It felt so good to work out today!!   I did 40 minutes on the elliptical and 5 minutes of abs.  I didn’t cough at all!  It helped that I had Cooking Light to read because my iPod was out of juice. So I wasn’t VERY hungry after we got back, but I knew I couldn’t wait until dinner, so a made a snack lunch =...

I had to shop quick while Tony went to OfficeMax to get Turbo Tax.  I think this is the first time that I have only bought 1 bag of  groceries!  Here are some of my picks:   Robin Sue over at Big Red Kitchen made Fried Squeaky Cheese that looks to die for!  I might try to make a few of those! So my Mom...

We had to do a Sam’s Club run this morning, and since we have a business membership, we can shop before the general public before 10:00 a.m.  No lines!!  And gas was $1.81 – sweet! So after Sam’s we went to Mama Rini’s for breakfast – so good!  I did pretty good – only one bite of Tony’s corned beef hash!! I had 2 eggbeaters...

Can I just say that its weird not having pizza tonight??  But Hannah and I love having Mexican food anytime!  I remembered that I still had chicken in the fridge left over from our baked orange chicken and decided to cook that up for me and Hannah.  Tony got shrimp!  I did a quick 15 minute marinade – juice from 1/2 lime, fresh chopped cilantro...

So this gourmet grocery store by my office is closing its retail business and I had ordered THE BEST salami from them, because it is amazing.  I bought some for my parents-in-law at Christmas and they ate it, and finished it before they even got home!  I am sending them some more today! So while I was there picking the salami up, I got a couple more...

Wow, I had a relaxing morning!   Everyone was out of the house by 6:45 – Hannah to school and Tony to a Dr. appointment.   So I poured myself a cup of coffee and watched Wednesday’s episode of American Idol.  Wow, most of them sucked!  I LOVE Norman Gentle – he was by far the most entertaining!  I still haven’t watched who gets voted in the...

As I was making dinner tonight, I was trying to recall if I have ever made this before and I don’t think so!  It turned out really good!  I wasn’t completely satisfied with the wine sauce, but the chicken was “very moist” according to Tony!  The funny part is that I bought chicken cutlets, and as Hannah was helping me, she’s like “you can buy chicken that...

I was going to run a couple of errands at lunch, but decided to stay in!   Lunch today was delicious, but first, I restocked my “pantry” at work.  I was out of crushed red peppers, Pam spray and Italian seasoning.  I kind of just “claimed” this cabinet next to the oven! Spaghetti Squash for lunch!! 12 ounces cooked spaghetti squash 1/2 cup marinara sauce 1...

So when I was putting my breakfast and lunch together this morning, I decided to shred some zucchini into my egg whites since I am using the last of my baby spinach for lunch today.  It was so good!  It was so light and airy it felt like a souffle! 1.3 ounce bagel 1/3 cup egg whites 1/2 small zucchini shredded .5 ounce cheddar cheese...

This turned out SO GOOD!  A bit labor intensive, but definitely worth it.  The best part though was the orange sauce!  Baked Orange Chicken 1.5 pounds chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces (I used chicken breasts) 3/4 cup chicken broth 3/4 cup orange juice zest from one orange 6 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup brown...
