Thanks for all the kind comments yesterday about my day spent with my family!  Glad you think Charlie looks as good as I think he does. 😀 I have Jacky to thank for my breakfast yesterday.  A while back she posted a recipe for a cauliflower buffalo dip that looked amaze balls. But I never ended up making this because I went to Virginia, so I...

So two unfortunate events led me to see family this year that I didn’t think I would get to see.  My SIL’s Mom’s memorial was on Saturday in Des Moines.  It was because of that event that I got to see my brother Charlie, his wife and two daughters, since they came through Chicago on their way back to Austin. My Mom is selling her...

I am happy to say that the grilled pizza party at my office yesterday was a success!  Just a couple of problems. First, the Weber grill that’s at our office has three burners, they run top to bottom.  I am used to having four burners on our gas grill, so I can have a hot side and a cool side.  I thought I had it...

Surprisingly, this week went by pretty quickly.  Since having a short week the week before when I went to Virginia, I thought this week would drag, but here we are at Friday! I think I am on a Mexican kick this week!  More breakfast tacos – although get ready for some yogurt parfaits – Chobani is sending me another case of yogurt – this time...

I got half way to work and realized I never made anything for my breakfast.  I got to work a bit early so I jumped over to Subway to pick up a breakfast sammie.  I was looking at the nutritional information on the glass, and it said that a steak, egg white and cheese on flat bread was only 210 calories – nice! I loaded...

Yesterday Tony and I had to leave just around the same time.  I was cooking up my shrimp for my soup for lunch when Tony came into the kitchen dressed and ready to go.  While I had showered, I still was in my p.j.’s.  He said he wasn’t in a hurry (my car was parked behind his), but all of a sudden I felt like...

My sister asked me yesterday if I weighed in.  The answer to that?  Hell No.  While I know I’ve gained weight, there was no way I wanted to see what the number was on that scale.  My plan is actually not to weigh in again until August 1, so these next three weeks are going to be “get back to where you were mode.” Since...

Despite the reason why I was going to Virginia to celebrate my Uncle’s life, I had such a great time at my Aunt’s house hanging out with family, cooking and relaxing. Before I left I asked Tony if he wanted me to make him any casseroles or anything for when I was gone, and he said “here’s an idea – how about I figure out...

Thanks again for all your well wishes about my trip to Virginia for my Uncle’s memorial and my anxiety for flying.  I know it will be fine – the weather is going to be fine, so it’s all good.  Thanks Tony for making the 3 hour round trip drive to drop me off and pick me up – you are amaze balls and I will...

I had leftover dough from our deep dish pizza night and its been ages since I made a breakfast pizza.  This time it was ham, fresh basil, one egg, 4 ounces of pizza dough and 1 ounce of mozzarella cheese. I put it in the oven and then tried and tried to get our dog out.  Tony had already left for an early Monday morning...
