Breakfast was delicious.  Plain Chobani greek yogurt, 1 tsp. agave nectar, 1.5 ounces of Sophia’s granola (almost gone!) and 1/2 cup diced apple. But then an impromptu lunch, and any sort of game plan for the day went out the window! So while I had fried chicken on the menu for dinner, it was meant to be on a day that I had a healthy...

Okay, so last week in one of my 7 Things About Me, I mentioned that I had to wear a Jesus First pin in my class picture because my grandma was a tad over religious!  After a quick search through my pictures, I thought I had it, but couldn’t find it.  But my Mom came to the rescue! She sent both me and my sister...

Was so much fun!  We typically don’t get together during the months of November and December, so we had a lot to catch up on! First Tony and I went out to breakfast – in our town, not our typical Mama Rini’s.  It was just okay.  They have breakfast specials for $4.95, so I decided to get this:  2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2...

This pizza was so good that’s all I am going to post about!  But I do have to give Hannah a shout out – she brought me a skinny latte on her way to work yesterday – perfect pick me up – thanks Hannah! Oh – and I have another piece of advice for you.  If you eat chili for lunch and then try to...

Ever since finding Kelly’s site (which I love!), I’ve been using SparkPeople (which is free!) to track my calories, fat, protein, carbs and fiber.   You can add other nutrients, but I didn’t really think about anything else.  That is until I started putting together recipes and packaged products my friend at work can buy, so that she has no more than 1500 mg of sodium...

Christina tagged me the same week that Errign did, so I decided to wait to tell you 7 more things about me.  Were you waiting with breathless anticipation??!! 😀 My grandma on my Dad’s side lived with us for several years.  She was a stern, overly religious person, who would routinely request my presence on Sunday mornings to watch Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson – televangelists!  ...

When I worked at a bar in my 20’s, during lent one of the cooks I worked with used to order a pepper and egg sandwich on Friday’s during lent.  At the time I thought it was the most disgusting thing, but as I grown up, I’ve discovered I LOVE peppers!  Yesterday’s breakfast was a take on that sandwich: a 1 point WW pita, 1/2...

One thing I never got around to over the weekend was the laundry.  The worst part of laundry for me?  Putting it Away.  And you want to know how crazy that is?  Tony built a closet in the basement for me – so I literally have to walk about 5 feet to put my clothes away! I am the queen of stacking my clothes on...

Okay, you all know my obsession with cheese, but this one ranks right at the top of one of my favorites!  Tony actually bought it for New Years Eve, and I had forgotten it was in the fridge until I cleaned it out. The best part is not only does it have a great mustard taste – a little goes a long way and it...

Operation Clean Freezer/Fridge/Pantry was a success! And while it seemed like we had a lot of food, it is depressing how much I threw away – from stuff that was unidentifiable/not dated or freezer burned.  If I have one resolution to add for 2010 – label my food and use my food saver to vacuum seal.  The above mentioned 2006 chicken was vacuum sealed and...
