4 Point Breakfast Parfait and 7 Point Spicy Gumbo

4 Point Breakfast Parfait and 7 Point Spicy Gumbo
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...

Indian Spiced Meatball Tomato Soup

Indian Spiced Meatball Tomato Soup
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. šŸ˜€ I realized I never made my wonton cups for my egg white spinach breakfast,...

Buffalo Chicken Chowder

Buffalo Chicken Chowder
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...

Indian Spiced Roasted Squash Tomato Soup

Indian Spiced Roasted Squash Tomato Soup
I don’t like that its dark out when I leave to go to the gym.  Or that my bed is toasty under our down comforter.  When my alarm went off it felt like I just fell asleep.  I ended up snoozing in for 15 more minutes, but got my butt out of bed at 6:30.  I was at the gym by 6:50 – I didn’t have...

Tikka Masala Soup with Shrimp and Cilantro

Tikka Masala Soup with Shrimp and Cilantro
The sun was shining on my way to work yesterday. šŸ˜€  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...

Beef and Bean Salsa Soup (aka leftover soup!)

Beef and Bean Salsa Soup (aka leftover soup!)
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...

Creamy Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli Soup = 3 WW Points

Creamy Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli Soup = 3 WW Points
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...

Thai Butternut Squash Soup

Thai Butternut Squash Soup
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...

Happy Halloween and Chicken Sausage Gumbo

Happy Halloween and Chicken Sausage Gumbo
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...

Caramel Corn

Caramel Corn
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! šŸ™  So on to...
