This cold weather is just sucking the life out of me.  I can’t help but think of what Tony would say to me every day if he were still here – “why do we live here?!”  He hated winter most of all, and this lingering winter would have drove him batty.  And while I’ve bumped up my thermostat to 68 (I usually like it at...

The best part about making waffles is that you can have breakfast for days.  I made another waffle breakfast sammie yesterday.  1/2 of my Bolthouse Farms Protein Waffle (3) an egg, spinach, ham (1) 1/2 once of cheese (2) sugar free pancake syrup (1) and tangerines for dessert.   We finally had a nice day in Chicago yesterday!  When Jenn and I went on our walk...

I made a batch of bagels the night before last.  While I posted my skinny bagels in December, lately I’ve just been using my skinny pizza dough for the bagels, skip the boiling step of the bagels, and they turn out just as good. I happened to be watching This is Us (season finale already?!) and I shaped the bagels, brushed them with an egg...

I am happy to be a Jennie-O turkey ambassador for 2018.  They are kind enough to send me products to try out.  My only complaint?  This package of turkey breast was shipped in a big box with giant ice blocks for this one product – um, next time, you can just send me a coupon and save on all the packaging. 😀  But thank you!!...

Cacio e Pepe This cacio e pepe is a great weeknight dinner because it’s ready in about 15 minutes.  It’s okay to eat pasta on Weight Watchers! I started feeling a bit achy on Monday.  A bit of a cough, but didn’t feel too bad.  Yesterday at work?  I must have sneezed 100 times and munched on cough drops all.day.long.   It’s the kind of sick...

Yes, you are reading correctly, I added chives to these mini cheddar chive bacon biscuits - so good and only 3 points each.

  I have received several comments telling me that I should stop worrying about my weight, and if I am happy with my life, why don’t I just focus on the positives.  Which I do, but I know I will feel better at least 25 pounds less – then I can happily maintain that weight. Since being back “on” Tuesday, I didn’t know what my...

I was expecting to have a productive day yesterday clearing a bunch of little stuff off my desk, but instead, with a couple secretaries out, I became the “go to girl” and it was a busy day.  I didn’t even eat this breakfast until nearly 10:00!  1 1/4 cup shredded potatoes cooked in 1 teaspoon grape seed oil (2), 3 ounces of steak (3) and...

Sausage stuffed chicken parm will be on the top of your recipes you need to make. While I didn’t fully meal plan this week, I definitely meal prepped.  Some weeks the meal plan comes to me in minutes, and other times I struggle to come up with ideas – and all I do is look at food, Pinterest, blogs, you would think that it would...
