Breakfast

My one goal yesterday was to get my holiday gift baskets out to family.  I spent a couple hours each night last week making different things – cranberry and nut brittle, Chex Mix, white chocolate and cranberry cookies, and chocolate snowball cookies. My dining room table looked like an assembly line with plastic containers of baked goods – my goal was to pack up all...

Thanks for all your continued support as I complete Day 3 of the Paleo diet.  I think I successfully raised my carbs enough to meet the RDA minimum for diabetics.  While I know Rich believes that this diet benefits diabetics, I still need to do what works for me. 😀 Long time readers know that I typically steer towards eggs/savory breakfasts.  I thought I would...

I was an okay student.  If I really put my mind to something, like a project, I would give it 110%.  Daily homework however, hardly happened, or maybe happened the morning it was due.  I think I graduated high school with a 2.9 – enough to get me into college, but probably barely. Which is why I don’t know where my daughter gets her school...

I don’t even know where Tony heard of this recipe, but this one is a winner.  And it was nice to just sit back and have breakfast made for me. 😀  And these are perfect if you are following a gluten free diet. Popcorn Flour Pancakes (haven’t figured out the points yet!) 4 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons baking powder 3 cups popcorn flour 1/2 teaspoon...

Thanks for all your kind comments to yesterday’s post – you guys are the best and have some great ideas.  I agree with a fresh mouthwashed mouth I’ll have less temptation to mess it up – and have deemed the bedroom a beverage and food free zone, except for water.  😀 I am really starting to like sweet potatoes, and while I am still on...

When Tony and I went out to eat the other night I got sweet potato fries.  I didn’t eat them all and was going to just leave them on the plate until Tony said “can’t you make a sweet potato hash with those?” Genius.  This breakfast was so good!  Slightly sweet, savory . . . yum! Sweet Potato Hash (serves 1 for 8 WW points...

I love sleep.  So after sleeping in until 10:00 and 10:30 respectively over the weekend, let’s just say the only thing that made me get out of bed at a decent hour was that I wanted to make a breakfast calzone for breakfast. I had leftover pizza dough from a while back – I almost like the dough better the longer it sits in the fridge. ...

I think these are my new favorite pancakes.  They are light, fluffy, slightly sweet, crunchy.  Thanks Jenn for the idea of these!  And if I ever find myself in Seattle – we are definitely getting together! 😀 I kinda just made these up with what I had on hand.  I had buttermilk, so I decided to make banana, granola buttermilk pancakes.  Each pancake is 3...

Let’s get to the fun stuff right away – to see who won my 550,000 pageview giveaway from Friday. 😀  And the winner is . . . True Random Number Generator Min: Max: Result: 19   (um, 19 is my favorite number!)

Hi guys!  Well, with storms the last couple days, I have been off the computer – we need to unplug it when the weather gets bad, just in case.  I am finally logging on this morning with bright blue skies and warm weather – love it! One of my bosses eats granola just about every day.  We have a busy work week coming up, so...
