Update:  I updated the 101 Challenge Page – go check it out! 😀 We had such a nice time last night!  Although we almost missed the ceremony!  We had printed directions as well as the GPS, and both failed us miserably!  We got there about 10 minutes late, but saw most of the ceremony. While it was at the Groom’s church, the pastor that married...

So not only did I start the pizza wheels turning by mentioning I wanted party pizza Friday on my last post, but I also made the dough and had it on the counter – then later when I talked to Tony on the phone I was like “all we need is mozzarella cheese, a red pepper and whatever you want on your side of the...

I’s been over a year since Christina, Mara, Michelle and I got together!   What do you think of a 2010 Summer meet up at a Schaumburg Flyers game?   I am not sure how many Chicago area readers there are, but I thought it could be fun!  Just leave a comment if you have any interest – I’ve always wanted to go to a Flyers game...

Since I haven’t officially grocery shopped, I present you with the typical breakfast sammie.  Turns out I am not the only one who could eat these every day – my friend Marisa even made her own turkey sausage!  I am definitely putting that on my list of things to make! My friend and I hit the gym – I did 30 minutes on a new...

I actually prepared a BSI recipe for last week, but when we went out to eat with Joe and his girlfriend the night before I left, I never got a chance to post it! Mo was the host last week.  She chose rice which is great because you could make that either savory or sweet! I went both ways! Thai Basil Coconut Rice 2 cups...

Before I begin this monster post recap, be sure to check out the Week 2 Update of our 101 Days of Summer Challenge – I love how many of you have loved the accountability of having to check in with me – we had a great week last week! I also have to give a shout out to the lovely Erica at Itzy’s Kitchen –...

I definitely have a love/hate relationship with family reunions.  One of my problems is that my mom and dad moved from Virgina to Chicago “for two years” in 1965 and never went back!  So while everyone else remained in Virginia, growing up I always felt like the “outsider.”  Another thing is that the older I get, the smaller my memory is of the next generations. ...

I am not sure if its Hannah laptop, or my internet connection but it is s …l….o…..w!  I’ll make this post pretty quick! I had to get up at 5:15 yesterday morning and we left the house at six.  I made a breakfast sammie for the ride to the airport.  I am a somewhat nervous traveler when it comes to planes – never been a...

I am now in Hilton Head, SC.  My aunt wouldn’t think of me staying in a hotel, so I am in a house my cousin rented, which is four doors down – nice!  It’s hot!  No time to post, will download pictures for the morning and recap my trip.  So far so good!  Oh, and Hannah’s having a great time in Germany so far too!...

Can anyone find canned pumpkin this time of year??  I wanted to make pumpkin pancakes for breakfast, but I couldn’t find it anywhere – maybe its a seasonal thing??  So I went seasonal and made blueberry pancakes!  I didn’t have any whole wheat flour, so I subbed in one cup of this flour: I bought this flour when I made Clean Eating’s Mac N Cheese...
