Of baked potato and steak!  My hashbrowns were so good yesterday, I just had to make them again – this time it took hardly no time since my potatoes were already baked.  I made an omelet out of 2 ounces diced leftover steak, 1/2 cup egg beaters, 1/2 ounce goat cheese, .25 jack cheese, 5.5 ounces potato and 1 tsp. canola oil. I have to finish...

Tony and I split a big New York strip because it was pretty thick – once steak weighed in at a whole pound!!    Tips On Grilling a Great Steak: the steak should be room temperature – never grill a cold steak make sure your grill is really pre-heated – mine was 500 degrees when I put mine on I use a timer to make sure...

Quick post before I do Day 18 of shred!  Tony just asked me “are you going to earn a sticker today??” I went to my grand-nephews soccer game this morning – so glad it wasn’t raining and/or freezing!   They are starting to keep score which is really cute.  I came half way through the game and I shot this pic as he first noticed me...

Tony wasn’t hungry this morning, but I sure was!  We slept in late today too, which I love.  I did get up to see Hannah before she went to work, but as soon as she left I jumped right back into bed! 4 ounces of potato pan fried in Pam and 1 tsp. canola oil 2 slices bacon 1 fried egg with 1/2 ounce cheddar...

Anytime you can sit outside when food cooks on a Weber is a good day!  And tonight was no exception.  I did end up buying the 64 calorie beer, but after drinking a Corona last weekend at my friends house, I decided to add a slice of lime – so good! When I was cleaning out my downstairs fridge last week, I found this container...

My co-worker couldn’t work out until later today, so I split up my lunch!  First round – 1/2 cup of red pepper soup and 1 slice of low carb rye bread with 1/2 tsp. smart balance butter: In between lunch 1 and lunch 2 was day 17 of 30 day shred!  After that I did 10 minute cool down on the treadmill while watching Bobby...

I have decided that Tuesday and Thursday mornings are going to be my morning trips to the gym, and that Monday, Wednesday and Friday has to be something else in the morning, whether that be taking the dog for a walk or riding my bike.  Today I decided on yoga!  Now, I’ve only done this a few times, and I need to research (and maybe...

I really liked how my ragu turned out, considering I just threw stuff in the pot and kept my fingers crossed!  I started out with 3 strips of bacon, chopped, until the fat rendered a bit, about 5 minutes.  Then I threw in container of sliced mushrooms, and cooked those down for about 7 minutes.  Then I added a rounded tablespoon of minced garlic and...

I wasn’t even thinking when I was putting my lunch together that I am having pasta for dinner!  Hopefully my veal ragu I made last night has had a chance to get more flavor in the fridge today – I am really surprised I liked it considering I don’t like mushrooms or veal!  It has a very bold, meaty flavor – I plan on making...

A couple weeks ago I won the BSI recipe contest with Avocado Crab Bisque.  My new friend Ruth from Plentiful Plants sent me a bunch of Canadian Loot! I got up to work out this morning at the gym 😀 but when I tested my blood sugar, it was 50.  So I grabbed one of Ruth’s bars and ate half on the way to the...
