Beef

Thanks for all your kind comments on yesterdays post.  I mainly wrote that for my future self.  A year from now I didn’t want to look back at my blog posts and think “is all she thought about was fucking food?!”  I have to just write that stuff to just get it off my chest so to speak, so thank you for listening. I didn’t...

It was a wonderful weekend.  Although I have to realize that if we do a lot on Saturday, Tony is usually wiped out on Sunday.  But it actually worked out okay – we get to spend Saturday together, and then Sunday, he relaxes watching football, and I, of course, am Bizzy in my Kitchen! Saturday we went to Wok N Fire before going to the...

You all know that I LOVE Instagram.  I am finding so many cool people to follow.  Not surprisingly, I do follow a lot of chefs, famous or not.  Some who are going through culinary school (#jealous!) and Chef’s like Graham Elliot, who actually takes a lot of pictures of his wife and says stuff like “I can’t believe this hottie married me!”  Aw, so cute! ...

My Bizzy Kitchen | From the kitchen of the Biggest Diabetic Loser: a healthy balance of food and exercise. . . while keeping blood sugars normal! I ended up doing 15 minutes of Classical Stretch before work in anticipation of me doing my first leg strength workout in a long time. I’ve talked about Classical Stretch over the years, but whenever my body starts to...

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...
