While I took a short cut last week just asking the participants to update their week in the comments section, I got positive feedback from several of the participants that they liked being able to reply to someone’s comment, that I am sticking with it. As you may have seen on my post yesterday, I finally reached my 10% goal, and am down 17.4 pounds...

And for the fourth week in a row, I lost another .6 – for a total loss of 17.4 since March 1. 😀 I was only bummed that my regular leader wasn’t there today – oh well! Yesterday was bagel Friday – I realized I missed my weekly bagel on Wednesday!  It was week two of grilling with Biz at my office yesterday.  On the...

I realized earlier in the week that I clocked another 50,000 pageviews since my half million giveaway post at the end of April, so its time for another giveaway to thank everyone who takes time out of their day to see what’s happening at My Bizzy Kitchen. 😀 I have Shelley to thank for my new hat that I wear every day during lunch, whether...

I am sure by now you guys know I like spicy shit.  A lot.  So am stoked to have stumbled upon a few recipes and products to add to my never ending list of things to try. First up?  Ally’s Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls.  Holla!  Baked with spicy chicken and cream cheese – and it scores two points with me because I am also a...

Can I tell you how nice it is to know that I am not the only one who carries around guilt?  That actually made me feel much better – thanks for all your comments yesterday! 😀 When we were at the Japanese grocery store over the weekend, they have the most amazing bakery attached to it.  We picked up these cheddar rolls, each one weighs...

is an invisible blanket I wear on an almost daily basis.  Almost all of it is self-imposed and I’ve been like this for years.  I am the quintessential people pleaser, didn’t matter if I wasn’t happy, but if everyone else around me was, then I considered that a success. But I am older now, and I just want to put that blanket in a bonfire and...

Local radio personality Steve Dahl declared that he had the best tacos at a Mexican restaurant in Mt. Prospect called Los Compadres.  Tony and I wanted to go to the Japanese grocery store, and figured we would combine the trip on Saturday. I decided to get the combo plate – a great deal at $6.99.  I got carne asada and ground beef on my tostada. Yep,...

I am cheating this week – instead of doing a huge recap this week, I am asking my participants to leave a comment on this post on how their week went.  I know Errign had a good week – she found a job in her new town!  I know she’ll have more friends than she’ll know what to do with. 😀 And my sister is...

You all know that I have anxiously been waiting to get my 10% goal, or 17 pounds lost since March 1.  I only had .8 to reach that goal today. So.fricken.close.  But I’ll take it – I know my exercise has been changing the shape of my body, even if I don’t have a huge loss each week – but seriously?  .6 three weeks in...

I stopped by Brandi’s blog yesterday morning and saw she had made a breakfast bread pudding for her husband’s weekday birthday.  I needed one other dish to bring to our office birthday breakfast and it sounded delicious.  But this is going to be one of those recipes that inspired me, as you will see my changes below: Vanilla Maple Breakfast Bread Pudding Makes: 9 servings ...
