I thought I would make shrimp de joghne (I have no idea how to spell it!) tonight.  I ended up blanching the shrimp in boiling water for 1 minute, then putting it in cold water.  I brought the same water back to a boil and added my pasta.  I read online that the way to make perfect pasta is to do this:  boil water, add...

I like to get a lot of food for not too many calories?  Just like egg whites bulked up my omlet, I am so happy to have found (AND LOVE!) spaghetti squash!  My 9 ounce portion is only 69 calories!  Topped with pasta sauce (sadly I had to buy some, all my canned sauce from the summer is already gone!) and paired with an Organic...

is expected today.  Our commute home tonight is supposed to be horrible! It’s warm this morning though, almost 40 degrees.  So warm that the river thawed and there is no more ice: I was putting something back in the fridge last night when I noticed we still had some of our good sausage so I made Tony and I a ten o’clock snack.  The only...

Tony is a much better cook than I am!  While I can follow a recipe (sometimes!), Tony can see what is in the fridge and make magic.  Take a look at this goodness he made for himself:  But Hannah and I had white bean chicken chili baked potatoes!  Underneath my one cup of chili is a 3 ounce baked potato.  I am not going to...

I brought a salad and some leftover mac n cheese for lunch today, but stopped in my tracks when I was going to the fitness center . . . the cafe in my building started selling soup this week and today’s flavor was cream of tomato.  Um, yes please!  I wasn’t expecting the slice of bread with it, but I can never turn down bread!...

Before I talk about dinner, look what came in the mail for me today! As I was yelling YIPPEE! Tony and Hannah said that they wanted to have an intervention – I get too many magazines!  But I have to say, all of my magazines are free from Tony’s priority points, so its not like I am throwing money out the door – but I...

On the first day of every month (okay, so this is only my third!) I have a giveaway.  You only have to comment to this post for a chance to win this months  prize!  A copy of my brother’s book from www.backtothefridge.com! Okay, so I think my brother is hilarious, but seriously, this is a really fun read.  And because its the holiday season I am...

We probably only got about 2 or 3 inches, not too bad for our first measurable snow fall!  I love how pretty it first looks, but it quickly gets dirty and ugly looking.  The worst part this morning was that when I was scraping the cars, the first layer was all ice and it took me about 15 minutes to scrape them off.  And traffic...

Growing up, my Dad used to make this dish.  However, one particular night, when my mom was traveling on business, he decided to make it for dinner.  One walk into the kitchen and I could not figure out what the smell was!  Me: “Hey Dad, what are you making?” Dad: “Turkey tetrazzini!” Me: “Um, what recipe did you use?” Dad: “the usual one that your...
