I can’t thank everyone enough for your wonderful comments on my 2 year blogaversary!  I was just emailing pubsgal, and saying that I love how I come across as the neighbor you’d like to hang out with or borrow a cup of sugar from.   And I love how everyone else views their blog buddies as friends!  This is such an open and wonderful community, and...

It’s hard to believe that I started this blog two years ago!  When I started out, I thought my blog would be a great way to store my recipes, maybe introduce you to a recipe you may have never tried before. I had no idea the friendships I would develop over these past two years.  While my husband thinks its crazy that I call you...

I have a deep freeze that seriously could fit about five or six bodies.  Not that I would know that or anything!  The great thing about it is that I got it for free.  Our community has something called freecycle.org, and if you want to get rid of something, you just post it and see what happens. About six years ago I was on there,...

I had a leftover baked potato 5 ounces), so I scooped out the insides and scrambled that with 1/2 cup egg whites, baby spinach, 1 ounce of ham.  When I got to work, I put the empty potato shells in my convection toaster oven for a few minutes while I reheated the scrambled eggs.  Then I stuffed them, sprinkled with 1 ounce of cheddar cheese...

I don’t know what it is, but once kids are back into school, football starts airing, it really doesn’t matter to me that it is still 90 degrees out, my mind has already made the transition to fall comfort foods. So for breakfast I had one of the 19 grams of fiber bagel sammie.  I didn’t realize it at the time, but the deli where...

Who watched the Emmy’s last night??  OMG, the opening was hilarious . . .and reminds me that I can’t wait for Glee to come back! Tony and I went to a different grocery store yesterday.  We’ve been there before – its called Woodman’s, which I think had its first store in Wisconsin.  It’s huge, and you can literally spend two hours in there going up...

Nothing like waiting until the last minute on this weeks BSI!  When Tony and I went to Whole Foods a few weeks ago, they had a gelato bar – he picked pistachio and I had a tiny spoon of salted caramel. We’ve both had pistachio on our brain since then, and what a perfect opportunity to try to make some when this weeks BSI ingredient...

I was up for a full hour yesterday when I decided I wanted to make wonton egg cups for breakfast.  I turned my oven on, put the wonton cups in the oven, and by the time I got out of the shower and was dressed, they were done – so about 10 minutes in a non-preheated oven at 350. The nice thing is that they...

I forgot to show you what Hannah made after school on Wednesday night.  Her class is from 7:00 to 9:30 – she had a late lunch and by the time she got home she was starving.  She wanted pizza! She ended up making a caramelized onion and bacon pizza.  I know my brother Charlie and friend Debbi are happy about that!  (I love fluorescent lighting...

It sounded like a good idea at the time, but about half way through this bowl of cereal, it started getting soggy and icky, and I was dreaming about a cheezy egg sammie 🙁 I had an eye doctor appointment at lunch.  I wasn’t sure how long it was going to take, so I had a little snack – nothing better than Tabasco cottage cheese...
