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...

We were having a luncheon at work yesterday, so I wanted a light breakfast.  Plain Chobani yogurt, strawberries and bananas, with my homemade granola.  This is the loose stuff that’s left over from my granola clusters, which is perfect in a parfait. It was a busy morning.  We had to make an errand before lunch, then pick up lunch, come back set it up.  It...

Thanks for all the comments and emails yesterday about my overeating.  First, nice to know I am not alone, and second, I know I can do this.  I know I can do the work, eat healthy and get myself in better shape.  I just need to make it happen instead of waiting for it to happen. So I put on my big girl pants yesterday...

Thanks for all the tips for apps for my new phone!  Okay, you guys are going to laugh, but that’s okay.  I love Instagram.  I like being able to take a picture, use the features to fix it up to post to Facebook.  A while back people started following me.  A.  I don’t know how people found me, and B. I had no idea why...

Jack in the Box Taco Recipe! This Jack in the Box Taco Recipe will be your go to taco recipe.  So good!  Weight Watchers friendly too! This recipe first published in 2013 and has now finally been updated 10 years later! My late husband loved Jack in the Box tacos, but sadly they closed all of their Illinois locations long ago. These tacos ARE THE...

Today is back to reality.  Back to work.  No sleeping in snuggling with Tony like I did the last four days.  Let’s just say that it was a tad hard to get up this morning! But it was a great weekend.  Although we didn’t get to see as much of Joe and Lizz as we wanted, we were grateful for the time we got.  Lizz...

Thanks for all the kind comments yesterday about my day spent with my family!  Glad you think Charlie looks as good as I think he does. 😀 I have Jacky to thank for my breakfast yesterday.  A while back she posted a recipe for a cauliflower buffalo dip that looked amaze balls. But I never ended up making this because I went to Virginia, so I...

It’s my bosses birthday today, but she’s taking the day off today so I brought in bagels yesterday for the office for a birthday breakfast.  I have to say, without eggs in the middle a plain bagel doesn’t keep you full for long.  I had a sesame bagel with about 2 teaspoons of light veggie cream cheese. I was totally looking forward to biking or...

I am loving the emails and comments on how everyone is liking my Inspirational Diet!  I am three days in and I have to say its given me a renewed purpose.  I was just going through the motions with WW.  I am not saying I don’t like the program, because I do.  But I just lost my mojo on it. I can’t tell you the...
