Remember my spaghetti squash that exploded earlier in the week?  I am sure you were all wondering “did Biz use it?”  I was able to save most of it. 😀 I decided to make a spaghetti squash frittata, although I am not sure it is truly a frittata, but that’s what I am calling it. Spaghetti Squash Frittata (4 servings, 1/4 of pie is only...

 It’s because it was hotter than Hades! Right Now Today Tonight Tomorrow Sunny Dangerous heat index. Outdoor exposure should be limited.

Tony told me that a local bagel store had pretzel bagels, and the first thing I thought was “I need to make some!”  I took a standard pretzel recipe, thinking that if I formed it into a bagel shape, it would taste like a bagel.  Guess what?  It tastes like a pretzel! Pretzel “Bagels” – makes 8 bagels, 4 P+ each 3/4 cup warm water...

Hey guys – I woke up late, didn’t make it to the gym 🙁 so no new post this morning.  Am I the only one who worries when a regular blogger doesn’t post?  I usually think “oh great, she’s been in a car accident!” I plan to walk at lunch and do 30 day shred tonight – have a great Monday! I am so happy...

Hallalujah – after three months, we finally have health insurance!!  I am so relieved.  I don’t even want to think how much $$ we spent on prescriptions these last months, although Tony got really creative with Canadian pharmacies and Sam’s Club Pharmacy.  Thanks Tony! 😀 Did you know you don’t have to have a Sam’s Club membership to use their pharmacy?  They have $4 a...

At 1:30 p.m. yesterday, we finally got out power restored after almost 80 hours without power.  Hallelujah!  It was so weird not to have watched t.v. since Sunday night.  Of course, our DVR couldn’t record my shows, so I missed my episodes of Master Chef and the new season opener of Hell’s Kitchen, but I’ll survive. 😀 This is the last day you’ll see frozen...

Can you believe we are on day 4 of no power??  This is really getting old.  Not only am I tired of eating frozen meals, but I haven’t been Bizzy in my kitchen since Sunday!  I am going through cooking withdrawal.  🙁 I had one thing to be happy though on Wednesday – bagel Wednesday!  I had a jalapeno cheddar bagel, 1 tablespoon WW cream...

Yep, we are going on day 3 of no power.  It’s so funny, but both Tony and I keep flipping on the light when we go into the bathroom out of habit!  Their estimation is still by tomorrow night that we’ll have power – at least Tony was able to power up his iPod touch using an inverter in the cigarette lighter of our car...

I forgot to pick winners from my granola giveaway last Friday, so the winners are: Random Integer Generator Here are your random numbers: 11 22  31 Marcia @Frugal Healthy Simple said: July 8, 2011 at 1:42 pm Seriously? Cocoa goodness, hands down. But I love all granola. Sounds like a great bike ride. I was a slug yesterday. Husband in Detroit on a business trip....

How did everyone survive the 4th of July?  Did you concentrate on the food more than the company?  Did you plan to splurge that day?  I know my dinner was 20 points, which included strawberry rhubarb pie.  My downfall was that I didn’t count points at all last weekend, and I only exercised Tuesday through Thursday.  That’s not acceptable. My goals this week: no wine...
