Why do weekends have to go by so fast?  I think Monday is my least favorite day of the week.  Again since I woke up late yesterday, I had another brunch – this time with 2 ounces french bread topped with spinach and ham scrambled eggs, topped with 1/2 ounce of cheese, then put under the broiler.  Breakfast was a delicious 10 points. On Saturday...

We woke up so late yesterday, by the time we ate it was more like lunch than breakfast.  I made a quick three pepper pizza with 1 ounce of Italian sausage and 1.5 ounces of cheese.  My pizza crust was pizza crust for 1 – it is 6 points:  1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp. yeast, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup of water. With my...

Not gonna lie that I thought I gained this week – all because I didn’r really track my food or work out for two days?  I woke up at 8:30 (I normally go to the 8:00 meeting) and while I easily could have gone to the 9 or 10 o’clock meeting, I opted to sleep in and snuggle with Tony.  We watched some t.v. and...

On Tuesday and Wednesday we had temps in the 60’s in Chicagoland.  We have had one of the mildest winters on record this year.  But on Tuesday I never worked out – my blood sugar never got over 125, even with taking half the amount of insulin.  Then Hannah’s birthday was on Wednesday, while I thought about it, I didn’t suggest going to the gym in...

Thanks for all your comments yesterday for Hannah’s birthday!  We started out the day with fresh coffee and I got her chocolate chip muffins.  A couple weeks ago we were talking about what kind of birthday cake she wanted, and she wanted another mocha cake.  This is the cake I made her last year. Since I was talking a half day yesterday, I knew I’d...

It doesn’t seem real that I have a daughter that’s in her 20’s.  Seems just like yesterday she was in kindergarten and I was the queen of bringing homemade treats for snack days that were so complicated, the kids loved me and the moms hated me.  (You can see the many faces of Hannah in last years 19th birthday post). I am sure I’ve talked...

I actually didn’t even try a sweet potato until a few years ago.  That’s one thing that food blogging can do – tempt you into trying foods again that you otherwise thought you hated. I actually love coming up with recipes – and decided it was high time I entered some recipe contests – I figure I have nothing to lose!  So I google searched...

I’ve always liked red meat.  Growing up, one of my favorite meals was steak and baked potatoes.  We would always have our Dad fix our baked potatoes – he would cut them open, add the butter and salt and pepper – it always tasted better when he made them. So I am really looking forward to trying some of these beef dishes!  Here is the...

Remember the bagel I talked about on Friday that was giving me the stink eye?  I caved and after WW swung by a bagel shop and picked up bagels for the house.  While the jalapeno cheddar is high up on the list – my all time favorite bagel?  The everything bagel.  I toasted that bad boy up and schmeared it with a little butter and...

I got to work yesterday and realized I never packed anything for my breakfast!  There was an office meeting and the bagels were giving me the stink eye, but I ended up having 1/2 cup of my granola that I had in my desk drawer, a chopped apple and 1/2 a cup of skim milk.  Breakfast comes in at 6 points. It was predicted that...
