Breakfast

Okay, I have to be honest, I’ve been seeing Green Monsters around food blogs for literally years.  The thought of drinking a spinach drink just turned me off.  But I’ve always kept the idea in the back of my head as if “some day” I’ll try one. As luck would have it, my store had bunches of spinach on sale for .50 cents a bunch. ...

What a great weekend we had!  The weather had a slight fall feel to it – fall is my favorite season of the year.  Not sure if its because that’s when school started and its like a clean slate, but my ideal temperature is between 50-60 degrees. I have to give a shout out to O Olive Oil.  A while back I entered a recipe...

Since reading my new work out book that there are good times and bad times to have starchy foods, I decided to use some leftover mashed potatoes to make some zucchini breakfast pancakes. Mind you, these are not the crispy versions you probably are used to seeing with the crunchy edges. These are more like mashed potato pancakes with a zucchini flavor – fluffy, light...

Thanks for all the kind comments yesterday about my day spent with my family!  Glad you think Charlie looks as good as I think he does. 😀 I have Jacky to thank for my breakfast yesterday.  A while back she posted a recipe for a cauliflower buffalo dip that looked amaze balls. But I never ended up making this because I went to Virginia, so I...

I had leftover dough from our deep dish pizza night and its been ages since I made a breakfast pizza.  This time it was ham, fresh basil, one egg, 4 ounces of pizza dough and 1 ounce of mozzarella cheese. I put it in the oven and then tried and tried to get our dog out.  Tony had already left for an early Monday morning...

I think yesterday was my perfect temperature day – it was 64 degrees when I woke up, it didn’t get hotter than 73 degrees.  Last night we had a cool breeze coming through the window requiring just a light blanket.  Now if I can only find a place that stays like that I’d be a happy camper! Right now it’s 51 degrees – by Thursday...

Just as I was fired up to get to the gym, or do any kind of workout, life got in the way yesterday.  If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.  But I love all my workout buddies who offered to help me this week – you guys rock! Had I made my quiche on Sunday, I wouldn’t have had to get up early...

We’ve been lucky to have a string of absolutely perfect weather.  Sunny, puffy white clouds, low 70’s.  I love that it gets down to 50 degrees at night.   If I could, I’d have all the windows open in my house and sleep under a down comforter.   But alas, Tony would likely kick me out of bed. 😀 I repeated yesterdays breakfast, just subbed out the...

A woman hosts a luncheon and she serves lobster rolls.  Everyone raved about them! They had fresh lobster, mayo, lemon zest, celery with a hint of lemon juice and lemon zest, served on a fresh baked bun – heaven!  She passed out the recipe.  One of her friends said “I made your lobster roll and it was awful!”  The woman didn’t know what to say,...

I am loving the emails and comments on how everyone is liking my Inspirational Diet!  I am three days in and I have to say its given me a renewed purpose.  I was just going through the motions with WW.  I am not saying I don’t like the program, because I do.  But I just lost my mojo on it. I can’t tell you the...
