So even though I loved last Friday nights  pizza combo I decided to go back to the classic – pepperoni, sausage, and red and green peppers.  It did not disappoint! 4 ounce no rise pizza dough 1 ounce Jimmy dean sausage (raw – it cookes in the oven) 2 ounces red and green pepper 1/2 oz chopped pepperoni 2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese Tabasco as a...

So I picked up Hannah and we went to her friends wake.  Now I’ve been to wakes and funerals  where it is Great Uncle Bob who died in his sleep at the age of 98.  The mourners gather around and tell jokes about how he liked to fish and that he always had his trusty pocket knife in his pocket at all times.  Then toast him...

Not only is stirfry quick and easy, its a great way to get rid of the veggies in your fridge at the end of the week!   I love the pan my office has that I use – the lid has a little hole in to vent and I like that its glass and I don’t have to lift the lid!  Then I lift the lid,...

I was running a bit late this morning, and while I had made my lunch the night before, I didn’t make a breakfast.  I knew I had a $1 off coupon for the new flatbread sandwiches and decided to give it a shot.  First off, I ordered the Turkey sausage flatbread, and when I got to work I realized that they gave me the veggie...

I was going to make Chicken Parmesan tonight since I didn’t make it last night, but decided to shake things up and I made chicken tostadas.  We hadn’t had Mexican in a while so it hit the spot.  I tried a new tostada – Old El Paso brand.  I was a bit worried buying them in a box for fear that they would all be...

Lunch today was the second half of a whole wheat bagel, 2 ounces of buffalo deli turkey, .75 ounce slice of pepper jack cheese, one cup of my taco soup, and apples with cinnamon and splenda.  Yum!  Can you tell I love cheese?? So since the cable guy was in our driveway when I got home last night, I didn’t pull the car into the...

so if I have any regular readers, you’ll know that Tony’s parents gave us this t.v. for Christmas! (thanks again – we love it!)   I was actually speechless when they brought it in!  So this t.v. has high definition so we called DirectTV and scheduled an appointment to get the HD box and replace all the other boxes in our house.  Mind you, there are...

When I got home yesterday, there was more mail than usual since there was no mail on Monday, and half way through I saw a letter from the Chicago Department of Revenue.  My first thought was “we don’t live in Chicago!” I open it up, and there, plain as day, is my truck going through a red light!  WTF?  On busy streets in Chicago they...

I think I did a great job with that roast – it cost $11.50 for the sirloin roast, I got Sunday dinner out of it, then our sammies last night for dinner, and then the remaining roast became roast beef hash thanks to Tony’s awesome suggestion! First I diced up 12 ounces of potato, since I had exactly 12 ounces of roast left. Then I...
