I was in a fog this morning – my cough is back with a vengence and I ended up sleeping in my comfy chair because I couldn’t lay flat.  I have a call into my doctor so I’ll see what he says.  Maybe bronchitis lingers after the medication?  Who knows! Well, even though you can’t see it, my breakfast was nummy.  I had an english...

So I think my second favorite food behind cheese is butter.  I love it on freshly toasted bread, dipping crab legs into melted butter – have you ever been to a summer fair where they grill fresh corn and then let you dip your corn in a vat of melted butter?    Okay, I’ve just eaten and my mouth is watering again! Hannah likes shrimp, but...

My soup could not be simpler today.   I didn’t realize my chicken breasts for dinner last night were bone in, so I ended up cooking the carcasses in 2 cans of chicken broth.  Once cooled I put everything in a container and left it until this morning.  I ended picking off 2 ounces of chicken breast, I had 4 ounces of  cooked egg noodles leftover,...

I made 1/3 cup dry oats mixed with 2/3 water and 3 ounces diced apples and a splash of cinnamon and brought a sliced orange on the side.  After I put that into Calorie King it only came to 212 calories!  I checked the fridge at work, and remembered that I had turkey sausage and cottage cheese, so I added that to the mix! Update: ...

Um, can you tell I like cheese? 😀 I adapted this recipe from Cook’s Country, just by omitting the onions and dry sherry (which I can’t stand).  My dad once made a turkey tetrazinni once when my mom was out of town on business – the recipe called for 1 TABLESPOON and he put in 1 CUP!  Needless to say, I believe we ordered a...

I tried to work out today, but my cough is coming back – uugghh!  I think I may have to call my doctor again. I love the beginning of the week because we have lots of veggies to chose from!  My combo today was red and green pepper, carrots and english cucumber.  I also had 1/2 cup of my Cincinnati Chili, and a half bagel...

I walked out of my house this morning and it felt like the end of spring!  It was already 52 degrees outside and we may break a record today!  All I know is that by the end of today, I believe any remnants of snow will be gone! Sadly, there is snow in the forecast for Friday, so I’ll have to appreciate today while we...

While Tony loves meatloaf, Hannah and I are not as big of fans.  This recipe called for MASHED POTATOES layered on the INSIDE! All I did was take half of the meatloaf, form it on my cookie sheet (which is on a cookie rack so the fat can drain off) and put a layer of mashed potatoes so that there was still about an inch...

I realized when I was sick last Monday I never did my official weigh in!  So I did it today: 162.5, which is -.5 for two weeks!  Although with no exercise and maybe a bit too much red wine, it is still a step in the right direction!  So I am -4.9 for the year.  Slow and steady wins the race, right??!! 😀 So I...

I think my cough is just about gone, I have only coughed twice this whole morning.  I am going to try to work out at lunch today – fingers crossed it will be okay! Starting off the week with a clean fridge.  I am proud to say that I did this by myself, using my daughters method.  Condiments are aligned in rows, from tallest to...
