Jacky sent me a link yesterday on Facebook yesterday morning.  I hadn’t even gone on Facebook yet when my sister called me to tell me that I made the list for the Top 100 Most Influential Weight Loss Blogs. There’s only one slight problem with that list.  Um, I haven’t lost any weight in 5 years.  Yes I’ve dropped a few pounds here and there,...

I absolutely love Nature Valley granola bars.  They are crunchy goodness.  But it seems every time I try to make crunchy granola bars, they fall apart almost immediately upon cutting and I am left with granola.  If I had wanted granola I would have made granola! Enter HalfBakedHarvest’s recipe.  I think the simple missing ingredient was using the bottom of a cup measure to REALLY...

I picked up Hannah late Saturday afternoon to head to my Mom’s for a Momma Day sleepover Saturday night.  It’s kind of weird when you see your kids after they have moved out.  I think it’s been about a month since I’d seen her? We got to my Mom’s house and we decided it would be easier to go out Saturday night then on actual...

Afternoon!  Wow, what a lazy morning I had.  I slept for 10 hours last night.  I wish I could give my gift of sleep to Tony just for one night so he could know what it feels like to sleep that long.  We were both really hungry and I had to pick up my contacts before the eye doctor closed so we headed out to...

Hooray for Friday!  Actually, this week went by pretty fast.  A week from today we will be leaving for Austin!   We’ve already rented a boat for one day when we are there to boat around Lake Travis – how beautiful is this??!! Thanks to all of you who stopped by Brooke’s blog to congratulate her on getting to goal, you guys rock! I was...

I hope many of you read Brooke’s blog.  (Brooke Not On A Diet).  She and I “met” each others blog a few years ago.  She was overweight.  Like 327 pounds.  By the time I met her she’s already lost about 70 pounds and was looking fabulous.  She chipped away at it, day after day, month after month and year after year. Mind you, this woman...

I haven’t gotten all the numbers back on my last doctors appointment, but the nurse called me yesterday to tell me that my cholesterol is high.  Really high.  I didn’t even think to ask the number, but I should be getting all the results in the mail in a couple days.  I’ve been on cholesterol medicine since September, and never really thought much of it. ...

Since I had taken so many pictures over the weekend, I was remiss in showing you the delicious breakfast Tony made me on Sunday.  This was actually my breakfast and lunch.  Last night we were watching t.v. and he was like “why didn’t my breakfast make the blog?” I put some ingredients out and let Tony do his magic!  Eggs, egg whites, corn tortillas, sausage,...

I wish my Dad could have lived long enough to enjoy digital photography.  My Dad was an avid photographer, so much so that we had a dark room in our basement.  I remember going downstairs as a child, seeing the red light flashing outside the dark room which meant I couldn’t go in just yet. When I did watch my Dad develop the film, it...

My secret (or not so secret) dream job would be to own a food truck and be open for breakfast and lunch.  I’d serve all sorts of scones, biscotti, good coffee and delicious egg sandwiches on homemade biscuits. Lunch would be paninis!  Roast beef and goat cheese with roasted red pepper, BLTs, ham and Swiss cheese with horseradish mustard.  And all my sandwiches of course...
