Are you ready for some . . .

FOOTBALL!  It’s official, I am a football widow beginning tonight.  So I am sure if I have any regular readers, you know I think about food, read food magazines, dream of what I am going to make for dinner after I’ve eaten lunch – well I think that Tony loves football more than I love cooking!  Now that’s saying a lot! He loves it though...

Tony to the rescue. . . AGAIN!

Thank God my husband is handy, because I really have relied on him over the years to fix things, because that’s what he does!  And he’s good at it.  I got a call from Hannah while I was at work, right when my boss and I were filing documents online for a deadline!  I called Tony, who was also on a business call.  I told...

Guess what I did when I got home?

30 minute shred – Level 3!  OMG, its been too long and it was really hard.  But I stuck with it!  Dinner was quick to put together tonight, so I knew I’d have time and I was right – after getting home, doing shred and fixing dinner – we were eating by 6:15! I started out the day with spicy oats – 1/2 cup oats...

Happy Labor Day!

We had just the best weather today!  Still, no wind, although the sweat bees were trying their hardest to get into our gazebo!  I am pretty sure we killed at least three!  I don’t like bees, never have.  And I am pretty sure I’ve only been stung once, as a child, running barefoot in my grandparents backyard, so I am not sure where I obtained...

I got mad.

Thank goodness my family realizes that when I am mad, my blood sugar is low.  It’s not a pretty sight and I am usually embarrassed by my behavior afterwards, because mad in just not in my nature! The morning started out fine, read the Sunday paper, had my coffee.  Breakfast was pretty boring – a low carb egg wrap made with 1 egg, 1 tablespoons...

Tony to the Rescue!

Life got in the way of me blogging yesterday!  Before I knew it, it was 10 p.m, and I just didn’t have the energy to blog! Earlier yesterday though, Hannah and I were out in her car running errands, when she tried to start the car and nothing.  No sound, no clicks, just nothing.  Of course, I know nothing about cars but that didn’t stop...

Why Planning Is Everything

Since I didn’t do my normal grocery shop or menu planning this week, I’ve just had to wing it.  And while sometimes that’s all well and good, it doesn’t help if you have to resort to this for breakfast! Yes my friends – this is the McDonald’s sausage biscuit.  I ate just over half before I looked up the calories, and when I did, I...

“Mom, I love you, but. . .

your zucchini cakes kind of tasted like icky crab cakes that had a Mexican fiesta happening on the inside.”  These were the words uttered from my daughter after she tasted my zucchini pancakes!  Okay, maybe I do tend to carry leftovers a bit far.  Remember last night when I didn’t know I was going to fix since Tony was out?  I ended up making chicken...
