I walked into work with another pile of documents to revise in my inbox.  It’s been a long week y’all, but we made it to Friday!  I was plowing through the stack of stuff, when my friend Jacky texted “do you want a lunch buddy?”  Um, yes!  I quickly asked “walking or food?” and she replied that she didn’t care which, so I chose food! ...

Even though these sous vide bites don’t look that appetizing – they are delish!  Light, fluffy.  I did have several people make them yesterday (who knew so many people had the silicone muffin cups!) and here are a couple tips so they cook in the 20 minutes – make sure that the water bath line is 3/4 up the side of the muffin cup –...

  Let’s go back in time for a bit, shall we?  Maybe 25 years ago, I ate TWO apple fritters on the way to work.  Then I would get a frappuccino with my co-workers when I got to work.  That would be 41 points right there and it wouldn’t even be 10:00 a.m.! Lunch would be Sbarro – it was right by my old office...

I wasn’t hungry for breakfast yesterday, so I didn’t eat.  Let’s just call it an intermittent fasting. 😀  Right before I went on my lunch time walk with my sister, I ate a banana and I was good to go.  It was so humid outside, we walked Macy’s.  Pretty day before the storms came through mid afternoon. This screen shot makes me laugh so hard. ...

When I got on the train platform, I realized I forgot my coffee in the car.  Dangit!  And I forgot to refill my train water bottle.  Then . . .I got my period.  On the way to work.  I know, TMI, but I wasn’t prepared at all.  I thought, no worries, I’ll just fix it when I get off the train in the train station...

Hello Friday!  Even though it was a short week, it’s nice that it’s Friday and the weather is going to be gorgeous in Chicagoland this weekend – highs in the low 70s – yes!! But first, let’s pick a winner to Nicole’s Cookbook Giveaway!   And the winner is . . . CLARE!  Congrats!  Shoot me your mailing address to mybizzykitchen@gmail.com and I’ll get it in...

I didn’t really meal plan a full week and nothing I had appealed to me at all.  So I just said “fuck it” and decided to buy my food yesterday. If you guys have a Freshii near you – get this huevos bowl.  I always ask for the salsa and spicy bbq sauce on the side.  I pick out the tomatoes from the salsa (and...

Next time you are at the grocery store, buy Bolthouse Farms dressing to make this bang bang shrimp surf and turf. I picked up a loaf of the 35 calorie bread from Aldi last weekend.  While I love that each slice is only 1 point, it doesn’t make the best toast – a bit too flimsy for these toppings – note to self, spend the...

This buffalo shrimp and grits recipe is quick, easy and delicious! I won’t mind at all that this will be my breakfast three days this week.  I love the everything but the bagel seasoning on the baked potatoes.  I think next time I make this though, I’ll add some protein, this didn’t stick with me until lunch.  Six smart points if you are doing #backto30,...

I had such a fun weekend with my brother and his family. The best part is that we didn’t make a single plan all weekend – I think it was something we both needed – just to hang out and relax.  Since I was staying at my Mom’s house, I wasn’t distracted by laundry, or what I should be doing around the house.  It was...
