Yes, after several filled out applications, two personal interviews and no job offer, she got hired on the spot at a kids birthday party place.  She called to tell me on the phone since I was still at work, but Tony said she had about the biggest smile on her face when she told him!  Good job Hannah!

Only 15 days more!  I also bought Jillian’s Fat Blast Metabolism (not sure what its exactly called) on Amazon today for $10.00 – its 40 minutes long – I’ve heard she’s got 60 minute DVD’s out, but not sure I’ll ever be ready for that! So my lunch was Plan B!  My red pepper soup was in fact pasta sauce!  As soon as I defrosted...

One of the best things about cleaning a refrigerator is finding things you forgot you had!   All the way in the back, it must have fallen out of my lunch meat drawer, was an UNOPENED package of jalapeno havarti!  So spicy!  I made an egg white/half bagel sammie with ham and jalapeno havarti: 2.2 ounce bagel 1.25 diced Easter ham 1 ounce jalapeno havarti handful...

When I gave Tony a bite of this and told him it was asparagus guacamole, he asked if there were avocados in it!   Hannah’s first thing she said after eating three chips full of this dip is that she is going to have this as an after school snack every day this week! I adapted this from Canyon Ranch cooking, the only thing I changed...

I defrosted sirloin steaks that I had in the deep freeze, but knew I had to stop at the store to pick up raw shrimp for the dinner I was making for Joe tonight.   I got 1.25 pounds of the big shrimp, and when I went to the register, it rang up at over $14, and I thought that wasn’t right, because the “card” price...

I had a lot of homemade bread leftover, and a new cheese to try, so you know what that means!  Apple Cheese Bread! When I went grocery shopping on Friday, they had a table by the deli with different lunch meats and cheeses.  Of course I was immediately drawn to the horseradish cheddar and it is AMAZING!  It’s Boars Head brand and if you can...

I was so worried about my cooking timeline, with the lamb in the oven, the ham on the gas grill, that it wasn’t until I started to plate my food that I realized I hardly took any pictures!!  But here are a few that I did take! I was so tired this morning though!   I did half of the cleaning after dinner and ran a...

Even though its a bit chilly outside, the sun is shining!  A good day for an Easter egg hunt (if we had little kids!).   I started with a simple breakfast casserole: 6 ounces stale white bread 2.5 cups egg beaters 1 package 50% reduced fat Jimmy Dean sausage, cooked 1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese pinch of paprika salt and pepper to taste Combine all...

Marianne picked Coconut for this weeks BSI ingredient.  I can’t remember the last time I even used my coconut – so it was time I pulled it out! I tweaked an Eating Well muffin recipe for what I had on hand.  Cranberry Almond Coconut Muffins 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut 2 tablespoons all purpose flour 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup sugar free brown sugar 1 3/4...
