Beef

A while back I mentioned that I was being interviewed for Diabetes Forecast magazine.  I talked to the reporter for about 30 minutes about how I carb count, how I handle insulin and exercise.  Well, I got one tiny paragraph – but at least I am number one! Check out the article here – and pass it along to any diabetic family or friends you...

Turns out my new camera has a little flashy thing that tells me when my battery is REALLY low – so there is no picture of my breakfast – but it was 2 ounces of leftover pepper steak, peppers and cheese stuffed into a hallowed out 2 ounce baked potato – such a filling breakfast for only 6 points! So guess who’s caught the running...

It was so nice to cook dinner last night and it was still light out.  Now I just can’t wait to bring out our gazebo chairs and be able to sit outside – that’s one of our favorite things to do at night. 😀 Yesterdays breakfast was a favorite, and each time I have it I wonder why I wait so long between eating it. ...

One of my goals this year is to take more group classes.  On Friday I saw that there was a 30 minute spin class on Saturday morning, so I got my ass up at 6:30 a.m. to make the 7:00 WW meeting so it wouldn’t interfere with that spin class. I am not at all upset with a -.6.  I am a complete emotional eater,...

It took Tony, Hannah and I over 90 minutes to shovel and snow plow our drive and deck.  It actually felt really good, the sun was shining and I really worked up a sweat!  I entered the activity into eTools and discovered I’d only earned 4 activity points – WTF?! We don’t have a garage, so we had to first dig out the last car...

I was all set to go to the gym yesterday morning.  Bathing suit laid out, gym bag packed, granola bar in purse.  The only problem?  I woke up an hour and fifteen minutes later than I intended!   My alarm did go off at six, but my “just one more minute” turned into a lot more.  But not to worry, I decided to make today a...

I shared the remainder of my reuben quiche with a couple co-workers yesterday, and they both agreed it was delicious!  Especially my one co-worker – she and I are Reuben geeks – we even compare notes when we’ve tried a new one.  So I had the last 1/4 for my breakfast yesterday. I also had my first orange of the season – can’t wait to...

Since I knew I was going to be having pizza and cake later yesterday afternoon, my breakfast was simple – two Nature’s Path granola bars – am I the only one that loves crunchy granola bars? It was the perfect amount of fuel to do Level 1 of Jillian’s 30 day shred.  I am happy to report that I was able to do the push...

My Kitchen Addiction is the host for this weeks BSI – Lime!  I was glad that I was able to submit an entry – its been a few weeks since I have! I utilized lime in both my filling and in the sauce – zest went into the beef and bean mixture, and the juice of a whole lime went into the dip.  The dip...

I have to credit www.cooksillustrated.com for me NOT to overcook a beef roast.  Tony and I like our beef on the rare side.  Rare on a typical meat thermometer is 140 degrees.  The secret is to pull the meat off the grill at 125 degrees, let it rest for 20 minutes, and its a perfect medium rare every time.  We always cook our meat over...
