I don’t have any egg whites, so I went with a whole egg sammie this morning – I just love the bulk egg whites give the breakfast sammies – so this seems a bit flat to me – but tasty nonetheless! toasted Arnold thin 1 egg 1 ounce deli corned beef diced 1 ounce baby spinach .75 ounces four pepper goat cheese jonagold apple sliced...

Tony and I love this time of year – however, I do favor fall – but summer is a season we can both agree on!   When I got home it became clear that the Weber would do our grilling – its in the backyard, and in the shade – the gas grill is on our front deck and around dinner time its VERY sunny! We...

My friend and I did our 45 minute walk at lunch today – we were both dripping with sweat by the time we got back – felt good though! Lunch today is a new wrap for me – I got it at Whole Foods last week – you know I like things spicy! Added to my wrap – 1.5 ounces deli ham, .8 ounces cheddar...

Whew, after a food fest like yesterday, I was actually looking forward to eating better today! I didn’t do my normal grocery shop – I will probably go after dinner so I don’t have to make daily trips to the store!  So this morning I had to rely on what we had on hand. I decided spicy oats were in order – and when I...

Before I get onto dessert, dinner turned out pretty good – although I overcooked the pork roast, even though I took it out 10 degrees before done – it was flavorful but just a bit too tough – everything else was great though!  I was going to make a balsamic glaze, but realized I am REALLY low on balsamic vinegar – on to plan B!...

My oh my!  Fried zucchini, fried onion rings, fried potato skins,  fried shrimp and yes, we even did fried cheese!  I didn’t know if it would work or not, so I only did four pieces of the cheese – I froze the cheese for about 45 minutes so it wouldn’t melt in the fryer. While I cooked in batches, I kept a tray lined with paper...

In keeping with the fried fest theme – one of Tony’s favorite donuts is a Boston cream donut.  I searched high and low for recipes and they all involved a 2 1/2 hour process, letting the dough rise for an hour, cutting the donuts out, letting them rise again – until I found the ultimate recipe thanks to Christy at The Southern Plate!  It is...

I believe we have finally made delicious Cornish Hens!  The problem with hens is that we always have to buy them frozen, and they are rock hard.  This time I did a slow thaw – they have been in the refrigerator for a full 7 days and they were perfectly defrosted! The weather was so nice this afternoon, I decided to sit outside while Ed...

Today is one of the few days that’s actually felt like summer!  We got a lot done today already – Tony took care of the yard while I tackled the inside. Two things that needed MAJOR rehauling was my seasoning cabinet – there were so many things in there I literally haven’t used in years!   Hannah was very proud of my organizational skills when she...

It was so stormy last night I didn’t want to turn on the computer!  Wave after wave of storms, but we were lucky that the tornados (or possible tornados) went north of us. After it was over, Hannah and I took Ed on a quick walk. But look at all the rain water pouring into the river! Tomorrow marks the First Annual Father’s Day Fry...
