When Jacky chose cherries as the BSI ingredient this week, a quick look through my archives during the past 2 1/2 years of My Bizzy Kitchen – I had not one recipe using cherries! I have Tony to thank for my first cherry recipe – he suggested I make a cherry salsa.  OMG, I love this salsa – although next time I will reduce the...

Whenever I drive to WW I always try to imagine myself with a loss for the week – you know the power of positive thinking?  I had a good week.  I walked for 50 minutes 5 times last week, I drank less, probably could have had more fruits and veggies – I’ll have to work on that this week.

While I had a zucchini omelet on the menu this week, I was running out of time.  So I did the easy thing – microwaved it!  I have a four inch ramekin.  I shredded an...

We had a great weekend – very productive!  Tony and I picked up our new dishwasher and Tony was able to install it, which saved us $150 in installation fees! 😀  He jokes and calls himself the maintenance man because he fixes everything around the house – I am really blessed to have such a handy husband.  But did you know before this weekend, I...
