Yep, I had another Green Monster for breakfast, although I do agree with a few of you that commented, I missed the “chew” of a meal.  I think these will make an appearance a couple times a week, but I miss my eggs and cheese in the morning! And I stole Tony’s cup – it’s the only tall one that has a lid so I...

Okay, I have to be honest, I’ve been seeing Green Monsters around food blogs for literally years.  The thought of drinking a spinach drink just turned me off.  But I’ve always kept the idea in the back of my head as if “some day” I’ll try one. As luck would have it, my store had bunches of spinach on sale for .50 cents a bunch. ...

What a great weekend we had!  The weather had a slight fall feel to it – fall is my favorite season of the year.  Not sure if its because that’s when school started and its like a clean slate, but my ideal temperature is between 50-60 degrees. I have to give a shout out to O Olive Oil.  A while back I entered a recipe...

I am so looking forward to a full grocery shop this week.  Yesterday was slim pickings to make my meals yesterday.  For instance, take a look at my breakfast tacos: I am sure you are thinking – what the hell is in there?  Try 1/2 a cup of scrambled egg whites, 1 breakfast sausage, and a cup of broccoli slaw.  I divided the mixture between...

Mind you, these are not the crispy versions you probably are used to seeing with the crunchy edges. These are more like mashed potato pancakes with a zucchini flavor – fluffy, light...

After stepping on the scale yesterday and seeing that number (which I am not going to share just yet), I knew I had to step up my game otherwise that number will just keep going up. One thing lacking in my exercise routine?  Strength training.  I found this book through www.goodreads.com and ordered it off of Amazon. I have some likes and dislikes about this...

I was so glad to go to the parent orientation at Hannah’s school.  It also reminded me that I don’t miss the commute to get downtown!  I took the 6:58 a.m. train yesterday and it got me downtown by 8:05.  I am about 55 miles NW of the city, and I did that commute for about six months before finding a job in the suburbs....
