I may be ruffling some feathers here, but I wanted to make a comment on the past few BSI challenges.  The BSI challenge started way back last fall, until it stopped at Christmas.  I kept waiting for it to resurrect, and when it didn’t, I decided to bring it back with BSI – Zucchini!  The rules are quite simple: Pick an ingredient, preferably one that...

As I was putting my breakfast and lunch together this morning, I was surprised to still see that I had some light english muffins!  I wasn’t sure they were still good, and they even felt a little “gummy” on the outside, but no signs of mold so I was in! After I toasted it, it was fine: one light Thomas multigrain English muffin 6 slices deli...

Tangy, sweet, spicy, zippy!  These are the words that come to mind when I think of this barbecue sauce on my tongue!  I have these people to thank for the recipe!   I only changed the sugars they used to my sugar free/low sugar. North Carolina Mustard Barbecue Sauce 1 cup yellow mustard 1/2 cup splenda 1/4 splenda brown sugar 3/4 apple cider vinegar 1/4 water...

Gotta make this quick – I am just about to see the Next Food Network Star’s first show – I am so glad Melissa won!  I was starving when I woke up this morning for some reason – I defrosted one of my homemade bagels, this one was garlic, added canadian bacon and a fried egg – with a delicious sliced peach on the side...

My Mom has spent the better part of four months scouring over home photographs.  Um, turns out my Dad liked to take a few pictures!!   She put together a box for me, my sister and brother.  What surprised me the most was letters I had never seen from family members who lived on the east coast who responded to my mom’s letter back in February...

It’s 4:15 and I am just sitting down!   The day started with our weekly trip to the CSA – and the bounty this week was really good!  I have to sort through it, so I’ll post what I got at dinner. Hannah didn’t want to go to the farm, but wanted to meet us for breakfast.  We told her to leave 15 minutes after we...

I was so disappointed with dinner, I nearly cried.   While it looked really pretty, it didn’t turn out AT ALL!  Back to the drawing board on this one!  So while I was feeling sorry for myself over a horrible dinner, I just had to think of my friend Jen, who lost her Mom a week ago today in a car accident, and I quickly had...

I should probably call this breakfast “leftover” hash!   I had 8 ounces of red potatoes and decided to make a hash out of them.  I diced up the potatoes, added 1.5 ounces chopped canadian bacon, 1 small sweet pepper (my tiny colored peppers turned out to be sweet!) a couple tablespoons diced pickled jalapenos, 1/2 ounce reduced fat swiss lorraine and generous dashes of Tabasco....

I planned my farmers market visit about an hour after it opened.  I was pissed because the cheese stand was far from being opened, and she seemed to not care in the least that people were standing, waiting for cheese!  She must be a “worker” and by that I mean doesn’t give a shit about the cheese lovers!   So while I had every intention of...

Hannah totally lucked out – the woman she had a fender bender with called today to let me know that the damage to her car only $49.52!   Hannah had visions of how empty her bank account was going to look after depleting it to pay for  the repair – happily $50 is only a tiny dent!  (get the pun!) Lunch was AMAZING if I do...
