It was such a beautiful day yesterday, and this weekend we will have normal temps in the 60’s, which I love.  I hate when some years we go straight from winter to summer – spring and fall are my two favorite seasons! I had the last of my crustless sausage and broccoli quiche. It was our monthly birthday celebrations at work yesterday, and while I...

I knew I was going out to dinner, so I thought I would stick to my sensible breakfast and lunch.  Breakfast was three of my apple cinnamon pancakes, 1/2 cup of strawberries,  1/4 cup sugar free syrup, and not pictured was 2 slices of turkey bacon.  Breakfast:  426 calories, 67 carbs, 16.9 protein, 10.6 fat and 5.2 fiber. Lunch was a serving of my buffalo...

I am really so lucky.  I have a roof over my head, food in my fridge, great kids, but most of all – I love my husband! Seriously!  I love coming home every day knowing he is here.  When he is out of town on business, and I hear his car pull up in the driveway, I still get butterflies in my stomach.  We met...

I came home to a beautiful lawn! The first mow of the season is the worst.  We had planned on doing it over the weekend.  We have a tree that drops these huge shells, they almost look like string beans!  And because we had such a wet spring, the riding mower got clogged several times – it looks beautiful – thanks Tony! 😀 I started...

Some of my eats were a hit yesterday, others need some tweaking!  I started out my leisurely Sunday morning with a classic Biz sammie – English muffin, 1/2 cup egg beaters, spinach and 2 ounces of leftover Easter sandwich.  Surprisingly – no cheese was involved in this sammie! 😀 When we buy stuff off the $1 rack – we’ve learned that we have to move...

When I woke up yesterday morning, I was going to suggest to Tony that we go out for breakfast, but quickly realized I already had all the ingredients to make  a kicked up breakfast.  First up?  Hash browns!  This is one potato – it was huge!  I finally figured out that I have to cook the potatoes in water first, then dry them and then...

I was shocked when I asked Tony what he felt like for dinner and he said pizza!  We only had pizza a couple of times during lent because he isn’t a fan of no meat on pizza! But first I have a bit of advice for you on how to make good coffee.  Turns out you have to put the top on the carafe before...

When we were driving Maxi to the aiport, she said “I feel so weird, I am not sure if I am happy to be going home or sad to be going home!”  We met the other exchange students at the airport, and one by one they checked in, showed their passports and got their plane tickets.  They were flying into Paris, then taking another plane...

He buys me hot shit! Oh my gosh – these are delicious!  And you get 33 in a serving!  Although I know today I am going to have to portion them out into individual servings, because I have no doubt I could eat the whole bag on one sitting! I am still flying by the seat of pants meal planning wise.  I am continuing the...

I’d like to say that I didn’t do too bad without a meal plan in place for yesterday!   My inspiration for breakfast yesterday was 4 small new potatoes left over from the night before.  I diced up 4 ounces of potatoes, 2 ounces of leftover Easter ham and scrambled it with 1 egg and 1/4 cup diced red pepper.  My idea was to make a...
