Grain Wheat. The only substitutions I had was to leave out the tomatoes and substitute with banana peppers. That being said, the...

Hannah broke the news to me today.  I thought I had talked to her at length about the consequences of your actions, but I guess it just didn’t sink in.  KIDDING! Hannah is in child development class and brought home a baby that makes all sorts of noises – our dog Ed is beside himself, he’s not quite sure how to react!  I had to...

Today was a productive day!  I have to mention the real reason I took today off was because Tony was going to have a root canal and I wanted to be there for moral support.  Sadly, I was so busy at work yesterday, that I failed to call the nurse and ask about what type of pain medication, what to expect, etc., so unfortunately he...

Whew, my work project is finally over!  It has been a long 4 days – I worked 14 hours over the weekend.  No meal planning, no grocery shopping = not happy!  And when that happens, the eating tends to lean towards fast food a bit too much!  Hopefully I didn’t go too overboard! So what happens is that I have to be creative with what...

I didn’t have many readers a year ago, so here is a tribute to my Dad I did last year.  If your Dad is still alive, give him a great big hug for me today! 😀

I worked today and will probably have to work most of tomorrow, so no cooking for Biz this weekend! 🙁  It makes me so sad to write that sentence! Come back Monday night for hopefully good eats!  Don’t forget to enter my Cabot Cheese recipe contest giveaway!

I had a non-stop day at work yesterday and when I got home, all I wanted to do was make dinner and snuggle with Tony – and that’s exactly what I did!  Breakfast yesterday started out with spicy oats: 1/2 cup oats, 2 pieces cooked bacon, 1 Pam fried egg and 1/2 ounce 75% reduced fat cheese and a good shot of Frank’s hot sauce. ...

Super excited about this giveaway, but you’ll have to see my eats first! 😀 Breakfast was something I haven’t had in a while – my apple cheese bread!  1.5 ounce Italian whole wheat bread, 2 ounces apple, 1 ounce 75% reduced fat cabot cheese and an 1/2 cup egg white omelet with diced red pepper and 1/2 ounce of shredded Parmesan cheese. Lunch was leftover...
