I am in line at the grocery store, and I can feel my blood sugar REALLY start to drop.  As Hannah and I were taking the groceries to the car, I saw Arby’s and the decision was made!  And then I also got these: I even ate about 10 of Tony’s fries on the way home, and I checked my blood sugar when I got...

My brother Charlie’s post yesterday on his blog had me at corned beef hash and Tabasco!   So out to breakfast we went!   First off, you gotta love a restaurant that has this on every table. Today I got the spinach and feta cheese egg white omelet with hash browns.  Um, Tony and I may have split a small order of corned beef hash! So I was...

Quick post – Hannah and I are off to my friend Kim’s Tastefully Simple party.  Have you been to one before?  I had to call my step-son because I knew he had a few products and he recommended the savory sensation and beer bread!   My friend Kim is the perfect hostess – pretty dishes, drinks to accommodate everyone’s tastes, and most importantly – great food! ...

Updated:  My spinach quesadilla lunch picture made it on www.tastespotting.com!   So exciting, its the first picture they have accepted of mine!  Rule #1 of insulin dependent diabetics:  check you blood sugar before you work out.  Mine was at 65.  Rats!  So I ended up eating 3 ounces of strawberries and 1 cup of tomato/chipotle soup for a 97 calorie, 2 fat, 20 grams of carb...

Yesterday when I was running at lunch I went down earlier than I normally do so Paula Dean was on.  Of course you know what that means!  Butter, heavy cream and sugar!  She made the most amazing lobster, shrimp creole bisque that looked amazing – but what looked more amazing was the bread bowl she made.  She just took out the insides of her bowl,...

First off, my bread turned out really good!  Although I think next time I’ll make a thicker loaf – but the flavor was really good!   My Mom’s trusty Kitchen Aid that I stole  she gave me.  It’s circa 1985 I am guessing??  Works like a charm!  Looks very similar to my friend Robin Sue’s Mom’s Mixer!  So the chicken turned out really flavorful, crispy...

So Tony is not much for leftovers, so if there are any, I try to come up with some way to use them for myself for my work lunches.  I had leftover pork from last night and from this night, so I decided to chop it all up and make pork barbecue.  You should have seen our dog last night as I was chopping up all...

The other day I found a recipe for Flax Seed/Almond crusted french toast and it sounded amazing!  Well, this being Grocery Store Challenge week, I discovered I was out of flax seed!  So this morning I was looking in my pantry and found I had 1/2 a bag of fruit and nut granola – maybe that would work? I used 2 slices whole wheat white...

Today was my first trip to the grocery store with my $20.  As soon as I told Tony that our mystery potatoes were going to be potato pancakes he asked if we had any applesauce.  We didn’t, and I miss my baby spinach and we needed eggs. I spent $6.28 cents leaving me with 13.72 for the next two days!  I’d like to say that...

That was my blood sugar!  I knew something was up when I was reaching to fix my food that my hands were shaking pretty badly and I start to sweat – not a pretty picture! Luckily I munched on an apple I had at my desk to quickly bring it up and it worked.  😀 I know its only been two days in a row...
