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...

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...

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...

It seemed appropriate on a day when the elections are held to cook the meat that closely represents the political process to me, yes I mean pork!  Biz had gone out and bought a 2.8 pound pork roast and said aw, just throw it in Tony!”  But with blog eyes watching, I felt the pressure.  I said “help me Bobby Flay!”  and sadly, came up...

So we live in an unincorporated part of town, and last time voted at the library.  So after I dropped Hannah off to school, I drove to the library.  It was PACKED!  So I waited in line for a few minutes, only to find out I AM IN THE WRONG PLACE!  I need to vote at the Catholic Church – that is right across the...

I came home today to find these new additions to the chalkboard menu!  Then this on the bottom:  Hannah was the culprit this time! Tonight’s menu if you looked closely to yesterdays post was chili baked potatoes and salad.  To which Tony’s response was “then what’s for dinner?”  I ended up cooking him up a 1/2 pound burger as his base, with the chili and...

I decided to do a giveaway on the 1st of every month, but since Saturday was the first, and not many people check blogs over the weekend, I thought I would wait until today!  Maggie at www.thesaladgirl.com won last month’s tea giveaway! The giveaway?  Two bottles of Annie’s Natural Dressings – your choice of flavors!  Check them out at: http://www.anniesnaturals.com/organic_dressings I’ve only tried the goddess...

It was already 60 degrees when I took Ed for his walk this morning.  I found one more tree that still had leaves on it!  And because its yellow (my second favorite color) I had to take a picture!   The river was really still this morning: Breakfast was a usual ham/egg/cheese muffin – about 300 calories, 30 carbs. Hope everyone had a great weekend! ...

So the beef stew turned out well, but I should have added the vegetables at the beginning, not the last 45 minutes because some of the potatoes and carrots weren’t fully cooked.  I got the recipe on www.recipezaar.com Recipe # 36984.   Then I put then in a ziploc bag that had the flour, pepper and seasoned salt. The original recipe called for 1/4 cup of...
