Oh my – I think I just ate the best sandwich of my life!  More on that in a second though!  When I was at the store, they actually had corn on the cob on sale!  What, its not July?!   Three ears was only $1 – I love the combo of the yellow and white kernels – it was surprisingly very good! But the star...

I love having a kitchen at my office!  Even though I am pretty much the only one who uses the stove except when we have office parties or around the holidays.  I’ll be cooking up my stir fry while one person after another heats up their Lean Cuisine! I had to cut my work out short – my blood sugar was 133 before I went...

It’s nice to see the sun out today as well as warmer temperatures – we may hit 20 degrees today!   When I was fixing stuff for my lunch, I saw the homemade granola and decided to have that with the regular oats and low fat vanilla yogurt.  I love this combo!  I never did take my dog for a walk last night, but I do...

Yeah!  I finally made a good chicken fried steak!  And it’s all thanks to RobinSue!   The only thing I didn’t have was as crispy a crust as I would have liked, but this was very tasty!  And cube steak is so cheap – I got 5 cube steaks for $3.97! First I chopped the rosemary for my potatoes – I like a fine chop:  Here’s...

On the side I have carrots, cucumbers and light ranch dip: And a small granny smith apple sprinkled with Splenda and cinnamon for dessert: Do the happy dance with me – I worked out at lunch!   I ended up doing 30 on the elliptical, hill climb, then 5 minutes of abs and 5 minutes of s t r e t c h i n g. ...

Believe it or not, I lost 1.1 this past week, bringing me to 163.8.  I shouldn’t complain because I only exercised once last week!  I have to get my a$$ in gear this week! I am so happy I did a full grocery shop this weekend because now I have fruit in the house!   Strawberries were on sale – I got a quart size container...

I handed Tony his plate and went back to the kitchen to plate mine and take the pics!  As I walked back he said “this is probably one of the most flavorful roasts I have ever had!”  I almost stopped in my tracks at that comment!  The reason being is that sometimes I can spend HOURS on a meal, and while in my head I...

Well at least I am going to try to bring it back!  Let me know if you are in!! It all started back in October or November.  One food blogger would name an ingredient, and people would submit recipes on their blogs posting back to the BSI (Blogger Secret Ingredient) host and a winner would be chosen at the end of that week.  The last host...

is the breakfast place that Tony and I like to go.  It’s a running joke with Hannah, but whenever she’s not here, we tell her that we went out to breakfast, went to Big Lots (one of her favorite stores), then to thrift stores and last, but not least, to PetsMart to pick up tiny dogs! So since Tony can’t get out to Mama Rini’s,...

is a winner!   The secret ingredient to this soup is a chunk of American cheese.  You put it in the freezer for easy shredding – it melted really well!   In their test kitchen, the decided all cheddar cheese made the soup grainy. 3 tablespoons butter 1 onion, chopped fine (obviously, I left this out!) 1 carrot, peeled and chopped fine (mine was 3 ounces) 2...
