Canadian Bacon Breakfast Casserole This Canadian Bacon Breakfast Casserole will be perfect for a weekly meal prep! It was dark on Sunday night by the time we ate.  I pulled out a pork roast Saturday to defrost and cooked it on the Weber Sunday night.  I rubbed it with horseradish mustard, salt, pepper and fresh chopped rosemary. I know I can cook pork until 145...

Our neighbor is a huge NIU football fan.  Both he and his wife went there, his daughter goes there now.  The only problem is that some games are on some weird sports channels, and as Tony is a lover of all sports (except basketball and hockey – those are two sports we never watch.) As luck would have it, we did get the channel and...

I brought breakfast treats for my bosses birthday – I am remiss – he’s turning 27 not 26 – still a baby in my eyes though! I ended up making blueberry muffins, but added a lemon zest glaze to the top – just 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon of milk to start (add more if needed) and then the zest from one...

By the end of the week, the refrigerator has thinned out and I try to use up as much stuff as I can without being wasteful. First thing I saw yesterday morning?  Leftover scalloped potatoes!  I decided to make a hash with them:  3/4 cup scalloped potatoes, 1/2 cup egg white, 1/2 cup baby spinach – I just threw it all in non-stick pan and...

Guess what was staring in my face every time I went into our lunch room yesterday? Not just any Cheeto – cheddar jalapeno people!  I must have been in the kitchen half a dozen times yesterday making my breakfast and lunch, and filling up my water bottle.  Um, but guess who didn’t eat any?!  Me!  It helped that my co-worker told me “they probably are...

I loved all your comments yesterday about eating the bugels – that they basically cancelled out my workout, which is true.  But I’ve come to the decision that I have to be stronger than the food.  I am in control, not the food.  And yesterday I was tested – at work?                                         Yep, cinnamon rolls, black and white cookies AND brownies.  Just so you...

I somehow thought that if I just walked my dog slow, he’d be happy making it to the river and back.   Mind you, its probably only about the distance of two football fields to get to the river and back from our house, and while Ed loved it, by the time we got back I thought I was going to have to carry him up...

The weather this weekend was perfect.  Highs around 70, lows in the 50s.  Now if I could just find a place that has that temperature all year round, I’d move there in a second! Thanks for all the well wishes for my 5k!   I didn’t come in last for my age group either!   I’ll take 13 out of 18 for my age group –...

So yesterday before work I had my full body scan at the dermatologist.   It was intimidating laying there naked while a woman had a light powered magnifying glass went up and down my body, front and back about an inch away from it. I had to laugh though as she was going over my stomach – you can obviously see my insulin injections – sometimes...
