Jacob had some minor oral surgery on Wednesday.  His Mom took the day off to go with him and Hannah and while I was at work, they came home and Val made all of Jacob’s favorite foods that she used to make him when he was younger.  Chicken mole, ramen noodle salad, brownies and chicken noodle soup.  Jacob prefers small shells in his chicken noodle...

What’s weird about my new job is that the days of the week really don’t have any meaning anymore.  When I worked Monday through Friday, I woke up knowing how many more days it was until the weekend.  Now?  Every day could be Thursday and I wouldn’t know!  Which is why I missed my Weight Watchers meeting this morning – I forgot it was Tuesday!...

You’ll want to print out this Thai Shrimp Noodle Bowl because it will become a staple! It was supposed to be a work day yesterday, so I staggered my breakfast/lunch/dinner like I do when I work 3:30 – 10:30.  I ate breakfast around 10:30, thinking I’d have lunch in the car around 3:00, and then I planned on having soup when I got home from...

Last Friday night I shockingly did not make pizza.  I know, I can hardly believe it myself!  But, we ate out the night before and Hannah and I had pizza, so I figured I needed to balance out my pizza love.  Believe it or not, this is a pantry/fridge/freezer meal.  I found a bag of shrimp in my freezer and thawed them earlier in the...

For some reason I woke up with an upset stomach.  I got up at 6:30 and stayed up until about 8:30 – it almost felt like I was going to get sick, so I went back to bed and woke up at 10:15!  One of the luxuries of not having a job at the moment, no one to call in sick to!  I felt much...

Hey guys!  Today I have the day off from work – woop woop!  My friend Alison (hi Alison!) recommended me to her friend who is doing a culinary competition for high school students at Kendall College today and guess what?  I am one of the judges!  I know, so crazy.  The woman who organized it emailed me and asked if I would be bringing my...

As I was putting my food together before work yesterday morning, when I opened the pantry I saw that there was one lone everything bagel left.  I know Jacob and Hannah usually eat them, but I said “snooze you lose!” and brought it to make a breakfast bagel. Later on I put that on Instagram to let Hannah and Jacob know that I took the...

I haven’t mentioned it the last couple days that I am back to drinking coffee.  BUT, not using my International Delight (are you happy Jody?! ) but using a splash of almond milk and 1/2 a packet of Splenda – so good! I made it Day 4 of getting up and hitting the gym.  I cannot tell you how proud I am of myself.  I...

So I got up early to go to my EKG.  I didn’t know how long it was going to take so I gave myself plenty of time.  I was in the parking lot by 7:30. That was the view I had when Tony was in the hospital when he got his artificial heart valve in 2007. Well, from registration to the end of the test,...

My breakfast sammie was so good yesterday, I decided to KERF it and have the same breakfast two days in a row!  On my classy paper plate – breakfast comes in at 387 calories, 12 fat, 31 carbs, 1.5 fiber and 33 protein. I have until November 2nd to get my 170 mile challenge accomplished, and as of Sunday I still had 119 miles to...
