What a busy day, from the second I got up to go to the gym! til just sitting down now.  I got up when my alarm went off, which never happens!  I went to the gym where I did a 45 minute bike ride for just under 9 miles, all while reading so it went fast! Work was non-stop, I did manage to eat at...

No post until tonight . . . I am in the weeds!  Come back tonight for the recap: Breakfast:  Spicy Oats with Fried Egg and Bacon Lunch: Open Face Roast Beef Sammie and Roasted Pepper soup with Side Salad Dinner: Spaghetti alla Cabonara with Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops! Is it Friday yet? 😀

Not to have heard of Molly Wizenberg of the world famous blog (now back from hiatus) Orangette?  And I may not have except for Andrea’s recent post!  Andrea mentioned her book  “A Homemade Life” and since my local library is tiny, I had to reserve it from another library.  I had other books to return, so Hannah and I headed over and luck behold it...

I finished my work project 10 minutes before 5:00, so I didn’t have to stay late – yahoo!  I was so glad because I wanted to try this Chinese barbecue sauce – I had to keep it mild for Tony and Hannah, but had I made it just for myself, I would have added 1 teaspoon of Sriracha hot sauce and it would have been...

Here is another WW inspired lunch.  I love the dressing for this salad – it is so light and fresh.  I never used to like ginger at all, but I love adding fresh grated ginger to dressings for an added punch! Chinese Chicken with Broccoli Slaw (serves 4, 1.25 cup servings) 1 pound chicken (mine was about 14 ounces) 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar 1...

She and my Mom had a great time and Hannah took some amazing photos – I am impressed!  She showed me all three slide shows that she put together and they turned out amazing – glad you are home – I missed you! Their first flight was delayed, so they missed their connection, so Tony and I had some time to kill while in Milwaukee...

I got up to get some water this morning and I heard my phone beeping, it was Hannah!  We pick her up today from her vacation – she’s had a wonderful time and I can’t wait to see her.  She doesn’t have good phone reception in the mountains, so we’ve just been texting a few times this last week – I think its the longest...

Not quite sure what to say about the CSA, other than its kinda funky!      First of all, Tony and I drive up, and we are the only ones there – no customers, no owners – I questioned myself on if I had the right day or not!  But the owner came out, told us to come around back and gave us a box...

I love pepper jack cheese!   Has to be one of my top three cheeses of all time.  Here’s a kitchen tip:  since we got a new coffee pot, my old coffee filters aren’t needed and I had about 400 left!  So now I use them with my food scale – the side hold everything in and it makes it easier to shred the right amount...

But the weather turned out really good – this afternoon the clouds rolled away and it was a beautiful night – and Tony came to the game!   A couple on our team have a 7 month old, and usually one of them sits out while the other one plays.  Unfortunately we needed them both tonight so at times Tony was the babysitter – she was...
