Thanks to everyone who participated in this weeks BSI contest!  There are several that I have already put in my “must make soon” pile! In no particular order: Sara of Cupcake Muffin made Lemon Cranberry Muffins.  I imagine the lemon glaze makes this muffin! Debbi Does Dinner Healthy made Sweet and Chunky Chicken Salad.  I am not a huge fan of chicken salad because of...

I have to think that January and February are my least favorite months of the year.  It’s days like today that I think back to our days in the summer of me and Tony hanging out under our gazebo with a couple beers watching the Sox game.  Spring cannot get here soon enough (and I think the White Sox are going to have a great...

I had yesterday off to go to a doctor appointment with Tony.  He couldn’t eat anything the day before or yesterday morning and we had to leave the house by 7.  I packed a sliced pear and granola bar.  4 PointsPlus. We were both hungry for lunch and decided on Jimmy John’s.  I usually get the Vito, but decided on the Tom Turkey, no mayo,...

Because I had my giveaway post yesterday (you have until Friday to win a case of Chobani – all different flavors – click here to enter!) I didn’t do a full recap of my weekend!  First I have to share yet another soup recipe – this one got rave reviews too.  I thought I had a 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes in my pantry,...

Last week I received one of the best food packages to ever grace My Bizzy Kitchen’s door – a whole CASE of Chobani yogurt! Some wonderful ladies have also had this privilege: Brandi of Bran Appetit made Pumpkin Dip Holly from The Healthy Everythingaterian made Peanut Butter Banana Frozen Yogurt Pops: Janetha from Meals and Moves made Stuffed Mushrooms: Danica from Danica’s Daily made Pumpkin...

Upon reading the title of my post yesterday: “Sweat is the cologne of your accomplishments” Tony sent me an email that said: “Poo is the cologne of high fiber!” Maybe I should make a t-shirt that has both sayings on it! 😀 My battery camera was charging at breakfast, but I had another stuffed baked potato with baby spinach and added pepper jack cheese –...

Since I discovered that my body can not handle two work outs a day, I still make myself get up at the same time, otherwise before I know it, I’ll be getting out of bed at 8:16 to get to my desk at 8:45. So I had time to make breakfast nachos.  I thought I would use some low carb tortillas – each one is...

When I woke up to go to the gym yesterday morning, I forgot we were supposed to get snow overnight.  My first thought was “maybe I’ll just do something on exercise on demand.”  But the snow was fluffy, I was able to brush the car off in a couple minutes and off I went. I think I am actually getting better at swimming!  I never...

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Saturday was my 4th weigh in at Weight Watchers.  This was the first meeting after the new year and it was standing room only.  They have yet to know that I am the hand out queen of recipes – they have no idea what’s in storm for them, but I thought I’d take slowly 😀 Last week I earned...

We all know that planning meals and eating less processed food is the way for us to attain our newly minted health goals for 2011.  I love taking classic comfort foods and making them healthier.  One of my favorite makeovers was macaroni and cheese.  I actually had the best macaroni and cheese at a work pot luck several years ago.  I probably had the equivalent...
