Pork

I find myself blogging tonight outside on my laptop, home alone because the kadults are working – with a glass of pinot grigio to the side in gorgeous 72 degree weather.   The sun is shining, blue skies and its nights like tonight that make me miss Tony the most.  We lived for weather like this to sit outside and have some cocktails while listening to...

Yesterday I was up at 7:20. Got my coffee, wrote my blog, did some computer work, when all of a sudden I looked up and it was 9:00 a.m. and I had to leave for WW in 15 minutes.  I chose to wear a hat vs. jumping in the shower (klassy) and was able to make this quick egg white omelet to go before heading...

Scroll down to find the recipe for my Pineapple Garlic Sriracha BBQ Sauce, so good! Yesterday was my weekly WI and I was happy to see a loss of 1.2!  Two weeks in a row, or 2.2 pounds – and I hope to continue the streak next week.  Can a sista just get to the first five pounds so I can get a sticker at...

Since I knew I was having lunch out yesterday morning, I didn’t want to eat too much, but I knew I needed to eat something.  The kidults are big cereal eaters, so I grabbed a bowl of Honey Comb.  Each serving is 1.5 cups and with 1/2 a cup of unsweetened almond milk, breakfast was only 5 points.  Growing up we only had Wheaties or...

What a gorgeous day of weather we had yesterday!  I can remember so many Memorial Day parades where it was cold, rainy, etc.  My Mom actually walked in the parade we used to ride our bikes in back in the day.  It starts at my old grade school, which I haven’t probably stepped foot into in 30+ years.  I invited her over for a BBQ. ...

I am the firm believer if you have eggs or egg white with any type of protein, it can be considered breakfast food.  Case in point – leftover pulled pork.  Even though it was 8:30 in the morning, it looked so good so I decided to scramble some egg whites, toss in 3 ounces of the pork to heat up, then Pam fry some breakfast...

I love having frozen fruit on hand, and the best place for me to buy it is either Wal-mart of Sam’s Club.  On my last Sam’s Club run, I bought a 3 pound bag of blueberries for $5.98!  I ended up making another breakfast parfait by making my own fruit sauce.  So easy – any combination of fresh/frozen fruit for 1 cup.  1 cup water...

You aren’t going to believe this, but lyrics to a song I’ve listened to 1,000 times before suddenly smacked me in the face last week.  One of my favorite movies is She’s Having A Baby with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern.   It first introduced me to the singer Kate Bush, and I have some of her music saved to my Spotify lineup. So let me...

I guess the most positive thing about not having my wine at night is that I am WAY more productive!  I guess I considered drinking wine an activity, so I was busy drinking wine, no?! I signed up for my 75 minute hot yoga in the middle of last week and I wasn’t sure how to prepare for it diabetes wise.  My sister told her...

Sunday we had Christmas with my sister and her family at my Mom’s house.  I always look forward to seeing my niece and nephews.  Even though we only live an hour away from each other, it’s crazy how the days, weeks, and months go by without me seeing them.  Of course, my Mom was just happy to have her favorite child with her! Oh wait,...
