Another non-stop day at work – but this time it was almost back breaking.  I had to put 48 binders together, then box them up (13 bankers boxes in all), put them on a cart, get them down to my car, load up my car, then unload them at FedEx!  It wasn’t until I dragged the 12th box in that the woman said “do you...

Or better yet, Saturday??   While the day started out contained, as it progressed to lunch, it just got busier and busier!  I should keep my expectations that it is going to be crazy busy, and then consider myself lucky if its calmer! 😀 I tried making a chimichurri sauce, but with all cilantro – maybe I didn’t have enough, but I couldn’t get the right...

I am working through lunch, just taking a break to actually shovel the food into my mouth, which is a shame to eat so fast because it is delicious! 3 ounces cooked shrimp (cooked with 1/2 tsp. taco seasoning) 3 ounces sauteed green peppers 1 slice of provolone (split between 2 tacos) fresh cilantro lime juice cucumbers carrots light jalapeno ranch dressing These were so...

While not a huge fan of yellow apples plain, I love them sauteed in just a smidge of butter and cinnamon and splenda.  This morning I cut up two tiny apples and sauteed them while I put the rest of my breakfast and lunch together. On the side was an egg/ham/cheese taco! Breakfast comes in at 299 calories, 10 fat, 15 protein, 35 carbs and...

Weekends go by way too fast – I think we should always have a three day weekend!! Last night I ended up making homemade whole wheat pitas – they could not have been easier since I let my food processor do all the work.  The recipe will be posted with dinner tonight – as we are having beef kabobs with tzatziki sauce on pitas. I decided...

Sticky wings are amazing! This weeks menu plan was done on a whim and based on what was on sale – so chicken wings it is again!  I routinely forget that I only cook for a family of three – and Hannah ended up eating a chicken sausage, so I believe I made a bit too many! I ended up eating three wings and about...

It still seems like slim pickins at the CSA, but with all the cool weather, I guess I can’t complain too much – I just hope I get boat loads of tomatoes and zucchini in August! broccoli snap peas kale rhubarb kohlrabi salad greens garlic scapes 1/2 dozen organic eggs Tony loves strawberry rhubarb pie, but I am going to try to create a sugar...

I had one item from my CSA box last week that I hadn’t done anything with – the Kohlrabi!  I decided I would make Kohlrabi hashbrowns! View Full Album Once I peeled it, I ended up shredding it in my food processor – I got 20 ounces of shredded Kolhrabi. 20 ounce kohlrabi 2 eggs, beaten 2 tablespoons whole wheat bread crumbs salt and pepper...

Wow, after this week, I am SO glad its Friday!  Although I like to be busy, I don’t like being totally busy day after day after day!  Oh well. one more week of being in the weeds and then I think things will go back to steady busy! I got up to work out, but I was too sore!  I had like this charlie horse...

Thursday: 6:45 – alarm goes off and I actually get up!
