Friday night pajama party!  I had the pleasure of having these two littles over Friday night for a sleep over.  I went to their house to grill up some chicken pitas and brought mac n cheese for the kids.  After we ate, I scooped the girls in my car and brought them home.  I live less than 10 minutes from their house.  Their Momma?  Called...

My train was delayed yesterday because of mechanical problems.  It was the first day back for my one boss who’s been on vacation for two weeks, and I thought for sure it was going to be a crazy busy day, so I took the early train.  Well, I got on the platform to catch my train at 7:05 and didn’t sit down to my desk...

Every once in a while I impress myself with recipes.  You see I write a lot of my recipes in a book, while I am on the train.  I never know exactly how they will turn out, although truth be told, they all turn out great in my head.  When I opened my oven door and saw these beautiful mile high biscuits I squeaked with...

About a month or more ago, you may remember that a branch from my tree hit my neighbors roof and put a dent in their gutter.  Because there was no damage to my property, my insurance wouldn’t cover it.  They claimed that the damage was $5,000, they had to file a claim with their insurance company and will have to have their fireplace rebuilt –...

Last Friday my sister and I finally got to do our Fun Food Friday together.  It had been a few weeks because of my sisters work schedule.  My boss had reservations at Petterino’s, which is a restaurant just a block from my office.  My boss had 1:00 reservations, and he had to cancel, so I asked if he minded if I took them (he’s a...

I know a lot of people would be upset at temps in the low 60s in the middle of June, but that is my favorite temperature.  Just cool enough to need a light jacket, but you aren’t sweating balls walking to work.  I really wished I could have worked outside yesterday!  Oh, but wait, when I did that, I worked farmers markets and had to...

I don’t know what made me think to walk to the train station from my house.  To tell you the truth, I didn’t really know exactly how far it was from my house to the train station.  I am kind of glad that I didn’t look it up because it was 2.6 miles one way, and I may have had second thoughts had I known...

While I posted waffles on my instagram yesterday topped with whipped cream, that was Sunday’s breakfast.  Yesterday I made these sweet and savory strawberry shortcake waffles – holy cow was this delicious!  I used the everything but the bagel seasoning with the egg whites (1) the waffle (4) and a drizzle of sugar free pancake syrup (1).  A delicious and filling 6 smart point breakfast...

I spent ten minutes yesterday on the train planning my day – journaling always keeps me focused, and if I steer away from it, my healthy vision starts to get blurry. I had another picky plate for breakfast.  Hard boiled egg (2), deli ham (2) and 3/4 ounce Cabot cheese (3) and fruit. My sister is out of the office the rest of this week,...

I made another batch of my one point fruit sauce over the weekend.  I am lucky that Hannah goes in spurts of making fruit smoothies, and I have about five bags of frozen bags to choose from at any given time.  It made me think of all the things I’ve taken for granted while she has been living with me these last two years.  First...
