one trick or treater tonight by the time I got home from work.  Tony only gave out six pieces of candy before I came home.  We were even sitting on our deck, bowl of candy in sight, and people walked right by us!  So since I thought we’d be sitting outside, and I really didn’t feel like cooking tonight, we ordered a pizza! Yes, I...

Oh my goodness, as soon as I saw the pulled pork in a crockpot, I knew it wasn’t going to be good!  All in all I think I did okay, no dessert for me at least! Lunch: pulled pork sandwich the cheeziest wagon wheel mac n cheese hashbrown potato casserole a spicy meatball (it was a jar of jalapeno jelly mixed with cocktail sauce and...

It almost felt balmy out this morning for our walk, it was already 50 degrees at 6:45 am!  We walked a new path again – this time it was a horse trail! Breakfast: 1 Thomas’ whole grain english muffin 1.5 ounce sliced apple 1 ounce swiss cheese We are having a Halloween pot luck at work today, which may be a challenge!  Sloppy Joes are...

What’s up with that?!  Well, Hannah and I don’t like meatloaf, so we had plan B.  Luckily I had leftover pizza dough, so that was a quick decision for us! The dough gets a special chewy/crispy texture when it sits in the fridge for any length of time.  It was so good! Simple – a few slices of pepperoni, sliced banana peppers from my mom’s...

I realized I haven’t been eating as many veggies, so decided to add on a spinach salad with Annie’s goddess dressing.   This is the only flavor I have tried and am looking forward to some of her other flavors – if they are as good as this goddess one, I’ll be in heaven!  (Just have never seen them on sale though :O) Lunch: 12 ounces...

and I took a short walk this morning – it was chilly and I was not prepared!  I hadn’t made my lunch, or breakfast yet! The biscotti worked last night!  Baking powder is my friend!  I am happy I have redeemed myself! Breakfast: 1/3 cup oats 2/3 water 2.5 ounce diced apple pinch salt 1 tablespoon sf syrup 1 tablespoon trail mix pinch of cinnamon...

I like pork chops, but I tend to like them boneless, while Tony likes them on the bone.  I was lucky because these were on sale! Dinner: 4 ounces pork chop 3 ounces potatoes 3 ounces green beans 1 tablespoon blue cheese dressing mixed with 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar This morning before I left work, I baked a potato in the microwave and left it...

I didn’t plan my lunch very well today!  I knew I had tomato soup in the fridge and carrots and cucumber, but when I put that in calorieking, it was only like 200 calories – not enough!  So I had my leftover bean burrito in the fridge, and cut off about a 2 ounce slice and warmed that up.  I also added ranch dressing for...

Ed and I turned left this morning on our walk and that brought us to a really wide open prairie.  The only thing we saw were two deer jumping in the tall grass about 100 feet away.  Ed didn’t even see them! I did have a bit of a scare, because as soon as we got out of the car, I didn’t have a good hold...

Well, I think my meatballs turned out pretty good!  Here is the recipe: 3/4 pound ground beef 1/4 pound Jimmy Dean Sage sausage 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning 1/3 cup Italian style bread crumbs splash of milk salt and pepper to taste Here they are before getting in a smokin hot pan of 1/2 teaspoon oil and Pam: Pan fried them so...
