Breakfast

I realized I needed to use up some of the leftover pork roast from Labor Day, and what better use than to make breakfast taquitos!  Pretty sure I could eat any type of Mexican food any day or meal of the week and never get sick of it.  I used 3 Mission thin tortillas (4) and on the inside added 3 ounces of leftover pork...

I loved reading all your comments yesterday on my Blog Anniversary – so many readers who have stuck with me for years – I love it!  I forgot to mention that I am running my giveaway until I pick a winner on Friday – so good luck!  And, I did find out that my last giveaway recipient in Canada got my BBQ sauce!  It only...

I am trying to be better about not wasting food.  Hannah always loves an organized refrigerator where you can see everything.  She lines up items tallest to shortest in nice little rows so that she can see everything at a glance.  Me?  I am a pusher.  Just put what I want to put in the fridge in front, and push until I can shut the...

August 1st?  Really?  I can’t believe it.  This summer is going by way too fast, so I took the morning “off” and sat outside with Hannah this morning for a couple hours and we ate breakfast outside and chatted, caught up, watched youtube videos and drank coffee and water.  It was glorious! Last Friday I made a breakfast pizza, and a bunch of my WW...

As I was sitting through the rain delay at the farmers market yesterday, I loved reading all your ideas on pairing tomato sauce with eggs for breakfast!  I did end up making something delicious.  So simple and easy and this would be a great idea for a brunch to feed a crowd.  I made this dish two servings, but you could easily multiply it to...

I actually love my night farmers markets because it gives me time to actually prepare a decent breakfast and not be rushed.  It was already near 80 degrees when I woke up yesterday morning, and the forecast was temps in the low 90s, with a heat index near 100!  Perfect for working a farmers market, no?  Actually, I don’t mind the heat as much as...

It is not surprising that I had a gain going into my WI yesterday.  I thought maybe a couple pounds from vacation – note this is a two week WI, but still. When I saw 2.4 on the sticker, I thought “well, that’s not too bad!”  Um, no – that’s how much I am up from the first time I weighed in April – so...

So as it has been going lately, I gain a pound or .8 one week, then lose it the next week! So I am basically down .6 for the last 7 weeks.  I am hoping to get my act together and actually string two whole weeks in a row with a loss.  I ended up bringing my breakfast to the meeting.  It’s a bit of...

Yep, the queen of maintenance is what you can call me! Up .8 for the week, and up .4 since April 21, so basically the same as when I started going back to WW meetings.  And while I wish the scale was going down, I do know that being aware of what I eat has prevented me from being 200 pounds by now.  This last...

Last night I was pondering where I am in my life and how different things are.  Two years ago this past weekend, I was working a second job at Zeal: Tony had already been hospitalized locally three times by May of 2014.   In June, July and August was when we made our treks to Mayo Clinic.  All while holding down a full time job, but...
