when your 8:00 p.m. softball game is canceled at 10:30 a.m.! Breakfast was a non-Biz one!  I give you apple ice cream! Once I took that pic, I just mixed it all together – I loved the peanut butter chips – they melted pretty quickly!  Breakfast comes in at 297 calories, 7.8 fat, 11 protein, 45 carbs and 4.6 fiber. I woke up kind of...

of me posting my blog last night – we had such a fun day!  Hannah picked me up at 12:15 and we started heading to Oak Park.  We didn”t find ONE garage sale on our drive!  About 20 minutes in to the drive, we both decided we were hungry so we stopped here: I almost got an Italian beef because it was their special of...

Since I had four hours overtime earlier this week, I decided to take a half day – it works out perfectly because my SIL and nieces are in from Texas!  They have been staying at my mom’s house – which is about an hour away from us. Hannah’s picking me up around noon – then we will garage sale our way to my mom’s house...

My father-in-law is from Florence, Italy.  Tony and I have recently been looking at Florence recipes – tonights is pasta with meat sauce! Sugo in Florence is mostly a beef and very little tomato sauce.  For a more authentic version, use red wine in place of the tomato sauce. Sugo di Carne 1/2 pound ground sirloin 12 ounces can Italian plum tomatoes (I used my...

I know it seems like a weird combination, but one of the reasons I love to make stirfry is that its a great way to use up stuff in your fridge! Today’s Combo: 3 ounces bean sprouts 3 ounces broccoli slaw 2 ounces sliced red pepper 2 ounces diced carrot 2 ounces sliced boneless pork 5 ounces of cooked spaghetti squash 2 tablespoons Wonnie’s Korean...

When I got home from work last night Tony and Hannah had already done a Chinese food run.  I had asked Hannah to make the Artisan bread earlier in the day to make cheese bread to go with the pasta I was going to make last night.  I must have told her the wrong measurements, because she added 4 cups of water instead of three...

had to work late, so there was no Sugo di Carne to be made.  You’ll just have to come back tomorrow night for that! See you at breakfast! 😀

Bake at 425 for 8 minutes (I baked mine closer to 10 and then put it under a low broil for a couple minutes). I split this pizza in half with my boss – so half of the pizza comes in at 315 calories, 11 fat, 40 carbs, 6 fiber and 18 protein. While the peppers were flavorful, the black bean sauce could hardly be...

I had to be at work at 7:00 a.m. this morning and knew I would be hitting the ground running as soon as I sat down at my desk, so I resorted to: In my defense though, the rest of my days meals are pretty healthy!  Believe it or not, I am having a frozen pizza for lunch!  Tony got a free Kashi entree coupon...

Tonight’s dinner took a bit of a twist, when Tony realized that he needed to use up a couple avocados we had – so pre-dinner snack was chips and guacamole!  He makes the best guacamole – best part?  No onions! 😀 I made an appropriate salad for dinner – with actual vegetables! Over the weekend Tony spotted a bean dish that he thought I would...
