Short and Sweet

While that could describe me 😀 it will describe this post.  I took exactly six pictures yesterday – that is so not like me! We have two refrigerators, and invariably the “beverage” fridge in the basement gets some overflow from the upstairs one.  The only problem is that if you don’t go in there for a beverage, you forget what’s in there.   So yesterday morning...

TGIF!

Yesterday was the last and final appearance of the cauliflower crustless quiche 😀  I had an english muffin on the side this time, of course still with bacon and Taco Bell sauce!  Breakfast: 472 calories, 35 carbs, 30 protein, 26 fat and 7.3 fiber. Since I did the extreme ride the day before, I opted for the elliptical.  While its nice to watch HGTV while...

BSI – Butter!

I think technically I could have three submissions to this weeks BSI contest, but I am going to go with only one. 😀 Hannah babysat two different kids over the weekend and made pizza for each of them.  I noticed there was leftover dough in the fridge, so that meant one thing: breakfast pizza!  This round: 4 ounces of dough, 1/4 cup pizza sauce, 1...

More Crustless Quiche!

More Crustless Quiche!
After Tony’s huevos rancheros, pretty sure I could have a Mexican type breakfast every morning!  Yesterday it was a low carb wrap, the queso chipotle laughing cow cheese, black beans, egg beaters, yellow and red pepper with a bit of avocado.  Truth be told, I didn’t really taste the chipotle cheese, maybe because my black beans were seasoned?  I need to try it by itself...

Longest Bike Ride and Yummy Breakfast

Tony and I were watching another food show over the weekend – I know, shocking!  😀  It was a throw down with Bobby Flay and it was huevos rancheros.  Tony decided to make me breakfast yesterday morning and boy was it delicious! He pam fried the tortilla to make it crispy, removed it, then scrambled two eggs and about an ounce and a half of...

Twinfest Recap and how to butcher a beef tenderloin

Twinfest Recap and how to butcher a beef tenderloin
Since I knew I was going to be having pizza and cake later yesterday afternoon, my breakfast was simple – two Nature’s Path granola bars – am I the only one that loves crunchy granola bars? It was the perfect amount of fuel to do Level 1 of Jillian’s 30 day shred.  I am happy to report that I was able to do the push...

Twinfest . . . I had wine. . . and potato chips.

I had gone two weeks without a cocktail, and last night, I just wanted a glass of wine.  Well, one glass turned into three, which turned into me eating potato chips with Hannah while watching the best of Comedy Central’s roasts!  It totally wasn’t worth it, so I am back on the wagon (I think that’s the right saying??!!) I haven’t made breakfast wonton cups...

BSI – Flour

I really have no idea where my brain was yesterday morning.  It usually only takes me a few minutes to put my breakfast and lunch together for the day, because I have a general idea of what I have. Yesterday I decided I was going to make open face egg sammies with turkey bacon and peaches on the side.  Only one problem – I forgot...

Green Tea Ice Cream

Green Tea Ice Cream
First off – thank you, thank you, for all your kind comments yesterday about my abs tummy picture.  If nothing else I hope it inspired someone to get off the couch and get moving.  Today is Day 10 on my new plan and I feel great.  Just imagine where I’ll be at Day 100! 😀 I was so sore yesterday morning from Jillian’s shred that...
