Does anyone else walk down every aisle at the grocery store to get more steps in? No? It’s good and bad. Good that you are getting more steps in, but bad because you tend to throw stuff in the cart that wasn’t on your list. This Scramble though, was a good decision. It was in the egg aisle (duh) – they had several different varieties to chose from – I chose the rancheros one because it didn’t have any onions in it – black beans, yellow and red peppers, jalapenos.
I won a gift card to Corner Bakery, so I picked up some egg whites and a cup of fruit, and topped it with the rancheros – two tablespoons below is only 30 calories and 1 smart point. I thought it would be spicier with the jalapenos, but you all know I have hot sauce at my desk. 😀
It was a gorgeous day yesterday – we have really lucked out with our weather while my friends on the West Coast are melting. I had to private message my friend Rhonda my temps when I think it was 62 here and it was 119 where she lived. Fuck dry heat – 119 is hot no matter what!
My sister and I decided to do the River Walk at lunch.
We walked by this bike rental station, and one day this summer, we are going to rent one of those bikes – its only $30 for an hour – I think we would laugh so hard riding this bike!
I had more lasagna soup for lunch. I really never get sick of this soup 😀
I had defrosted ground beef to make a burger salad, but when I was doing a quick rearrange of the refrigerator, in the back saw that I bought these mushroom caps last Saturday and they needed to be used up. I still had some Italian sausage leftover, so I decided on the spur of the moment to make stuffed mushrooms for dinner. I just used my teaspoon measure to scrape out the fills to make room for the filling.
scrape the sides
Now I know this doesn’t look that appetizing, but it was delicious!

SUMMER BUCKET LIST:
As yesterday was the first day of summer, I realized I didn’t have a “bucket list” of things I wanted to do. I know the summer will be over in the blink of an eye – I am waiting to walk into Walmart any day now and see the school supplies lined up.
One of the things I wanted to do was go to Green City Market, and I am going on Saturday. They are going to have a Chef’s demo at 10:30 and so many vendors – check it out! Any Chicago peeps want to meet me there? Either way, I am going to go. I’ll be sure to get a lot of great produce and get in lots of steps.
I need to start doing some research about what else I want to do this summer. Kayaking on the Chicago River was one of them, but we watched a guy kayaking by himself yesterday on our walk, and there is just too much boat traffic for my liking. I may see if they have kayaking near where I live that isn’t so crowded.
What’s on your bucket list this summer? Do you make a list or just wing it?!
On my way to Weight Watchers for WI – I was a bit snacky and had wine this past weekend, but I also killed it in the step department, averaging 16,000 steps a day. We will see!
Make it a great day!
I purchased your e-book and although I love the recipes I am disappointed there are no Weight Watcher points. I have to figure out everything myself? Why
Hi Nancy! Weight Watchers doesn’t let you put the points in printed materials – but here is the link on my blog with all the points.

Thank you for your support!
Have you signed up for Corner Bakery’s email list? They send out great coupons!! Do you have a Panera near you? There is a code for 3 off 6.00. You need to order thru their app( phone or online). Code is YUMJUNE. ( all caps)
Our neighbor had a surrey (with a fringe on top, old song title) when we were growing up and it was always so much fun to be taken for a ride in it!
I checked one thing off my list last night – I went paddle boarding for the first time! There’s a rental place with a special on Wednesday night. Check out the rental places on your lake, Biz.
OMG, I’ve wanted to do that! My friend Robin got the idea in my head to do that a few years ago and I still haven’t done it – I love this post she wrote about it though!

I’ll have to check that out – the Weight Watcher meeting topic today was all about movement. While I love my walking, I know I need to shake things up 😀
I’m with Melissa, I have no desire to be outside with temps from 95 to 100+ and 100% humidity. I’m done with voluntary outdoor activities by 9 am. I will venture out again after 7 pm but only on occasion. My bucket list for the summer, prevent dehydration and heat stroke. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong when I walk in the stores to count steps. I guess my arm with my fit bit is to stationary on the cart and it doesn’t register them. Those mushroom, yum, I may have drooled a bit. I have never thought of putting meat in them and no bread crumbs, pure genius!
If I had that heat and humidity, I’d stay indoors too Kym! Someone at my WW meeting says that she can’t hold onto the cart with her “fitbit” hand because it won’t count the steps because her arm isn’t moving!
I am going to stock up on mushrooms at the farmers market on Saturday 😀
I always have my seasonal bucket list–but don’t enjoy being outdoors when it’s “too hot”; so I usually make one for the autumn, winter & spring. My bucket list for summer is to stay indoors in the A/C! LOL. Lots of hiking and spooky ghost tour walks, horse back riding and Gettysburg visit planned for this coming autumn.
I can already envision you & sister on those bikes!!!
So far we’ve had a cool summer, which I am loving. When we do rent those bikes I am going to take tons of pictures! 😛
Don’t really have a bucket list per se – but I am spending mental time thinking about strength training – and where to start and how to fit it in. So I do want to start doing something this summer.
Wish I could meet you downtown – I work Saturday mornings!
Rats – sorry you have to work! We’ll meet up one of these days 😀
Love the Scrambled product. I found them awhile back at Target.
My Summer Bucket List
See Willie Nelson 4th of July Concert
Swim at the Blue Hole in Georgetown
Camp one weekend of the summer months
Unpack my craft room
Make the Naan bread and lasagna soup recipes that you have shared. 🙂
Oh and continue to strive to lose 40lbs by Dec for a work contest. Winner wins $1000.00 and if I was lucky enough to win I will use that to book my cruise sooner 🙂
Wowza – $1000 is quite the incentive! Love your bucket list Paula 😀
I’m confused. Stuffed mushrooms or stuffed peppers! ? I do love stuffed mushrooms, though!
Also, I see people riding those surrey bikes around Minnehaha Park and vowed I’m going to take my nephews next time they visit!
OMG, good catch Carrie! I fixed it – I also put the wrong amount of sausage (it was 6, or 1 ounce per mushroom cap) and forgot to add the mushroom caps to the recipe too 😀
Don’t those bikes look like so much fun?!
