Oh my, these are BY FAR the best biscuits I have ever made!   Please see Robin Sue’s blog to get the recipe – she gets all the kudos for this one! So as not to overwork the dough I just rolled it out making a square.  I have a dough scraper to make an even square, then I cut 9 biscuits.  Hannah had hers with...

Okay, I realized at about 10:00 last night that I never posted my dinner last night!  Shame on me! I wasn’t hungry at dinner time because of the huge piece of pizza I had, but I had thawed a steak for Tony.  I sauteed some mushrooms in butter and then topped them on the grilled steak – this was a bone-in New York strip.  Turns...

The pizza was delivered right on time!  Love when that happens.  I ended up getting a stuffed spinach pizza and a thin crust sausage and pepperoni.  I had one piece of the stuffed pizza leftover and about 1/2 of the thin crust pizza – better to have too much than not enough! I am lucky to work with such great people who are great at...

Yes, I am a creature of habit and just like Kath  eats oatmeal just about every day, I could have my egg white sammie and be perfectly content:  Busy morning so this is a late post!  And its Pizza Party Friday – but a bit different!  As a thank you to my co-workers who covered my desk when I was out with Tony, I decided...

So my brother Charlie wrote about Monkeyball Sandwiches and Tony wanted them stat!  Luckily, Charlie sent me the most important ingredient in my family’s Christmas box, the Pioneer Brand Gravy Mix.   Um, you’ll notice that Hannah decided to be my hand model!  Her friend works at a salon, and as a present, had one of her co-workers give her a free manicure this afternoon after school! So while my brother provided the essential...

I had some errands to run at lunch, and knew that I’d be by a really good sushi place, so since Tony can’t get to the sushi, I brought it to him!  Sadly, I missed one item that he wanted, but everything he got he said was really good and fresh! I had pork bbq on my brain.  My grandfather used to make the most...

Hannah is so organized, she puts together her ingredients for her egg bagel, puts it in a dish in the fridge, and puts her half bagel in the the toaster ready to toast first thing in the morning. She gets picked up for school usually before I get up, so when I walked into the kitchen (thanks for making coffee Han!) I saw her half...

Okay, tonights dinner totally made up for last night!  This turned out really well!   But first, let’s start with lunch!  I’ve been coming home for lunch to let the dog out, etc.  I recently asked Tony if he wanted a sandwich for lunch and he said “a ham and cheese will be fine.”  So that’s what I made him.  Two slices rye bread, a few...

We had an appointment this morning, so late post!  Good news is Tony’s staples on his knee surgery were removed and now we move on the PT!  Yeah! I made a very quick egg white, spinach, lean deli ham, 1/2 ounce swiss cheese sammie on a Panera whole grain bagel = yum!  This held me for a LONG time!  Probably the high protein?  So I ended...

Okay, so I decided to do my jumping jacks during the second half of the Biggest Loser Show tonight.  The first commercial didn’t come on until 8:10.  Guess how many minutes of commercials until the end of the show? Yep,  19:07 minutes!  I went on several sites, and the average calories burned for my weight was 213 calories! So I ended up getting in 35 minutes...
