Dinner

Pan Seared Chuck Roast with Onion Rings You will love this pan seared chuck roast with onion rings. Yes, you read that correctly, I made onion rings!       “Biz, you can’t make a chuck roast on a weeknight right when you get home!”  But I am here to tell you that yes, yes you can!  A chuck roast can go by many names...

I made it the whole week without doing a full grocery shop – whoop!  I think I spent about $5 on fruit (not counting the farmers market yesterday) but that’s about it.  It really makes you use up the food you already have, and I think I could easily go another week without shopping.  But that’s silly talk.  I’ve been gone the last two weekends,...

This grilled pizza needs to be in your life! *********************** I’ve been tracking like a boss this week and guess what?  It’s not been that hard.  When I take the time to put my food together and bring it with me, I am much better at eating what I brought, then if I tell myself “I’ll just pick up something healthy when I get downtown.” ...

Another busy Monday is in the books.  I knew it was going to be steady busy, so I was mentally prepared for it.  Even though I would have rather hung out with my brother and his family before they left last night.  Such is life! I made this quick picky plate for breakfast.  Hannah and Jacob bought cantaloupe last week and hadn’t cut it yet...

The best part about making waffles is that you can have breakfast for days.  I made another waffle breakfast sammie yesterday.  1/2 of my Bolthouse Farms Protein Waffle (3) an egg, spinach, ham (1) 1/2 once of cheese (2) sugar free pancake syrup (1) and tangerines for dessert.   We finally had a nice day in Chicago yesterday!  When Jenn and I went on our walk...

I made a batch of bagels the night before last.  While I posted my skinny bagels in December, lately I’ve just been using my skinny pizza dough for the bagels, skip the boiling step of the bagels, and they turn out just as good. I happened to be watching This is Us (season finale already?!) and I shaped the bagels, brushed them with an egg...

I am happy to be a Jennie-O turkey ambassador for 2018.  They are kind enough to send me products to try out.  My only complaint?  This package of turkey breast was shipped in a big box with giant ice blocks for this one product – um, next time, you can just send me a coupon and save on all the packaging. 😀  But thank you!!...

Cacio e Pepe This cacio e pepe is a great weeknight dinner because it’s ready in about 15 minutes.  It’s okay to eat pasta on Weight Watchers! I started feeling a bit achy on Monday.  A bit of a cough, but didn’t feel too bad.  Yesterday at work?  I must have sneezed 100 times and munched on cough drops all.day.long.   It’s the kind of sick...

I was expecting to have a productive day yesterday clearing a bunch of little stuff off my desk, but instead, with a couple secretaries out, I became the “go to girl” and it was a busy day.  I didn’t even eat this breakfast until nearly 10:00!  1 1/4 cup shredded potatoes cooked in 1 teaspoon grape seed oil (2), 3 ounces of steak (3) and...
