Beef

Oh how I wish he was here.  While he didn’t ever want to make a big deal out of his birthday, that just wasn’t an option when you are married to me.  I’d think long and hard on the menu, the gifts, etc.  When I think back to his last birthday, I obviously didn’t know at the time that it would be his last.  I’ve...

Before I do a recap for of my weekend I have to ask Victoria Z to contact me for the win for my 8 year blog anniversary.  It’s all ready to be shipped, just need an address!  And I have to share with you my breakfast/lunch/brunch last Thursday.  I am still trying to tweak my eats when I work.  Thursday I just decided to eat...

I loved reading all your comments yesterday on my Blog Anniversary – so many readers who have stuck with me for years – I love it!  I forgot to mention that I am running my giveaway until I pick a winner on Friday – so good luck!  And, I did find out that my last giveaway recipient in Canada got my BBQ sauce!  It only...

Another market day yesterday meant a bigger breakfast.  I tried to see if I could use Olivio spray on my breakfast grilled cheese. The answer to that questions is a big fat no.  While it browned my bread, it didn’t make it crisp like a buttered grilled cheese – next time I’ll spend the extra point for 1 teaspoon of butter.  The inside tasted good! ...

I had a very productive day yesterday!  I think I am getting used to all the manual labor, because I wasn’t as lethargic yesterday like I normally am after working markets two days in a row.  #winning!  I made a list of everything I wanted to get done, and did it all except get gas, but I can do that today.  It was gorgeous out...

So after three completely different job interviews, I’ve decided to work Farmers Markets this summer.  Right now I am on the schedule for three a week – Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.  The reason I chose this job is because I love the idea of being outdoors working in the summer.  Just remind me when it’s 95 degrees and I am melting.  And second, it will...

Since I had no idea what I was going to be having for lunch with my Mom yesterday, I played it safe and had a five point breakfast.  I made up a bunch of waffles and took one from the freezer and popped it in the toaster – it takes a couple times to thaw and cook it from the freezer, but it tastes as...

Spicy Thai Red Curry Beef I first made this Thai red curry beef in 2016.  Declared it delicious and in true blogging fashion, never made it again until this week.  So I am keeping the original post below so you can see how crazy my blogging style was back then. In all seriousness, this dish will be on the regular rotation.  With the new Weight...

Loyal readers will be happy to hear that I will be back to blogging five days a week!  I have so many new recipes to share, that I don’t want to overload a post with too much stuff, so I’ll be spreading out the recipes Monday-Friday.  So those of you who wake up, get your coffee and then check up on what I am up...

I’ve been kind of going through the motions with Weight Watchers.  I know the smart point meals I make are on point.  That’s not the problem.  The problem is all those little “extras” that never seem to get added to my WW app.  The hazelnut creamer in my coffee x 4+ times a day.  The extra glasses of wine while away.  The bites of Cheetos...
