Seriously, this summer has been the best weather wise – I think we’ve turned on our central air only twice this whole summer!  Although this weekend is supposed to be in the mid-90’s, so I am going to enjoy these next couple days. I had to go with spicy oats again, and this time I REALLY added a lot of hot sauce – so spicy...

I almost forgot to pick a winner to my first day of the month giveaway!  So without further delay!

First off, thanks for all your well wishes about Hannah’s fender bender.  What I failed to preface that story with is the fact that the VERY FIRST time I drove by myself, I tore the whole front bumper off of my parents station wagon.  I said I wanted to take the car to the library.  I thought if I “drove” by the library and went...

Hannah got into her first fender bender this morning – nothing major – she said she was pulling up at a stop light and her foot slipped and she hit the gas instead of the brake, thus bumping the driver in front of her. Luckily no one was hurt, and that’s the important thing!  I didn’t feel right about asking her to bring me my...

We could not have asked for better weather last night at Ravinia!  Perfect temperature, slight breeze and no bugs! We all caravaned from our office – during that time of day it took us about an hour to get there.  It didn’t take long for us to set up the food and drinks! The lawn area really fills up fast – its first come, first...

Quick post – my boss is only in one day this week so we have a lot to get done before she’s off again. I brought one of my jalapeno bagels for breakfast this morning, but the jalapenos fell off, so I ended up sticking them in my sammie! 1 egg 1 ounce Canadian bacon 1 ounce cheddar cheese jalapeno bagel Breakfast comes in at:...

Before I get on to dinner, I decided to throw a quick whole wheat pizza together for me and Tony.  My side was a few pieces of pepperoni and red pepper, his was pepperoni and sautéed mushrooms.  We split a bottle of diet root beer – perfect lunch for two!  I am tweaking this whole wheat crust and I’ll post the recipe when I get...

I saw a recipe for this eggs in a cloud and immediately upon seeing it, I knew I would make it – and Sunday morning is the perfect morning to try new things when not in a hurry.  I don’t remember where I got the recipe though!  It was a bed and breakfast recipe blog – so if its yours, let me know! I decided...

Since Hannah had to work most of the day yesterday, it was a Biz and Tony day!  We went to the farm to pick up the CSA box – I got more blueberries!  They are so good.  I plan on making more of the Blueberry Yogurt Muffins to make for an outdoor concert tomorrow night.  It’s my office Girls Night Out tomorrow night and we...

I have to thank Andrea for writing about Molly Wizenberg’s book, A Homemade Life.  She is the blog writer of Orangette – a food blog I wish I had found a long, long time ago.  I just finished reading her book and there are so many parallels between her life and mine, it was as if I was reading the diary of a dear, close...
