Soup

The sun was shining on my way to work yesterday. 😀  The sun just makes me happy in general, no matter what the temperature is.  Happily we had temps in the 40’s yesterday – so weird this close to January! And the geese were all over our parking lot at work! It was my third and final day of the broccoli bacon bake, and I...

The sky was a blanket of clouds yesterday – so pretty! When I got to work I had another portion of my broccoli bacon bake – this time served with a side of 6 ounce baked potato that I cut up and sauteed in 1 tsp. olive oil and sauteed apples.  I have no idea what apple this is because it came in a package of 7...

I really make a horrible nurse at home.  I am the type of nurse who wants to check on you every 5 minutes.  “Are you warm?  Are you cold?  Do you want some tea?  Do you want to read the Sunday paper?  Do you want more coffee?” Other than all the questions, is the fact that I sleep like that dead and usually can offer...

Thanks for being such cheerleaders yesterday with my 2.8 pound gain – still can’t wrap my brain around it, but I am going to kick ass this week! I was super busy right off the bat at work (even got in a bit early) so I only had time to take two quick pictures.  They both sucked ass.  But breakfast was delicious – I had...

Every year my office dresses up for Halloween.  In 2009 I went as Julia Child. I walked around our office saying “Bon Appetit!”  In 2010 I went as Paula Dean.  I handed out goodie bags and I said “love and best wishes from my kitchen to yours!” This year?  I am going as: Yep!  Guy Fieri.  We are grilling out and I am making thai...

I only ate a banana for breakfast knowing I was going out to lunch yesterday.  We had decided to go to Bite 9 – they had tons of different wraps and pitas, and Hannah had a jones for gyros.  And I had a jones for hummus, which their menu said was made fresh daily. But guess what?  It’s closed on Sundays! 🙁  So on to...

The great thing about making quiche over the weekend is that you already have breakfast made for the week.  I had the last piece yesterday with some canteloupe on the side.  Breakfast comes in at 8 points. I love all the layers to this one too – you can taste the potato, ham and cheese with each bite. Nicole of Prevention RD made a broccoli...

I was an okay student.  If I really put my mind to something, like a project, I would give it 110%.  Daily homework however, hardly happened, or maybe happened the morning it was due.  I think I graduated high school with a 2.9 – enough to get me into college, but probably barely. Which is why I don’t know where my daughter gets her school...

How lucky am I that Tony made me breakfast three days in a row!  Yesterday morning he made me pancakes with dried cranberries – so delicious we didn’t even need any pancake syrup (never mind the fact that I used the last of it and never replaced it!) You know I love soup.  A lot.  I was inspired by this recipe – except I used beef...

I had planned on making Marisa’s pumpkin, cranberry and apple baked oatmeal for my breakfast this week, but remembered I was out of flour.  Um, there is no flour in the recipe!  I kicked myself when I got to work and found the recipe on my desk and realized I already had everything to make it.  🙁 I didn’t really have a taste for anything...
