Whap!

That’s the sound of me slapping a ruler on my hand for not working out at lunch today, but I have a reason!  My sister’s company, due to the economy, has laid off a bunch of people and my sister might have been next but was saved.  So the emails/phone calls have come to a screeching halt.  I think I’ve talked to her a total...

I can see for miles and miles. . .

For some reason, I thought the weather was going to be crappy this morning, so I planned on hitting the fitness center after dropping Hannah off to school.  But one look out the window with blue skies meant one thing – take Ed to the trail. This is our last day at the trails for a week because they had signs everywhere saying from November...

Chicken wings for breakfast and two things. . .

Okay, it was good t.v. last night, I got home a little later than usual, so I am posting my dinner this morning! Two things happen when I cook: I make a mess and the smoke detector goes off!  And last night was no exception! So I wanted to make baked chicken wings, but when I got home, I realized I didn’t have any more...

My soup was a success!

After Tony poo-pooed my ratatouille soup, I brought it to work and put it in the crockpot for anyone who dared.  I know what you are going to say, put any food out that is FREE in an office setting and people will eat it no matter what! I actually worked at a firm when donuts were brought in on a Thursday, and by the...

It’s gonna rain

later today so I decided to take Ed on a long walk this morning – not sure I’ll be able to do that tomorrow! You can kinda see the clouds rolling in: As I was putting my food together last night for today, I stumbled across the last of our good salami, so I made a tiny midnight (okay ten o’clock) snack for me and...

chicken parmesan and ratatouille soup!

Tonight’s dinner was yet another staple – chicken paremesan.  The trick for Hannah to eat it (she doesn’t like a whole lot of meat) is to give her the tenders off the chicken breasts and then pound them really thin! I just dredge the chicken in an egg/milk/salt/pepper mixture, then into mostly parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.  Pan fry with 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon...

How low can you go?

Okay, one sure sign that my blood sugar is low is profuse sweating.  I know its lunch time, and probably the most appetizing thing to read while possibly eating your lunch, but its the darn truth! The only bad thing is that when you are working out, um, you tend to sweat!  I checked my blood sugar before going down to work out and it...

Happy Hump Day!

I think this week is going by so fast already!  Pretty soon it will be snowing, but I can’t help but enjoy this 70 degree weather!  Another beautiful walk with Ed. . . I was in a McMuffin mood, althought when I got to work, took one bite of the sausage, it was nasty, so I had to throw out the sausage part – really...
