Soup

So here’s the deal with my feet.  Not only can I not wear flip flops anymore, I don’t think I can go barefoot for any length of time without some sort of arch support.  I cooked a lot on Sunday, and after standing in the kitchen, by night time I had to ice my right foot. I did my Classic Stretch for 30 minutes yesterday...

Well I think I have figured out that its my shoes that’s been causing my foot problem.  Over the weekend I wore my beloved flip flops.  My right foot pain was really driving me crazy, and I wasn’t even sure I would be able to work out at lunch.  But I wore my Born shoes to work yesterday, and the more I walked in those...

I have Suzi to thank for the idea of the breakfast banana boats.  She posts all her food and the other day I saw she had this banana that had strawberries, bananas, granola and chocolate sauce drizzled over the top – it looked so cool I told her I was going to steal the idea, and I did.  I made my bosses the same as...

Every weekend when I make my SIL’s lunches for the week, I’ve been adding a loaf of my artisan bread for my nephew each week.  In fact, when his Mom is on his way over to pick up her food, he’ll ask “make sure you bring back the bread!” So when I got ready to make the dough for the bread, I realized I was...

Some mornings I am so organized.  I know exactly what has to get done, how much time I have etc.  I was feeling pretty good about my timing, and had to make a couple trips to put my shit in the car – my gym bag, and my big container of soup for Souper Friday at my office. I came back in to get my...

Thanks for all the tips for apps for my new phone!  Okay, you guys are going to laugh, but that’s okay.  I love Instagram.  I like being able to take a picture, use the features to fix it up to post to Facebook.  A while back people started following me.  A.  I don’t know how people found me, and B. I had no idea why...

I got a kick out of the comments yesterday about who does and doesn’t like hot sauces.  I think I got my love of hot stuff from my grandpa.  He died when I was 11, but I have memories of him adding hot sauce and pepper vinegar on a lot of his food.  Pepper vinegar is something to behold – and while my Aunt is...

Thanks again for your continued virtual hugs about Ed. Tony hasn’t gotten the courage to read the comments to yesterdays post, but I know when he’s ready he will appreciate it! Since I got home so late Thursday night, I didn’t prepare anything for my Souper Friday at work.  I had promised minestrone soup and my rosemary artisan bread.  I ended up making the dough...

I woke up yesterday morning and within 5 minutes I was making biscuits!  I made my soup for the office the night before and when I woke up, I remembered I never made the biscuits.  No worries, because these are so simple.  I adapted this recipe from this one. Simple Cheese Biscuits made 13 biscuits – each one: 131 calories, 5 fat, 17 carbs, 1...

One of the secretaries called in yesterday, so it was a busy work day – which I love.  I think back to my early career as a legal secretary, and probably 75% of my day was spent doing electronic dictation.  The attorneys would leave their Dictaphone tapes on my ledge all lined up.  They could be dictating pleadings, wills, real estate transactions, memos, etc.  Not...
