I started putting our breakfast together – corned beef hash and was able to take one picture before my camera died! I diced up the potato and remaining corned beef from St. Patty’s Day.  With an egg white scramble and a piece of toast: Hannah had to work yesterday and Maxi’s main goal was to sleep in as long as possible!  Mission accomplished – she...

I loved reading all your memorable birthdays! 😀  I actually had a really busy day at work yesterday, but it made the day go by fast.  My eats were pretty boring! Breakfast was an egg white scramble with ham and cheese and un-photographed strawberries. Lunch was leftover pasta from the night before – but I added a link of this sausage – I loved it! ...

I am not going to lie, I was a nervous wreck before picking up our exchange student!  Would she like us?  Would she feel comfortable?  Is this the longest period of time being away from her parents? My anxious feelings were quickly washed away when I saw her walk through the airport doors, she spotted Hannah and gave her a hug!  They have been corresponding...

Okay, I may have had a Hannah night last night – I could not stop cleaning in anticipation of our exchange student Maxime coming today!  Think spring cleaning X 10!  Now, we keep things pretty orderly on a regular basis – I have Tony to thank for that because left to my own accord, things tend to pile up around me – but he keeps...

Yep, me – the one that was on a bowling league and routinely bowled a 220?  My high score last night was 107!  We had such a great time! First I started off with Katie’s migas – although I modified it a bit for one serving and for what I had on hand.  I really loved the corn tortilla with the eggs! First I started...

So with no grocery shop, my eats were on the tad boring side yeseterday, but still tasty!  For breakfast I had 2 mini bagels and split 1 Pam fried egg between then, 1 oz. ham and 1 oz. swiss cheese with two mini tangerines on the side. My deep freeze came to my rescue for lunch.  The very last of my last batch of Cincinnati...

Tony and I spent the better part of yesterday painting our bathroom and installing a new fan/light.  My arms are so tired from painting.  The color we chose was called shitake, but it’s really a chocolate brown – what do you think of the color? When we moved into our house, the whole bathroom was pink – even the toilet!   We had painted it a...

I had a meeting with our banker yesterday morning to show me how to do online banking – love it!  I slept in a bit so only had time for Cheerios! So when I got back, I made Tony and I breakfast sammies!  Mine – 2 oz. sesame bagel, 1 egg, 1/4 cup egg white, chopped baby spinach, 2 pieces of bacon and 1/2 ounce...

Another cookbook I got at a thrift store recently was Cooking Lights Annual Recipes from 2004.  Is it sad that I read cookbooks like an actual fiction novel? 😀 I adapted one of their recipes for my breakfast yesterday.  It took all of about 5 minutes to put it together and it baked while I blogged yesterday morning.  I knew I was going to share...

It was stormy last night in Chicagoland.  The first sound of thunder means we have to shut down the computer.  Can I just tell you it was just weird not checking in on everyone last night?  So Tony and I caught up on some of the stuff we had on DVR – The Office last night was so funny! So since I still had the...
