Let’s start out by finding out who won the Rocco DiSpirito’s Now Eat This Diet Books!  I had to throw in the “Winning” Charlie Sheen reference – that guy is anything but a winner. First winner: fitandhealthymama says: March 29, 2011 at 12:28 am (Edit) I’m all about mushrooms so this recipe is a must try for me! What’s my motivation to lose weight? I...

Drum roll please . . . . My plan is to hit my 10 pound loss next week (only 1.6 to go!) and hit my 5%.  I want the 5% sticker dammit! 😀 While I normally look forward to party pizza Friday, I keep forgetting that it’s lent.  Since Tony’s favorite pizza is a meatza (sausage, mushroom, pepperoni, meatballs, bacon, etc!) and he’s not a...

I loved all your comments yesterday about taking time to hang out with Hannah.  Even more so when I read this sad news.  I’ve been to her blog off and on, but she’s much younger than me and I’ve never commented before.  Sophia brought my attention back to her blog this week.  Turns out Monet’s sisters family was in a car accident on their way...

I woke up yesterday to make zucchini lasagna for our lunch at work yesterday.  Before I knew it, it was time to leave for work, so breakfast was 3 leftover almost mock buttermilk pancakes with 3 ounces of sliced turkey breast – which actually tasted really good dipped in the pancake syrup. 😀 I had a work obligation and only had 45 minutes – not...

Wow, two posts over the weekend!  I realized that I am doing my giveaway tomorrow, so I decided to post my Bizzy Weekend eats. 😀   While I already submitted my Pork Chops with Lemon-Thyme Sauce to this weeks hostess, Heather from Girlichef.   But I had buttermilk pancakes on my brain this morning – only one problem, I didn’t have any buttermilk! But that didn’t stop...

I love that people have been asking how Tony’s doing – either in comments or in side emails.  We are just over five weeks after his colon cancer surgery and I am happy to say that he’s doing a lot better!  This has been a hard recovery.  Since they removed so much of his colon, let’s just say that it takes a while for things...

Last month I had the privilege of giving away copies of Rocco Di Spirito’s new cookbook, Now Eat This.   Imagine my surprise when I got an email from the same publisher, offering me his new book Now Eat This Diet to my readers!   Now I know the world is all about green monsters and smoothies – I am quite possibly the very last food blogger not to...

I was hoping the weather would have been a bit better on my day off yesterday – we had temps in the low 40s and it was rainy.  That didn’t stop us from having fun though! I did get up and go swimming!  I got to the gym at 7:40 and every single lap swim lane was open – I swam from 7:45 to 8:25...

I did a really good grocery shop over the weekend.  I only spent $61!  I am sure it was hard for Tony to be in the living room when I am cooking up a storm on a Sunday – but you guys – Tony doesn’t really like 75% of the food I make.  No joke.  I think he prefers Progresso over my homemade soups –...

First of all, thanks for all the birthday wishes!  I had a great weekend – I only wish Tony was feeling a bit better.  🙁 Even though Saturday was my birthday,  I didn’t skip my WW meeting.  I am lucky that my leader is totally fun and upbeat – she’s an absolute riot – since January I don’t think there have been less than 100...
