Soup

I am finally posting my White Bean Soup!  I brought this to a co-worker yesterday, and it was a tad on the salty side.  I think by sitting the salt rendered out of the ham, so if you make this, I suggest you eat it up in a couple days. White Bean with Ham and Bacon makes 4, 1.5 cup servings:  276 calories, 6.9 fat,...

I really enjoyed my morning yesterday.  I was up around 6:30.  I don’t have to leave my house until about 8:10, so it was nice to just blog, read blogs, put my food together, shower and not feel like I was rushed.  My problem lately?  I’ve been staying up until 11:30 or later!  I am too old for that so for my exciting new plan...

I was never able to open the pictures my sister took on Sunday, but our friends gave us some old pictures that had me laughing.  I know I’ve talked about having glasses as big as my face before, but what’s with the giant mumu flower printed dresses? I think these were both taken in 1996 – this picture below was when my sister was 7...

I have to make this quick because some thunder storms are headed our way and I don’t like to have our computer on when its lightening and thundering! This weeks WI  . . . I gained .8.  But I will take it – I am sure I ate my weight in cheese at yappy hour this week, and I ate a lot of salty things...

On Tuesday and Wednesday we had temps in the 60’s in Chicagoland.  We have had one of the mildest winters on record this year.  But on Tuesday I never worked out – my blood sugar never got over 125, even with taking half the amount of insulin.  Then Hannah’s birthday was on Wednesday, while I thought about it, I didn’t suggest going to the gym in...

Thanks for all your comments yesterday about Tony making me dinner.  And yes, that does mean he’s feeling better.  He’ll feel even better when he’s not plugged into a wall anymore though!  The home health care nurse came by Monday to change his sponge, and his wound looks “pink” which is a good sign. Even after I told Tony that each slice of his delicious jalapeno...

Of course since it was Monday morning and my alarm was set, I did NOT want to get up.  I was so cozy and I knew the house would be cold.  Made coffee – stat.  Then did my blog post for yesterday and then all of a sudden I looked up and I had to leave the house in like 20 minutes! But first I...

I love, love, love Greek yogurt.  I’ve tried to get Tony to like it, but whenever I’ve made him fruit and yogurt in the past, after the first taste, his comment is usually “this tastes like ass!” But I love the tanginess of it, but I do think I have a sour palate to begin with – give me sauerkraut, vinegar, etc. I am a...

I had planned on going to the gym yesterday before work, but Tony was awake when I woke up so I chose snuggling over getting sweaty.  I knew the weather was going to cooperate later in the day, so I promptly fell asleep on Tony’s shoulder for 20 more minutes. 😀 I realized I never made my wonton cups for my egg white spinach breakfast,...

It’s weird how in the summer 38 degrees seems so cold, but in January it feels balmy.  It was a gorgeous morning – nothing but blue skies and puffy clouds. I did not wake up to go to the gym yesterday morning.  I’d like to say its because I stayed up to help Tony who had a rough night – he was up and down...
