My friend Beth talked about getting together for brunch and we decided to see who else might like to join us?  Full details will be posted tomorrow, but it will be in Schaumburg at 10:30 a.m. – most likely at Granite City.  If you are interested, please let me know in the comments!  You can also email me too:  mybizzykitchen@gmail.com.  I plan on doing another...

Cooking Club Season Four!  Our second gathering of our “year” which runs the school calendar year.  We meet every other month, usually on a Thursday night, and Courtney is our gracious hostess.  I put my friend Catherine and I in the middle because we are team #noonions!!  We always know that our respective dishes will not have any onions. 😀 Is there anything better than...

I have no internet on the train this morning – it happens! So I am blogging from my phone – so this is going to be the shortest post evah! Chia pudding was breakfast – I made it on Sunday so it was so thick – love. The trick is to stir it every morning and every night, otherwise the seeds fall to the bottom...

I hope everyone had a great Halloween!  Me? It was just another day.  But I lived vicariously through my friends who have little kids and we had an amazing weather day in Chicago, which rarely happens on Halloween.  Seriously we had some years when on October 30 it was 70 degrees and then on Halloween we’d have sleet/snow that would require snow boots and winter...

Oh hello.  I am about to show you the most pitiful day of eats.  Well, except for that bone broth!  I forgot I had these in my deep freezer.  They were buried under piles of meat – ha!   Nona Lim sent me a variety of their bone broths, and they are delicious.  This one is barely 1 point or 25 calories.  They can now be...

What a wonderful weekend!  It started out on Friday night when I was on my way home from work, and my roommates (aka Hannah and Jacob) texted me and asked if I wanted to meet them for dinner.  Duh!  My advice to parents of adult children – if they ask you to go out – say yes!  It didn’t matter that I had weigh in...

One of the questions I get asked most on Instagram posts, especially my dinner posts, is why do I bother cooking just for myself after a long day of work.  Why bother? Well, one reason is that you guys know I love to cook, but second, I am worth it.  I am worth more than pouring a bowl of cereal or a heating up a...

My very berry sauce is so quick to make – less than 5 minutes from frozen fruit and you’ve got a delicious element to your breakfast parfait.  One cup frozen fruit (make sure it has no added sugar in the ingredient list – some frozen fruits add sugar) 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon corn starch and 1 teaspoon Splenda.  Put in a pan over medium...

I can’t believe it. I reached 10,000 followers on Instagram!  The one and only reason I wanted to reach this milestone is because I wanted the swipe up feature to bring people over to my blog.  As it stands now, someone would ask “Biz, where is the recipe?!”  I’d explain: “Go to my home page, click on the link in profile button, then hit the...

Happy Friday!  We made it.  Whew!  I have a question for you though – are you living your best life?  I’ve been listening to so many podcasts this week, and the bottom line is, while there is a lot of things you can’t control in your life, there are so many that you can – if you are willing to make that change. I can’t...
