While I made Hannah and Tony’s dough the usual, I decided to try a mix of whole wheat and rice flour for my dough – its still a work in progress, but I am close – and I like how much fiber I get too! But before I get to that, I thought I almost wasn’t going to get the Shred in today!   Work was non-stop...

Quick lunch post – why do Fridays have to be so busy??!! First off, the one thing that makes my stirfry are these Asian noodles that we found at the Asian grocery store at Hannah’s birthday.  They are fully cooked, just “heat” up with hot water for 30 seconds and toss them in your stir-fry – that’s it!  The best part is each 5.5 ounce...

I have to credit Kath for the mocktail idea.  Hannah actually spotted this when we were shopping at Walmart – its a low carb, sugar free Ruby Red Grapefruit Drink!   So I had this mocktail last night while watching t.v. When I looked at the weather report last night it said today would be clear, with highs in the low 50’s.  Well, this morning when...

I wrote my lunch post, which Tony is calling my “manifesto,” hit publish and finished out my work day.  So imagine my surprise when I read all of your heartfelt comments on the previous post.  Just goes to show that you don’t have to see someone in person to be their friend and give them support – so MANY THANKS! But you’ll be really proud...

So since my friends and I have committed to doing Jillian’s 30-day shred, I decided I was only going to weigh myself on April 1st (which I did last night) and take my measurements, and not weigh or measure myself until May 1st. I am sure at some point or another, everyone has had a weight loss journal.  I have had a few!   But this particular...

This inspiration for this mornings breakfast was my EastingWell Cookbook.  They have lots of great recipes, and if you haven’t tried out their website yet, you should.  They have the nutritional information of every recipe!   www.eatingwell.com  Ham, Roated Red Pepper, Spinach, Swiss Cheese Bread Pudding 1.25 cups of egg beaters (original called for 4 whole eggs and 4 egg whites) 2 eggs 1 cup skim milk...

As soon as the sun is shining, to me, its okay to fire up the grill which means less mess in the kitchen!   But before I get to that, I had a wonderful food find at the store on my way home from work!  I heard about Western Bagels a few years ago when they were sweeping the Weight Watchers bulletin boards.  I think they...

Thanks for all your comments on my giveaway so far!  I know so many people are starting to love the greek yogurt and $40 of coupons should go a long way! Today’s lunch was leftover Clean Eating Mac N Cheese with the Roasted Red Pepper Soup, cucumbers with FF ranch and 1/2 cup sliced apples left over from an office meeting.  Lunch comes in at...

Sorry my post was so late, busy morning so my morning break was later than usual, but I have some nice blog loot to give away!  The best part is that I found the Better ‘n Peanut Butter at Walgreen’s of all places – reduced to $2.49 a jar!!  So you have two ways to enter:  Leave a comment below (and if you don’t have...

I used this recipe as the base of my fried chicken except for one exception.   I used this to pan fry it before it went into the oven!  But before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, relax, I only used 3 tablespoons! And after I pan fried it in Crisco on five minutes each side before going into the 425 oven for 40 minutes, this...
