Breakfast

I think I am going to have to start eating my breakfast on the way to work.  I normally am not hungry right when I get up, and my coffee is fine for the hour train ride to work.  But lately I’ve hit the ground running and yesterday didn’t even heat up my breakfast until nearly 10. [mpprecipe-recipe:2] These spinach waffles are so good.  I...

I am sure I am not the only one that eats/sleeps/dreams of food pretty much all day.  If I am not meal planning, I am grocery shopping, meal prepping – the list goes on and I basically love it.  Except there are only so many hours in the day that I can actually spend in my kitchen during the week.   So my Pinterest page of...

I don’t know what it was about Friday, but I was snacky as shit.  I normally don’t have wine in the house anymore, but I had 1/3 of a bottle left from my #livefully  party which was 10 ounces – or basically a point an ounce.  After that it was crazy.  I found myself looking for something to eat like every 15 minutes!  But I...

I finally got a chance to download my pictures from the weekend.  I had such a great time at Kendall College for the high school culinary semi-finals, and saw some of the same people from last year which was nice. The students practiced three separate menus and didn’t know until last Friday morning when they got to the college what menu they would be doing. ...

I don’t normally blog on the weekends, but wanted to provide a link to share these delicious banana and blueberry pancakes.  While I was writing the recipe down as I went along, in my head I thought for sure they’d be about 7 smart points a serving, but after I put it in the WW recipe builder, 1/2 a serving, or 3 pancakes, came in...

Hopefully I am on the road to recovery.  I was still hacking up a lung on Saturday, and I literally spent most of the day on my couch, no matter how many things I put into my journal that I want to get accomplished this weekend.  Oh, like my holiday gift boxes I still haven’t sent – promise family you’ll get them before Valentine’s Day!...

I had such a fun day yesterday.  I spent nearly all day in the kitchen and it made me very happy.  The kadults were around in the morning, then headed to work, so I had the house to myself from about 11:00 – 6:30 p.m.  Don’t get me wrong, I love having them here, but it is nice to have a quiet house, blaring my...

It was so nice to have three days off in a row! Makes me appreciate the time off that much more after working seven days a week for several weeks. But the best part about this holiday is that I didn’t over commit, stress shop, or anything like that. In fact, I did all the shopping for the kadults on Christmas Eve. I already knew...

I love cast iron skillets.  Over the years I may have collected, um, let’s say 11 of them?  Here’s the deal though.  I bought all of them at garage sales because they were rusty and had $1 price tag on them.  Guys, if you ever find a cast iron skillet at a garage sale – buy it!  9 out of the 11 cast iron skillets...
