T-Pain Microphone and Irish Potato Soup

T-Pain Microphone and Irish Potato Soup
Okay, can I just say that my blog post title basically kicks ass! 😀 I decided to get a gag gift for Tony’s birthday last week.  We had seen an infomercial for T-Pain’s microphone – you can sing into it, get beat box rhythms – here is what the microphone can do. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d0HJEO6JBg] So Tony has been sending me love songs at work and leaving them...

Chicken Brunswick Stew

Chicken Brunswick Stew
Not sure if it was missing my Dad over the 13th anniversary of his death over the weekend, or the dip in temperatures, but I had the urge to make my Dad’s Chicken Brunswick Stew. My parents are both from Virginia, and there was a canned version of brunswick stew that my Dad loved – it came in a yellow can, and once they moved...

Tikka Masala Soup with Cheese Tortellini

Tikka Masala Soup with Cheese Tortellini
Yesterday morning was so cool – I had the windows open in our back room where the computer is and even after shutting the windows I had a throw blanket on my lap – I love that kind of weather! Sadly when I gave Hannah $20 bucks to pick up coffee and coffee filters on her way home from work yesterday, I told her “get...

Breakfast Calzone and Pasta Fagioli

Breakfast Calzone and Pasta Fagioli
I love sleep.  So after sleeping in until 10:00 and 10:30 respectively over the weekend, let’s just say the only thing that made me get out of bed at a decent hour was that I wanted to make a breakfast calzone for breakfast. I had leftover pizza dough from a while back – I almost like the dough better the longer it sits in the fridge. ...

Grown Up Spaghettios

Grown Up Spaghettios
I am proud to say that I got up to go to the gym yesterday morning – I had every intention of doing laps, but the pool was full – and I don’t share lanes.  So I ended up getting the aqua dumbbells and ended up doing 40 minutes of upper body in the water – it was really hard to keep those floaty dumbbells...

Carrot Chipotle Pepper Soup – I forgot how good this was!

Carrot Chipotle Pepper Soup – I forgot how good this was!
Tony and I were able to see our doctor yesterday “through the back door” if you know what I mean.  We are full of prescriptions!  Tony has done some research, and he’s discovered Canadian pharmacies are a fraction of the cost here – and its totally legal!  And as much as Tony tried, our doctor would not get him a prescription for dilaudid.   When Tony...

Poblano Albondigas with Ancho Chile Soup

Poblano Albondigas with Ancho Chile Soup
Before I forget, this weeks host of BSI is Nutmeg Nanny and she chose Mango! You guys are going to be jealous of my Chobani score this weekend – only .75 cents each!  While I actually prefer plain Greek yogurt because its less carbs, the flavored ones are delicious.  Although I ended up eating the yogurt later on by itself since I ate the fresh strawberries. ...

Chicken Tortilla Soup, Wicked Workout, Burpy McGhee

Chicken Tortilla Soup, Wicked Workout, Burpy McGhee
When I got home from work yesterday, Tony asked me to guess what he had for lunch.  He said it was something we had in the house – it’s such a fun game we play (feel free to gag at this point if you wish!).  Anywho, he told me he had some of my schiacciata bread with thinly sliced proscuitto.  I instantly knew I wanted...

Almost Creamless Creamy Tomato Soup

Almost Creamless Creamy Tomato Soup
I love my morning time –  blogging, reading blogs, putting my food together for the day.  It’s just me, sometimes the dog will join me from the bedroom.  Yesterday I would have had my usual morning coffee.  I was out, but asked Hannah to pick some up on her way home.  Unfortunately, it was decaf – such a waste!  (thanks anyway Han!). Sometimes these mornings...
