Breakfast

I took 238 pictures from Friday night until last night.  I may have a bit of a problem. 😀  It was a good long weekend.  I didn’t really have any plans except with my Mom yesterday.  It was a nice balance of productivity, cooking and lazy.  I will admit that we ordered pizza on Saturday night and I may have eaten half of a small...

I slept through my Weight Watchers meeting on Saturday.  Somewhat intentional and not intentional at the same time.  I’ve been off track since I had my cold and it’s taking me a while to get back on track.  I did step on my scale though, and if I remember correctly, I think I am up 1.4 for the week. I did a lot of meal...

These Premier Protein Blueberry Scones are so good!   I’ve talked about my love of scones on this blog over the years.  The first one that stole my heart was the one from Starbuck’s – the cinnamon chip one – swoon!  Um, turns out it’s 21 smart points though – or basically the equivalent of two meals. I wanted to try yet another version using Premier...

Friday night pajama party!  I had the pleasure of having these two littles over Friday night for a sleep over.  I went to their house to grill up some chicken pitas and brought mac n cheese for the kids.  After we ate, I scooped the girls in my car and brought them home.  I live less than 10 minutes from their house.  Their Momma?  Called...

Every once in a while I impress myself with recipes.  You see I write a lot of my recipes in a book, while I am on the train.  I never know exactly how they will turn out, although truth be told, they all turn out great in my head.  When I opened my oven door and saw these beautiful mile high biscuits I squeaked with...

So I told you I’ve been reading The Miracle Morning (check out this link for more info).  I am only 1/4 of the way through (I am a slow reader when it comes to books!) but you basically wake up earlier than you normally would to do the things YOU want to do, whatever it is.  They can be broken into 10 minute intervals –...

If you follow me on Instagram, you will have noticed that I had an impromptu day off on Friday.  Sadly, there was another suicide on my line, and it happened on the train in front of me.  I got on the train at 7:40 a.m. – the accident happened down the line at 7:45, and within minutes of leaving our station, our train ground to...

It still boggles my mind how much I used to eat back in the day.  Fast food at least once, sometimes twice a day.  Buying snacks for the train ride to work, only to fix my breakfast as soon as I got to work around 9, then eating lunch by noon.  One of my go to muffins was from Oak Park Bakery – the banana...

Friday night was of course, Party Pizza Friday.  I normally pick up a frozen deep dish to cook at home, but the problem with that?  Leftovers.  And Lou Malnati’s is not that point friendly.  I looked up their menu on the train ride home Friday night, and realized they had a tiny personal deep dish pizza that serves 1!  It looks big in this picture,...

Friday night I had Tony’s nephews and their families over for a BBQ.  It’s been way too long since we’ve been together, and I realize I have to make these get togethers happen, otherwise, the next thing you know we’ll look up and it’s Christmas! These two little cutes were so fun.  Hazel (love her name!) was just an infant the last time I saw...
