It started out rainy, but warm #win!  By the time I got downtown, it stopped raining and it was near 50 degrees.  The river was still partially frozen, but it was a glimpse of spring and it was a glorious walk to my office from the train station. These muffins.  OMG.  I am posting the recipe for these tomorrow, but they taste like a potato...

Good morning!  The blog might look a bit different today, because I’ve changed the theme and over the next few weeks, it might look a bit every.single.day.  But I was looking for a cleaner look, and organized a bit better, so bear with me through this blog renovation. 😀 Over the weekend I made a batch of naan bread.  If you’ve never tried a yeast...

If you are on Weight Watchers connect, there are several members who somehow are trending every.single.day – I don’t understand why a handful of people always get the same recogniztion day after day, when I see other people who are killing it and get no attention at all.  Such is social media, right? A member called “Mudhustler” has a recipe for a Big Ass Waffle...

It’s funny living in the midwest when you feel that 30 degrees is so warm, but that first day in October or November when we dip into the 30s, we are like “it’s so fricken cold! Why do I live here?”  But have subzero temps, it was a joy to walk to the office in 30 degree weather. I plan on posting my take on...

There are a couple things you can never get too many pictures of – for me its sunrises and sunsets!  Oh, and clouds.  And babies.  Well, and food. 😀 I haven’t had Joseph’s brand pitas in while, and since Hannah and I went to Walmart on Saturday and spent nearly three hours because we walked down every.single.aisle. I had kind of forgotten about them, but...

Skinny Pizza Dough How was Skinny Pizza Dough Created? I first wrote this recipe in December of 2017, after I could not for the life of me get the viral Weight Watchers  “Two Ingredient Dough” to work out for me without having yogurt all over my hands, or having to add a shit ton more flour, which basically defeated the whole purpose! With the addition...

I will always take cold weather and sunny skies over snow days and 35 degrees.  Although yesterday with the windchill, it felt like 2 degrees.  Let’s just say I don’t mind those temps if I am at home, on my comfy sofa with the dogs and a fire going in the wood burning stove.  I plan on making a batch of the skinny bagels over...

The signs were all there.  Searching for a “looser” pair of underwear in the morning, sifting through your jammies drawer for the extra stretchy pants.  I haven’t worked out in I don’t know how long, the wine has been a staple on my kitchen counter, and those extra licks and tastes (and gummies!) added up. I didn’t weigh in on Saturday because I was downtown,...

I am so excited for my 5k tomorrow.  I used my new Weight Watchers bag yesterday – not sure if its a lunch bag or not, but that’s what I am using it for.   My original goal was to raise $100, and I am shocked that I am almost to $300!  Huge thank you to my Aunt Cele, my Mom, Carrie, Lynne, my MIL...

It was my first full day working for three partners, but as luck would have it, one of them didn’t come in – whew!  I think I may need to rethink the idea of eating breakfast at work – it’s just that I am usually not hungry when I wake up and coffee holds me until I eat breakfast.  But I hit the ground running...
