Breakfast

Premier Protein my friends is your new BFF for Weight Loss.  I get a lot of requests each week to partner with certain products, links to articles, advertising – most of which I just immediately delete after receiving them because I am not going to promote anything that I don’t already use, or think that other people will find value with. I am happy to...

I have five words to say about this weekend.  I ate all the food.  I didn’t eat a lot of one thing (i.e. deep dish pizza by myself), but I ate a lot of little things.  I didn’t track all my food. I woke up with a taste for apple fritters, but cooler heads prevailed and I made a hash waffle.  This time topped it...

These steel cut oat waffles are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside – so good! ++++++++++++++++= I love Saturday and Sunday mornings because there is no rush.  I can get up, make my Chemex coffee, sip on that for a while before thinking about what I want for breakfast.  Lately I’ve been in a waffle mood.  I was short on flour, so decided...

There are a lot of people at my office who are on Weight Watchers, which I love.   More people to talk about point friendly food!  One woman though the day before yesterday only ate strawberries and grapes for breakfast and wondered why she was starving at 11:00 a.m.   I asked if she had any protein, hard boiled egg, deli ham, anything else?  Nope.  I told...

There is temptation all around me every day working in Chicago.  From the coffee shop across from my train station that has THE BEST glazed donuts, to all the food stalls at the train station, the nearly 20 restaurants within a two block radius of my office – it’s everywhere! Lately though, I’ve had a taste for a giant muffin.  You know the ones I...

For some reason lately I’ve had a taste for pancakes.   Friday night I worked as the night secretary.  I actually volunteer when the opportunity arises because it’s overtime and a lot of times no one needs help, so I get the peace and quiet with no interruptions and actually get a lot done.   I didn’t get home until nearly 9 p.m. on Friday night and...

My sister and I vowed that good or bad, we’d show up every week to Weight Watchers.  I’ve already talked about how my eating was this last week – 35 weekly points spent on Sunday and Monday night alone, and my 56 point day on Hannah’s birthday, so I honestly thought that I would have a gain of at least 3 pounds.  I just woke...

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...
