Beef

I am happy to say that I have used up a good part of the sirloin tip roast I made over the weekend.  We had it Sunday night, Thursday night I made myself a beef, red pepper and spinach quesadilla, and I decided Thursday night to use beef in all three of my meals yesterday! First up?  Roast beef hash.  I’ve talked about canned diced...

I opened one of the Cabot Cheese’s I was sent over a week ago, and it was the star in both breakfast and lunch.  Alpine Cheddar! After I published yesterday’s post, I went to take pictures of the honey roasted almond bars I made, only to realize I left the camera on all night, so the battery was dead.  I brought my charger to work...

It’s been way too long of me sitting on the side lines these last few months.  I don’t know if I am having a mid-life crisis or what, but ever since Tony went to the Mayo Clinic this summer, I haven’t been able to keep it together.  Sure, on the outside you wouldn’t know that I am any different.  But with the fear of the...

Today my husband turns 54!  We met the year he turned 40.  I’ll never forget that birthday.  Tony’s parents had already retired to Florida, but their house here was still on the market.  Tony lived there, and when we met, we would live at my house M-F, then pick up Joe on Friday night and head to Tony’s parents house for the weekend.  It was...

This work week actually went by pretty fast.  It felt weird coming straight home from work last night and not heading to the restaurant.  Hopefully it will be busy tonight. Friday’s tend to be “see what’s left in the fridge that you can use up” kind of meal plan.  I had leftover grilled flank steak, I had some French bread, and a breakfast panini idea...

Turns out winter doesn’t quite want to loosen it’s grip on us just yet.  I seriously cannot remember a worse winter, and I lived through the Blizzard of 78! I found this picture online for Tony.  He said in the blizzard of 1978 he would be driving down a road and it was a wall of snow on either side and a narrow path for...

I didn’t expect it to be so cold when I left for work.  -8 degrees!   I don’t know why I thought that just because the calendar says February, our weather would get any better.  And now we have more snow on the way – lovely! I made another batch of Nicole’s Olive Oil (aka crack!) granola over the weekend, not only for me but for...

My breakfast was amazeballs you guys.  I took two of the leftover biscuits from our Stovetop Chicken pot pie.  I cooked up 1/2 a cup of egg whites, and then at work assembled my breakfast biscuits – 1 ounce of ham, 1/2 the egg white, baby spinach and 1/2 ounce of cheese, then put it under the broiler for the cheese to get all melty. ...

I was trying to do too much before work yesterday.  Laundry, making pancakes, pan frying chicken breasts for panini’s, blogging, etc.  I got half way to work and my phone told me I had a comment.  It was from Carrie (hi Carrie!) and her first question was: 1. Homemade Stirfry Sauce? When I got to work I realized I completely skipped over my recipe and...

I am hoping we’ll have a string of days with no rain.  Not sure how much more rain our Fox River can handle.  Our poor neighbors on the channel have water half way up their back door, and there is just no where to pump the water.  Here’s a picture of our county – so crazy! We only got a small amount of water in...
