Beef

Guys,  I think I made the best soup of my life.  And those of you who have followed me for a while know my love of soup and how many soups I’ve made over the years, so that’s saying a lot!  Ever since I saw a Beef Bone Broth Soup on the menu at The Dearborn, and then my sister and I couldn’t get in,...

Steak crostini – you’ll want this recipe in your back pocket for a super quick weeknight dinner! ************ Thanks again for all your well wishes for Hannah and Jacob!  I’ll give you a break from wedding pics today – mainly because her friend is still editing them and Hannah hasn’t looked through all of them yet.  I crack myself up because I’ll yell from the...

I woke up early to walk before work yesterday, but it was raining pretty hard, so I went to Plan B.  Waffles!  I am going to sound like an asshole now, but my homemade waffles are better than this mix, but I had a coupon for a free box and it’s been in my pantry.  These are good in a pinch though.  Each waffle is...

This shrimp lo mein could not be easier or more delicious! Friday night I posted my dinner on Instagram and Connect, and I got all sorts of messages “recipe please!”  There isn’t really a recipe because there are only four ingredients, but I thought I’d post it here for reference. This is my favorite stir fry sauce – only 1 smart point per tablespoons and...

The first time that I heard about Bone Broth was on the Food Network.  They were at a New York restaurant called Brodo that had a walk up window where you could be a steamy cup of bone broth.  The first batch I made I used chicken feet a couple years ago.  That apparently set someone off, enough to have them write about me on...

Stay tuned for the beef fried rice recipe below – it will be quicker than take out! Hannah and Jacob had a friend over on Sunday for Sunday dinner.  I made ribs, onion rings and an apple crisp.  When I woke up sick yesterday morning, my first thought was “I hope it wasn’t the food!”  I texted the kadults later yesterday morning, and they were...

See that +2.6 from last week?  That week I tracked everything, got a blue dot every day, and had no alcohol.  And was up 2.6. This week I had a snacky Father’s Day weekend, had wine, did a little bit of emotional eating with another holiday without Tony, and I lose a pound.  I did kill it on the steps, so I am assuming that...

I can’t say enough good things about these Lavash wraps.  The texture, how easy they are to turn into wraps without tearing, how filling – I can’t wait to try making a pizza with one on my baking steel. I found them on the same aisle as the bread and tortillas at Walmart.  Although I will say that they are out of them a lot,...

It was already a balmy 60 degrees when I left the house yesterday morning – love!  I think my ideal temps would be from 50-70 degrees, no humidity. That’s not too much to ask of Chicago, is it?!   I made a mason jar parfait for my train breakfast – one container Chobani (2), strawberries, bananas, a little drizzle of sugar free pancake syrup and...

I got up early yesterday to make sure I had a decent breakfast to start my day off on the right foot.  Just a simple egg white omelette with ham, spinach and cheese (6) with fresh fruit.  I cooked the omelette while I was in the shower.  I just pour the ham and egg whites in a skillet with a lid, turn it on low,...
