I am so glad that I know Lori because without her, I would never have thought to have bagel Wednesday.  I don’t have one every Wednesday, but I do think about her when I do.    Sesame bagel, egg beaters, 1 slice of mortadella and .8 ounce of provolone cheese.  Starting your day with a bagel and cheese?  Priceless.  421 calories, 13 at, 45 carbs,...

Yup, the breakfast parfait is alive and well. Plain Greek yogurt mixed with 1 tablespoon of sugar free pancake syrup, a small tangerine, strawberries and ½ a banana for the fruit filling and 1/3 cup of granola. 376 calories, 2.4 fat, 66 carbs, 7 fiber and 22 protein. The weather was beautiful at lunch there was no way anything was going to stop me from...

I have so many of those tiny peppers to use up. I kind of get crazy when I see stuff on the $1 rack! I think I’ll grill some up to make a grilled pepper soup, but decided to sauté some up to make something for breakfast and see where my inspiration took me. A quick look in the fridge and I had . ....

My SIL and MIL love Brussels sprouts.  When I was meal planning for our lunches this week, I thought I would add some brussel sprouts to a couple of her meals.  I tried them again, still not a fan, but Erica, I know I need to give your Brussels sprout recipe a try! I didn’t really eat breakfast since I was taste testing our lunches. ...

Helen will be so proud.  I bought a pair of shoes!  I talked about my having plantar fascitis last week, and that I have to wear orthopedic inserts in my shoes.  Only one problem – they don’t fit in a lot of shoes I have.  Well, let’s be honest, I only own 5 pairs of shoes, and one of those are flip flops. The one...

I just wish I was maintaining at 135 pounds though! Even though its not showing on the scale, I feel tighter, if that makes any sense.  I think those 30 minute stretch DVR I’ve been doing is tightening up my muscles and my legs feel good with the walking.  I just need to step away from the wine and salty snacks! Yep, another breakfast parfait...

So glad its Friday today – for some reason this work week dragged even though I was busy.  Usually my day flies by when its busy but I kept looking at the clock and it would only be 15 minutes later and I would have thought an hour went by! Yep – back to my breakfast parfait – I found two containers of Chobani on...

I still have so much Easter ham leftover – I think I’ll need to make some ham macaroni and cheese soon – that’s one of Hannah’s favorites, although she still likes Kraft mac n cheese – although she feels that the shaped pasta tastes better for some reason. After my 30 minute stretch I put my food together for the day.  I have to tell...

Since I haven’t done a normal grocery shop this week, I refuse to go to the store because I know we have plenty of food to eat.  A week ago though I bought a container of plain Chobani – I was going to make chicken tikka masala, but never got around to it. So the breakfast parfait was back!  Sauteed apples and bananas in the...

Thanks so much to everyone who left a comment about my post yesterday about my brother being sick, and especially for the dozen people who emailed me with personal stories of family members with non-hodgkins, who not only beat it, but are leading healthy, active lives.  It filled me with hope! My SIL is a recovering breast cancer survivor, so unfortunately she knows all too...
