Pork Stroganoff

Pork Stroganoff
I never went grocery shopping this week because of everything we have going on, but I think I can find stuff to make just using my pantry and fridge this week.  Should be interesting! I had leftover pancake batter from last weeks banana bread pancakes, so I cooked two off for breakfast with some Canadian bacon on the side – this may be my staple...

Best Ribs Ever

Best Ribs Ever
This weekend was the perfect balance of lazy and productive.  Saturday morning I totally had a taste for Tony’s amazing eggs, only to realize that I only had hard boiled eggs on hand.  That was the first thing added to my grocery list and I went with plan B: 2 hard boiled eggs, cinnamon toast and 1/2 a banana. I needed to get my eyebrows...

Broccoli Ham Cheddar Mac N Cheese

Broccoli Ham Cheddar Mac N Cheese
Yesterday I was wide awake at 6:30 in the morning.  What?  That gave me an hour and 40 minutes before I had to leave for work – so much time for activities! For breakfast, I made a Green Monster – this time with two overflowing cups of spinach so it was nice and green.  This one had 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 a banana,...

Apple Pork Sausage and Chimichurri

Apple Pork Sausage and Chimichurri
Hello Friday!  And hello to another day off!  I could really get used to these three day work weeks! Last weekend while I was waiting for my number to be called at the meat counter, I wandered around and saw that they had pork sausage – at only $2.99 a pound!  I bought some with the thought of making apple and pork breakfast sausages.  This...

Pork Marsala with Pasta

Pork Marsala with Pasta
First off, thanks for all your well wishes for my first WI of the year!  But the second week is probably going to be tougher than the first.  Because for me, I tend to get a little complacent in week two – maybe an extra bite here, an extra slice of cheese there.  I really need to keep my focus up so I will continue...

Who Wants to Taste My Balls?

Who Wants to Taste My Balls?
We have been so spoiled with our weather lately, that when I went to take our dog for a walk yesterday morning, the blast of cold air nearly knocked me over!  I had to get a hat, gloves, winter coat.  I was kind of pissed, but then I had to remember it is December!  When I got back from our 10 minute walk I checked...

Pork Chops with Cranberry Balsamic Glaze

Pork Chops with Cranberry Balsamic Glaze
Be sure to scroll down to get the recipe for pork chops with cranberry balsamic glaze – so good! One word could describe most of my day yesterday.  LAZY! And it was wonderful!  I am one of those people who always has a list of things I have to do and a list of things I want to do.  I don’t waste a lot of...

Thanks for all the kind comments on my 1,000,000 page view post!  You are so kind.  And it’s nice to see people comment that I didn’t know were out there (Hi Larry and Wild Child!).  You have until tomorrow to still enter my giveaway.  Good luck! Yesterday’s breakfast was not only filling, but it was so tasty!  I scrambled 1/2 a cup of egg whites...

Pork Chop Marsala for Two

Pork Chop Marsala for Two
I loved all your comments yesterday about eating the bugels – that they basically cancelled out my workout, which is true.  But I’ve come to the decision that I have to be stronger than the food.  I am in control, not the food.  And yesterday I was tested – at work?                                         Yep, cinnamon rolls, black and white cookies AND brownies.  Just so you...
