Another perfect night!

My friend and I went to the farmers market, and happily the cheese lady stand was open, but I have never met a more unenthusiastic person in my life!  After we bought our cheese and walked away, I said “that’s it, I am banning the cheese lady!”  Until I tasted the low fat havarti with basil – to die for! My opinion is that its probably...

Nachos!

My friend and I decided to hit up the Farmers Market this afternoon, so I had to run to the store to get some cash.  They moved my Chase bank to the other side of town, so I decided to see if I could accessorize my lunch and get cash back. I hit the jackpot!  Look at the chips I got! But the best thing...

Cravings

Do you ever wake up with a certain craving that you just have to give in to??  Usually its bacon wrapped deep fried hot dogs (I am not kidding, we are probably going to try it this weekend – we saw it on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives and we can’t shake it!) But this morning I felt like . . . .FRUIT!   So I gave...

Perfect Night

Tony and I were commenting that last night was the perfect night – right temperature, no wind, no bugs.  If we could find a place that is like last night all the time, I am pretty sure we’d move in a heartbeat! We decided to do the wings on the grill – Tony added applewood chips to the grill – it gave the wings such...

MY (Hannah’s) Inspiration

Dear Biggest Diabetic Loser readers, First of all, I want to thank all of you for being so supportive and happy for me 🙂 I just wanted to take a moment to thank my mom, considering all of the really nice comments she made about me earlier. Losing weight of course isn’t easy, but with the incredible amount of support I get from her, it’s...

Finding Inspiration in Hannah (and day 1 of 30)

I am so proud of my Hannah.  She came home vacation, having eaten her way through wonderful food – Chinese buffets and good ole North Carolina Pork BBQ. She decided to give Weight Watchers a try, since that is how I initially lost my 75 pounds (my highest weight was 210 – not pretty on someone who’s only 5 feet 2 inches tall!).  Weight Watchers...

Breakfast Pizza!

I have Jen to thank at Bean Town Baker for this mornings breakfast.  Hands down the perfect breakfast in my book – pizza! I made a whole wheat version of this dough over the weekend – the best part about this dough is that it keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks.  😀 So my base was 4 ounces of whole wheat dough. ...

Beer Can Chicken and Julia Child

Beer Can Chicken and Julia Child
Before I get on to dinner – thanks to everyone who responded to my previous BSI post – I am glad that everyone seems to be in my side!  That being said, maybe its just easiest to cut and paste this post, adding the next weeks host to the top of the list for that week – does that make sense?!    And the prize you win...
