Thanks to Gina, I found www.caloriecount.com and I love it!  The best feature is that you can enter recipes and it will give you an individual grade on how well that recipe is – and tell you what the good and bad parts are about it.  I still haven’t figured out how to cut and paste the label in my post yet (help Gina!), but...

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions on how to get a better nights sleep.  But with all your ideas, no one recommended this, which is what I did! Yep, I took the easy way out and had a bit of wine before bed.  My Mom did suggest Sleepy Time over the counter sleep aids, but I forgot to pick some up on my way home.  ...

Last night was the second night in a row that I’ve had trouble going to sleep.  It is so not like me.  I am notorious for my sleeping abilities, and am usually sound asleep within 5 minutes of my head hitting the pillow.  I am the one at family events that sneaks off to take a nap for three hours and still not have any...

Hannah had this song on her iPod (I actually almost typed eyepod!) while we were driving to lunch on Sunday.  This was the song that they played at the end of the last episode of Jon & Kate + 8.   I liked the acoustic version though.  I loved the lyrics! This is the moment It’s on the line Which way you gonna fall? In the...

It still amazes me how many different people I have become friends with that I never would have run across in my every day life!  Today I met a fellow blogger – we have been following each others blogs for probably almost a year if not longer?  She lives in Milwaukee, but she and her boyfriend were hitting up Woodfield and Ikea and asked if...

Am I the only one who gets a kick out of saving a ton at the grocery store??  I shopped at our local Dominick’s store, which isn’t where I normally do my full grocery shop because it is more expensive than our ethnic grocery store with the awesome deli and produce.  But the sale flyer was just too good to pass up! What’s on the...

Okay, I think Tony has about had it with party pizza Friday.  I never mention what’s for dinner on Friday’s because I already know that I am going to make pizza!  So I was bringing up the stand mixer from the basement and he asks “what’s for dinner?”  I hem and haw, but then meekly say “deep dish sausage pizza?”   While I could eat pizza...

Today is my brother Charlie’s birthday!  If you could leave a Happy Birthday comment, I would appreciate it!  Hope you have a great day Charlie!! 😀 Breakfast was a low carb egg white/ham/cheese wrap with a kiwi on the side – I forget how much I like kiwi’s and last week my store was selling them for 10 for $1! My soup was inspired by...

SuziCate is a new blog to me – its weird how you can stumble accross a blog and think “how did I not find it sooner?!”  She is a wonderful writer and I am so glad  I found her.   I need to write about 10 things that make me happy – that’s easy! Kissing my husband.  Seriously, best kisser EVER! 😀 Snuggling with my daughter...

Before I get on with the cooking class – look how pretty my breakfast was!  1 cup cooked quinoa, 1/2 chopped apple, 1 ounce chopped almonds with 1 tablespoon of agave nectar – I am loving the agave nectar!  If you haven’t tried it yet, you can get it at Trader Joe’s for I think $2.99 a bottle. Lunch didn’t work out as well.  I...
