Since I only cooked half of my cube steak for dinner the night before last, I decided to chop it up and add it to my morning hash – 4 ounces potato, 3 ounces cube steak, baby spinach, 1/2 cup egg whites and 1/2 ounce of cheese.  I only cooked the steak half way at home though so when I warmed it up at work...

I didn’t know about pinterest until I found people pinning my food.  While I don’t tweet, and I am just starting to figure out facebook, pinterest seemed a bit daunting to me, but I know a lot of you use it. Want the breakdown?  Janetha from Meals & Moves has a pinterest 101 – I could easily find myself pinning a million recipes!  You can...

I got an email from wordpress.com giving me my 2011 year in blogging stats. Crunchy numbers London Olympic Stadium holds 80,000 people.  This blog was viewed about 307,000 times in 2011. If it were competing at London Olympic Stadium, it would take about 4 sold-out events for that many people to see it. In 2011, there were 298 new posts, growing the total archive of...

My Weight Watchers location made a move this week and this was the first week of meetings in the new space.  It’s bigger and more modern, and only about 1 mile away from the old place. Is it me or is every Weight Watchers location sandwiched between food related businesses?  The last place?  On the tiny strip mall was a bakery, Dairy Queen and Fat Guys...

I guess I can’t really call my breakfast yesterday a quiche because there is no crust and I baked it in a square dish, so let’s just call it a breakfast bake? Bacon and Broccoli Breakfast Bake (4 servings – each one is 5 WW points) 3 cups chopped fresh broccoli 2 slices bacon 1 carton of egg beaters (16 ounces) 1 cup skim milk 2 ounces...

We have really lucked out weather wise in Chicago this year – I can’t even remember the last time its been this late into winter without a measureable snow!  Tony probably thinks I just jinxed it by saying that out loud. 😀 Seriously though, with a gas grill you can basically grill all year long.  It takes just a few minutes to get up to...

Yep, today marks our 11 year anniversary!  It’s hard to believe I’ve spent 1/4 of my life with Tony!  We’ve had our ups and downs, medical scares, unemployment, etc., but we have survived it all and have lived to celebrate another year together. We have a doctor appointment this morning, so this is going to be quick, so quick I stole the pictures from last...

UPDATE:  Um, for all you bloggers out there, you have to push “publish” for people to actually see what you wrote! I love hearing peoples stories.  Everyone has stories to tell.  When Tony was in the hospital, two nights before he left he got a roommate that he actually clicked with – his roommate had been diagnosed with lymphoma, was about to start chemo, and they...

When my alarm went off at 6:30 yesterday morning, Tony was already awake and watching the morning news.  Every ounce of my being wanted to just stay in bed and snuggle, but I knew I had planned to get a workout done before work.  So up I got. 😀 30 Day Shred is no longer on demand, and I am so not techinical enough to...

After a very long week in the hospital, Tony finally came home yesterday afternoon.  This is the best thing the hospital can give you – discharge papers! Okay, so the dog didn’t have as big as a reaction as I thought he would, he’s just back to his normal self.  He smelled Tony once he came in, got a toy and started chewing it and...
