I think I fell asleep dreaming about the brisket I had at my company BBQ.  And not a shocker, I knew I was going to incorporate it into my breakfast somehow.  Lordy, was this a delicious breakfast toast!  1.5 ounce sourdough bread toast (3) 2 ounces of the brisket chopped (3) scrambled with egg whites and topped with 1/2 an ounce of cheddar cheese (2)...

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know by now that I have a new job!  I accepted a job as a Class Assistant at The Chopping Block in both their Merchandise Mart and Lincoln Square locations, and I think this is the best decision I’ve made in a long time. But let’s back up a bit, shall we?  Several weeks ago you...

Good things are happening guys, and this week is going to be a very busy week for me.  I can’t go into details just yet, but for this week, the blog has to take a back seat to my life.  I promise I’ll share my news next Monday!

The highlight of my weekend though was going to my friend...

Oh my gosh.  What a whirlwind weekend this was!   I took a half day on Friday and 12:30 couldn’t come soon enough so I could start my adventure  (My new hashtag I have for stuff like this is #adventure2015!).  I love, love, love the navigation system I have with my car, I just listened to what she said and before I knew it, my hotel...

Tony and I had a great weekend – Monday mornings seem to come too soon, I could really use another day off. Most of this post will be in pictures – Tony made me a delicious breakfast on Saturday, I ate everything but the bagel because it had started to turn moldy – while it didn’t have any mold on it, it tasted moldy –...
