Beef

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,...

You’ll want to print out this Best Beef Marinade Ever and use it on any cut of beef.  But first, a recap of my weekend: Ah, what a great weekend!  The weather was perfect, and it was a great balance of productive and relaxing. My friend Alison texted me that “if you are bored . . .” that they were just hanging out in their...

It’s cruel that Mother Nature can give us temps in the 60s in February, and then hit us with rain/possible snow/30mph winds when it’s almost Easter.  The kadults had work early yesterday morning, so when they leave, the dogs come into my room and snuggle for another hour with me until I have to get up.  Let me tell you, its hard to get up...
