My alarm went off at 6:00 a.m. yesterday and I quickly turned it off.  Shit that’s early.  By 6:10 I knew if I didn’t get my ass out of bed, the gym would just be a thought and not my reality. But it’s dark out at that time.  And my down comforter was tucked under my chin and my husband had already reached over and...

How lucky am I that Tony made me breakfast three days in a row!  Yesterday morning he made me pancakes with dried cranberries – so delicious we didn’t even need any pancake syrup (never mind the fact that I used the last of it and never replaced it!) You know I love soup.  A lot.  I was inspired by this recipe – except I used beef...

Having Friday off from work was nice – we got the grocery shopping done, my meal plan was done so it was nice not to have an agenda yesterday.  After I got back from WW yesterday, Tony made me breakfast – he makes the best eggs – nice and spicy! Since I am not exactly sure what portions were in this breakfast, I am calling...

Morning!  Not only did I have to get up for WW today, but I also had my yearly eye exam.  Being diabetic has it’s challenges, and one of the things I don’t take lightly is my eye health.  Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness. What’s sad is that people who don’t control their diabetes now, may feel fine, but damage is being done and...

Thanks for all your well wishes for my Momma.  Our day started out pretty early – she had to be to the hospital at 7:30, so I dropped her off at 7:15.  Yes, my independent Momma didn’t want me to wait inside – just wait for the doctor to call when she was done. I drove in my workout clothes because I planned on running...

I found myself with almost an hour to kill yesterday morning before I had to leave for work.  Huh, guess what I did?  I was Bizzy in my Kitchen. 😀  I ended up making Marisa’s baked pumpkin oatmeal – holy cow, this one is a winner.  It’s not too sweet, super filling and between prep and baking, was done in 25 minutes.  My pan was...

I had planned on making Marisa’s pumpkin, cranberry and apple baked oatmeal for my breakfast this week, but remembered I was out of flour.  Um, there is no flour in the recipe!  I kicked myself when I got to work and found the recipe on my desk and realized I already had everything to make it.  🙁 I didn’t really have a taste for anything...

First off, if you have a blogger blog, I can’t comment at all.  It either gives me an error message, or if I type a comment, hit enter, it just disappears.  So know I am reading even if I can’t comment.  Am I the only one who’s having this trouble?? There are a couple dishes that I suck at, yet I keep trying over and...

If there is anything my husband enjoys more than football, it’s football food.  I decided to make him mini corn dogs – however, I learned a valuable lesson.  Um, you should always buy all beef hotdogs.  Turns out I bought the cheap “chicken and pork” variety, so while he enjoyed the coating, don’t skimp on the dog, okay? 😀 Corn Dogs – this is enough...

Last weekend Tony said that he saw on America’s Test Kitchens the secret to Chicago Deep Dish Pizza.  It’s funny because the host went to Lou Malnati’s in Chicago to get their recipe for deep dish dough recipe, and they wouldn’t give it up – all he kept saying was that their crust was “buttery.” So they went to the drawing board and came up with...
