Dinner

Long time readers will kind of laugh at the title of this blog post because every time I try a new pizza dough recipe, I declare it the best I’ve ever had!  I really have no idea where my love affair with pizza came from, because we didn’t eat it all that often growing up.  Maybe because it was such a treat and not a...

I don’t even know who won the election. I stayed up with the kadults until nearly midnight, but finally had to call it a night and go to bed.  I only looked at my phone to turn off my alarm this morning, so I’ll wait a while longer to see who won.  Ignorance is bliss, right? It only took me 5 minutes to vote.  I...

I had to laugh when I was waiting for the train yesterday to go to work.  It’s the middle of October, leaves are starting to change yet the weather was around 76 degrees.  I saw some women in sundresses and flip flops, while others had already made the fashion fall turn and were wearing UGG boots, sweaters and scarves. I ate a banana on my...

This is going to be a very disjointed post, so just be prepared I am blogging late because I slept in until the last dog was hung before having to get my ass out of bed to Weight Watchers, which I haven’t been to in the last three weeks.  My eats and schedule have been all over the map, and I am realizing that I...

Stuffed Shells with Cherry Tomato Sauce 2025 Update:  I’ve used so many recipe cards during the last almost seventeen years of this blog, and the recipe card for these Stuffed Shells with Cherry Tomato Sauce was missing from this post, so it has been updated.  I decided to leave the rest of this post as is from 2016. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ I woke up yesterday morning at...

The Best Gluten Free Pizza This is the best gluten free pizza dough. I’ve talked about the Cooking Club that I am in here and here.  My friend Courtney is generous enough to host it at her house every month.  Each month Courtney picks out a “head chef” for the night, and depending on what that cook wants to make, will dictate the rest of...

It felt so good to start my day with stretching – it kind of eased my way into the day.  It’s been in the low 30s in the morning still around here, so it was nice to be comfy in my pjs doing stretches. I had a low carb breakfast yesterday.  Not that I am doing a low carb diet at all, but I think...

Thanks for all your sweet comments yesterday on my transformation Tuesday!  I have to tell you, just seeing that comparison photo has given me even more inspiration to keep doing what I am doing.  Making this a lifestyle and not a diet.  Truth be told though, it doesn’t really “taste” like a diet.  I haven’t really been counting calories – I only put stuff into...

Cincinnati Chili Recipe Not sure if this is an authentic Cincinnati Chili recipe, but it’s delish!  My late husband loved it because it has no beans, but feel free to add some if you like.  As of 2025, this chili recipe is ZERO Weight Watchers points. I am updating this post with a printable recipe card, and updated photography on how we used this chili...

Best Fried Chicken. Ever. Update:  Slowly I am working on updating old posts with recipe cards.  This is the best fried chicken. ever. that I have ever made! I know people think its funny that Tony doesn’t try like much of the food I make.  Whenever he reads a comment that says “I wish I worked with you Biz!” he says “but they haven’t had...
