Our #LivingWell progressive dinner continued on to Maestro’s Steakhouse.  I have to admit, when I got the itinerary, I had never heard of that steakhouse before. We took a trolley from Sable Kitchen to Maestro’s – I felt like a tourist in my own town.    We had a separate space upstairs all to ourselves, but that place was hopping!  Check out their bar! We...

We continue our Living Well 2013 conference with our progressive dinner, that started at the Sable Kitchen & Bar.  If you watched Top Chef Texas you may recognize the Chef of this restaurant, Heather Terlune. We were greeted with more wine – this time a petite sirah.  I wish I would have gotten the name of it because it was bold – Tony always teases...

Guess how many pictures I took this weekend?  If you guessed 405 you’d be right – gah!  Gotta love digital photography and iPhones! Because I have so many pictures to share, I am going to be breaking down my Beef Weekend into five pieces – each day you’ll get to see a bit more of my weekend and I’ll do a final recap on Friday. ...

I am so excited for this weekend!  It’s seemed so far away when I got invited by the Beef Council and Beef.  It’s What’s For Dinner Living Well weekend at The Wit Hotel in Chicago.  When I was first invited I thought it was going to be this big event with tons of people – um, turns out only 20 bloggers were invited, and I...

Such great things going on: not eating office candy getting water in waking up at 3:45 before work...

I am actually pretty proud that I figured out how to open a private group on Facebook.  I’ve started a group called “Healthy for the Holidays with My Bizzy Kitchen” on Facebook.  You can find me at Beth Hills Velatini and I can add you to the private group.  We’ve got 31 members so far to cheer each other on this holiday season! I’ve realized...

I have been loving taking the back roads to work lately.  There is still traffic, but it keeps moving so the 30 minute drive doesn’t seem as long.  Yesterday morning was gorgeous!  I actually took these pictures while driving – but I didn’t look at the phone, I just took like 10 pictures and there were the only two that worked out. I’ve seen Meatless...
