So as I was sitting in my comfy chair, trying not to move so I wouldn’t cough, wouldn’t you know it I was watching FoodTV!  Rachael Ray was on and she made these arugula and procuitto wrapped pears with fresh thyme.  They looked amazing!  I had all the ingredients and slowly made my way to the kitchen.   I was bummed though that my arugula I...

This cough is not letting up!   It is so past being annoying now.  My doctors office didn’t open until 8:30 this morning – I called exactly at that time, and got an appointment for 10:45.  Nice!  Only to be called ten minutes later that there was a double booking and my appointment is being changed to 3:15.  Uggh.  Even though my stomach muscles are killing...

Probably the hardest thing about being an insulin dependent diabetic is days like today.  Unplanned meals, snacks, appetizers – you name it!  Guess what my blood sugar was before dinner:  So while I told you that the Italian Sunday Gravy thawed really well?  Well, it did, but it lost a lot of the sauciness on the reheating.  While the flavor was still there, Tony and...

I think I am going on a record of how many posts I can do IN ONE DAY! So a couple weeks ago I resurrected the BSI (Blogger Secret Ingrient) recipe contest.  I passed the torch to Sarah and her selection was dates!  I don’t really know anything about dates to tell you the truth, so I was a bit stumped on what to do. ...

So if any of you live in the midwest, you’ll know that the price of good seafood is rediculous!  I ended up getting our crab at the butcher – they have it canned in the refrigerator section.  Check out the price for one pound!  After I made the bread this morning, since I still had the food processor out I decided to make a quick...

The boys are eating eating their tartare now and are making nummy noises.  I can’t get over the fact that it looks like brains on a plate! So to add some extra heat to the jalapeno dip  (thanks Robin Sue! ) I added one fresh seeded jalapeno pepper to the food processor.  The bread rested for two hours before baking: And 28 delicious minutes later:...

So I was going to make the dips last night, but when I pulled out the recipes, I realized I needed to let the cream cheese come to room temperature.  So I made them this morning.  I’ll show pics when they come out of the oven! Another thing I made this morning was the steak tartare.  I cannot urge you enough to get your meat...

So Hannah and I were going over the menu for the week, and tonight we decided that we would have Asian chicken lettuce wraps, fried rice with peas and bean sprouts and Trader Joe’s chicken egg rolls.  Yum! Until we are driving home from the store and we both remembered that she had to babysit tonight at six!  There was not going to be enough...

I feel SO much better after taking this stuff!  I haven’t been sick in so long I didn’t even realize that I needed to sign off that I was over 18 to buy this stuff!   I got the non-drowsy for the day and then Tylenol PM for tonight.  All I know is that I am able to do things, like grocery shopping, without having to...

Tony loves ham steak but I rarely think to get it.  When I was at Aldi last week I saw it and picked it up – this whole steak only cost $3.25!  I pan fried it in Pam for about 6 minutes a side. I heated up some premade hashbrowns in the toaster oven, and made us eggs/egg white scrambled eggs.  Delicious! I still haven’t...
