Eggs in Purgatory

Eggs in Purgatory
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...

Sales is My Jam

Sales is My Jam
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...

Shit Just Got Real

Shit Just Got Real
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...

Brave or Stupid

Brave or Stupid
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...

Potato Crusted Quiche

Potato Crusted Quiche
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...

Banana Chobani Muffins

Banana Chobani Muffins
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...

Skinny Pie Crust

Skinny Pie Crust
Um, Mother Nature, not sure if you got the memo or not, but it’s MAY and I’d really like to see the sun like every single day and have temps in the high 60s at the very least! I am sure she’ll read this later and we’ll have more spring like weather in the near future.  You’re welcome. I had actually planned on going to...

Hacked and Sick

Hacked and Sick
If you are friends with me on Facebook, then you’ll know that my account got hacked over the weekend.  I knew something was weird when I saw over a dozen instant messages pop up one right after the other in the matter of a minute.  Um, turns out someone was using my Facebook account to send a porn video of all things.  It had my...

I just want to take a second and thank everyone for their comments on yesterday’s blog post, as well as text messages, instant message on Facebook and comments on Instagram – I have the best virtual support group anyone could ever have!  It means more to me than you’ll ever know, but just wanted to say . . . thank you!  It’s weird how the...

Banana Pecan Scones with Dark Chocolate Drizzle

Banana Pecan Scones with Dark Chocolate Drizzle
I’ve had such fun days this week.  Wednesday I had lunch with an old field hockey friend.  We’ve lived in the same town 15 years and ran into each other once like 10 years ago at Bed Bath & Beyond.  She gave me her phone number then, but I brought it home, set it on the counter, it got wet and I couldn’t read her...
