I decided I needed to make soup for my cold/cough/flu whatever I have.  In between coughing fits, I heated up 1 can of chicken broth, 1.5 ounce diced carrots, sprinkle of lemon pepper seasining, Italian seasoning, 2 ounces whole wheat spaghetti and 1.5 ounces of shrimp, and lots of crushed red pepper, which made for a really spicy broth! I knew I wanted a protein...

I could not stop coughing last night and for someone who is usually asleep 60 seconds after putting my head on my pillow AND not moving until the alarm goes off (and I usually don’t hear that!) I think I got about 4 hours of sleep last night.   I am glad I don’t have a sore throat though, I think that’s worse than coughing! So today is...

Okay, so you know how I’ve said that Hannah doesn’t really like meat all that much?  Like almost never!  Except for chicken, any red meat is pretty much out of the question, unless its really tiny and cooked to death.  Any hint of pink inside and it will quickly be put in a napkin and placed on the side of her plate. She came into...

some tasks that either you or your spouse are better at, so that job just is always handled by that person?  For me and Tony, its snow removal.  Tony is a master at snow removal!  The sidewalk next to our house, even the deck off the front door that we hardly used gets a clean sweep! Me, not so much.  If I can get to...

When I was at Trader Joe’s last weekend I picked up some white pitas – and made sure that they were the kind that you can open up and stuff.  I’ve bought some in the past that are just pitas and impossible to open up.  And these came in at only 120 calories! 1 pita 1/2 slice bologna (so good, don’t judge!) 1/2 cup egg...

when you do a menu plan!  I COULD HAVE SWORN I had zucchini in the fridge, but a thorough search proved fruitless.  On to Plan B!  Since we were having marinated tuna steaks, I decided to go Asian tonight.  The steaks are from Trader Joe’s and they are very reasonable – two steaks only cost about $5.50.  Now there is A LOT of marinade and...

Turned out to be pasta sauce!   As soon as I started thawing it in the microwave, and I started smelling it, I realized my mistake.  Oh well, I did have a back up! Since I didn’t eat my potato and chili yesterday, I heated that up and had it with my baby spinach salad I brought to go with my “soup!” 7 ounce plain baked...

Although I was sad to see Dan leave the Biggest Loser, I am so proud of him for working out so hard at home!   His teammate on the other hand I believe is struggling a bit more – it will be interesting to see how Dan’s friend ends up at the end of the show.  I liked how Tara yelled at Dan’s friend “250,000 people tried...

Sounds good, doesn’t it?  And it was!  But first, when I was at Whole Foods, they had the most beautiful orchids.  When Hannah was little her baby-sitter used to grown them, and I had no idea how difficult it was to keep them alive – they are very high maintenance!  If I bought this one I wouldn’t give it a week in my house!  And...

Just a quick lunch post – no pics because I spent my lunch hour getting the Whole Foods gift cards for the BSI winners.  Congrats! So a woman in front of me has only two packages, one says ribeye, the other says pork chops.  Guess what her total was?  $84.60!  Tony and I really don’t think its worth the hype – but I love how...
