Date Night!

Hannah had to work last night, so it was an at home date night for me and Tony!  We relaxed outside with some wine while the grill got going – but I have to start at the beginning! Breakfast was my typical egg white sammie – 1.8 ounce multi-grain bread, 1/2 cup egg whites, 1.5 ounces 75% reduced fat Cabot cheese and two pieces of...

Happy Friday!

An impromptu dinner out last night, with stuff to watch on the DVR got in the way of me posting last night! So yesterday, I woke up early to make my purple cauliflower mac n cheese – and decided to take advantage of a flyer I saw about a cafe in our building who was now offering an oatmeal bar. I walked in, and said...

Happy Hump Day!

Only two more days til the weekend!  And its getting chilly in our neck of the woods – too chilly to even eat outside tonight!  But I love this time of year, even though Tony feels like everything dies and it’s dark all the time.  I, however, look forward to backyard bonfires! Since I didn’t do a normal grocery shop this week, my breakfast was...

Weigh In Wednesday!

I decided to be bold and actually take a picture of my scale this morning!  I can always “say” I lost the weight, but I decided to let the scale do the talking: And yet I know that I need a new pedicure! :D  So I started the food pantry challenge at 167.6 – so I am down 3 pounds in three weeks.  I am...

Mellow Monday

Today was a steady busy day at work, not crazy busy, so it was a great way to start the week!  I decided to make an egg white sammie for breakfast.  I haven’t gotten liquid egg whites in the longest time, because they were $3.99 for a small carton!  My local Target recently added onto their grocery department, and while it isn’t a full fledged...

I love weekends.

I was spoiled last weekend having a four day weekend, so it felt like this weekend just flew by a little too quick!  Tony started out my day with a delicious omelet with a high fiber English muffin.  Tony makes the best eggs – thanks honey!  (The green is fresh basil – wonderful touch!) So Twinfest was great.  It’s hard to believe we have known...

BSI – Chocolate! Best Hot Cocoa Mix

Anna at London Foodie in New York is hosting this week’s BSI – chocolate! I almost wasn’t going to submit anything, because being diabetic, chocolate is pretty low on my list of ingredients I use on a daily basis!  But then I started thinking, and I decided to make something to give away!  And since the holidays will be here before you know it, its...

Mama Rini’s!

After Hannah left for work, I started to think about what to fix for breakfast when the words “How about Mama Rini’s?” spilled out of Tony’s mouth.  I believe I was ready to go in about 5 minutes!  I love diner restaurants, the staff is usually really friendly, and we’ve been so many times they recognize us now! The only bad part is they tend...

Long Friday = No Post!

I had to be at work at 7:00 a.m. yesterday and I didn’t get home until 8:30 p.m.!  My eats were all messed up because of my work schedule, but all in all I don’t think I did too bad.  I kind of spread my breakfast out – first stop – a Special K bar with coffee.  I really liked this one! Then someone from...
