Soup

We had our first snow of the season yesterday.  It just barely stuck to the ground, but its just a gentle reminder that 60 degree days are long gone. 🙁  But I have been listening to Christmas music on the radio! 😀  I just can’t stand that they seem to play the same songs over and over though. I baked a bunch of potatoes over...

So remember how I made breakfast nachos the other morning?  Well Hannah woke up with breakfast nachos on the brain, so she made them for me! 😀 I had a couple errands to run – Brandi, I finally shipped your package to you for your BSI win!   I also stopped by a small store to get new printer cartridges.   The woman that worked there and...

Since we woke up so late yesterday, our meal times were kind of off.  We ate breakfast around 11:00 – lunch around 3:00 and dinner around 7:00! I am going to be paying attention to my gluten intake.  I didn’t have any gluten products the first couple weeks of South Beach.  When I reintroduced gluten with our chili mac and I ate one of my...

I love coming home to packages!!  Yesterday I got a HUGE package from Wholly Guacamole – thanks to Danica’s giveaway that I won!  Look at all the loot – besides the food though, I think my favorite thing is the t-shirt saying – can’t wait to wear this shirt! We opened the medium salsa for the NIU football game last night – beware – the...

Our breakfast for our bosses yesterday was a big hit.  Let’s just say my bacon stuffed cinnamon rolls were a hit, as well as the breakfast casserole my co-worker makes that is to die for, and waffles, sausage, hash browns – we even had a special drink menu! My plate:  397 calories, 5.5 carbs My friend and I were able to walk outside yesterday –...

I had planned on making soup with the leftover roast we had over the weekend.  Have I mentioned that Tony doesn’t usually do leftovers? I think meatloaf, cold pizza and fried chicken are the three things he’ll eat leftover.  So I had leftover roast and I decided to make a soup with it. Only one problem, I forgot to make it!  But I had an...

Tony made me breakfast yesterday morning – I can only tell you that the french toast is savory – we are trying to come up with a recipe for the Nature’s Pride recipe contest so I can win a trip to FoodBuzz’s 2nd annual fest in San Francisco.  All I can tell you is that it was delicious! I wasn’t leaving to meet my mom...

I had 4 ears of corn leftover from our Saturday bbq, and was about to throw them out when Tony suggested I make a corn chowder.  I cut off all the ears of corn – since they were cooked on the grill I thought it would lend a nice smokey flavor to the chowder. Except I am an idiot.  We had two flies in our...

For whatever reason, yesterday turned into comfort food day!   I started out the day with a baked burrito, for lack of a better word.  I threw out the original recipe, so I can’t give proper credit, but here was my take on it! 1 low carb tortilla (mine was 110 calories and 11 fiber!) 1/4 cup black beans 1 cup baby spinach 1/2 cup egg...

I saw a recipe on Eating Well’s website for huevos rancheros verdes.   But the serving size was for six people, and considering the fact that no one else in my family would touch that dish with a ten foot pole, I customized it for one.   I was a bit leery when I saw pinto beans, but I actually loved it!  I had two corn tortillas,...
