I love getting cookbooks from my library – they are so expensive these days.  One in particular that I got was this one – it would have been $35.00 in the store! My friend Beth uses King Arthur flour all the time and bakes up some of the best things – check out these whole wheat hot cross buns she made. 😀 I was reading...

Thanks for all your well wishes about my work situation – nothing to report yet, other than the saga continues – but so far I have survived to file another day. 😀 I am still so proud of myself for not letting the stress get the best of me and staying on track with my food and working out – you know what – the...

When I first started this blog, I had no idea how many great people I would “meet” whether it be on a daily basis via blog reading or actually in person.  While the bulk of emails I get off line are questions on how I handle diabetes, I will give you the #1 FAQ of My Bizzy Kitchen. . . How Do You Do It?...

Since I’ve had this blog over two and a half years, I am constantly finding new blogs to read and then quickly add them to my blog roll so I know where to find them again.  Yes, I am still one of those people who has yet to set up Google Reader – so my blog roll is a quick and easy way for me to check up...

I was reading Nicole’s blog the other day and she made a potato crusted quiche.  What?!  You know I am the queen of crustless quiche.  Without a crust I can add more cheese. 😀  Her question of the day was what is your favorite quiche.  Hands down mine is spinach and goat cheese.  The biggest problem with ordering quiche in a restaurant?  The damn onions!...

Well, while we lucked out on the stormy weather on Sunday, I wasn’t prepared for 80 degree heat.  And I had planned on making pretzel rolls that not only have to be baked, but boiled as well – let’s just say I had sweaty boobs going on most of the day!  (I am sure Tony is shaking his head at that last statement!  What can...

What a beautiful weekend we had!  One of our favorite things to do is to sit outside, fire up the Weber grill and just enjoy the outdoors. And Eddie loves soaking up the sun: I may have enjoyed a glass of wine – Hannah caught me after a sip: I did a pork roast on the Weber.  I decided to do a mustard rub: 3...

I guess I’ll start with the good news first: So that means I got my 5% sticker.  I told Tony that I was mad I didn’t hit the 10 pound loss yesterday, but then I said “I’ll get it next week so I’ll get another sticker!”  Apparently, I am all about the stickers. 😀 Since things are so crazy at work, I decided to make...

I’ve talked a lot about how much I love my no rise pizza dough.   You just mix it, roll it and bake it.  I made some dough the other day and I’ve come to a conclusion.  The longer it sits (up to a week) in the refrigerator, the better it gets.  When I woke up yesterday morning I planned on making a carrot and cilantro...

Two reasons I look forward to Wednesday.  First of all – its starts off with bagel Wednesday!  I am so happy I am stealing Lori’s idea on this.   I had a Pam fried egg in the middle of my spicy jalapeno cheddar bagel – breakfast comes in at 10 points. Things have been so crazy at my office – nothing I can go into detail...
