Hannah and I had a meeting at school last night regarding her German Exchange Program!  I am so excited for her!  We know our exchange student will be staying with us during spring break (for a total of 20 days I think) and they have so many activities planned, not sure how much time we’ll actually see her!  Hannah doesn’t got to Germany until after...

Busy day today!  I was so excited when Julie asked if I wanted to share Yoplait’s new Fiber One Yogurt! It’s the first yogurt to have 5 grams of fiber per serving!  It’s available in four flavors – Strawberry, Vanilla, Peach and Key Lime Pie and is now readily available in the yogurt section of grocery stores nation-wide.  But the best part is that the...

I have no ability to use salt.  Seriously.  I under salt just about everything I cook.  Thank goodness for Tony!  I constantly bring him things to taste, and the first words out of his mouth is “it needs more salt!”  I think Tony thinks I’ve burned every tastebud in my mouth for all the hot stuff I eat!  This mornings breakfast was no exception! 1...

I had a half day at work today, because the other day, I realized it had been a few months since I had seen my diabetes doctor.  I called, said it was time to make a check up, and casually asked “when was the last time I saw the doctor?”  She said “are you sitting down?”  DECEMBER 2008!  What?  I could not believe it had...

I love football Sundays!  I get to spend the day in the kitchen!  Breakfast was quick – 2 ounce french bread, 1/2 ounce goat cheese, 1/2 ounce swiss cheese and 1 Pam fried egg.  I toasted the bread, and spread the goat cheese on one half, then when I flipped my fried egg over, put 1/2 ounce of swiss and put a top on it...

I couldn’t even take pictures of it, because it is the saddest time of year when we put our gazebo away for the season.  All that remains is  steel frame that’s nailed into the concrete.  It’s the happiest day when we put it up every year, which means that warmer weather is headed our way! And as much as I love fall, today was a...

It’s so icky outside.  Wet, rainy and a day that makes me want to stay under the covers!  I started breakfast with an Arnold thin, and my eggs consisted of 1/2 cup egg beaters, 1/2 ounce cheese, 1 ounce diced ham, diced red pepper, diced jalapeno pepper 🙂 and a splash of Tabasco.  And I had another honey crisp apple on the side. For lunch...

Over the weekend I happened to stop at Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and trying to make a good choice, I decided to get the Hummus Veggie Sandwich. It was described as: Hummus, Pesto, Provolone, Green & Red Peppers, Parmesan Tomatoes with Field Greens on Nine-Grain Wheat. The only substitutions I had was to leave out the tomatoes and substitute with banana peppers. That being said, the...

Hannah broke the news to me today.  I thought I had talked to her at length about the consequences of your actions, but I guess it just didn’t sink in.  KIDDING! Hannah is in child development class and brought home a baby that makes all sorts of noises – our dog Ed is beside himself, he’s not quite sure how to react!  I had to...

Today was a productive day!  I have to mention the real reason I took today off was because Tony was going to have a root canal and I wanted to be there for moral support.  Sadly, I was so busy at work yesterday, that I failed to call the nurse and ask about what type of pain medication, what to expect, etc., so unfortunately he...
