Although it didn’t feel like it when I left for my walk before work: The river looked really pretty, love when it’s still like this.  Too bad we couldn’t have afforded a house on the river, but I am glad that we are close enough to it so we don’t have to hear the noise of boats and jet skis – it can get really...

I usually bring my cell phone into the bedroom with me every night.  I don’t know why, but it’s a habit I picked up from Tony.  He always had the house phone and his cell phone on his night stand every night just in case.  So yesterday morning, I hear a beep on my phone.  I pick it up and it’s my Timehop for the...

My office is closed for Good Friday, so I got to sleep in – I just woke up at it’s 8:15 – nice!  My sister has to work, but I am going downtown to meet her for lunch to finally celebrate our birthday which was last month.  I can’t even remember the last time I went to Chicago – maybe last year when I went...

The weather was only 32 degrees when I started my walk yesterday morning, but we had I high of 73 yesterday and it was glorious!  Sadly, it didn’t last long as today, is cool and rainy, but just feeling a glimpse of spring is hopeful!  I only got 20 minutes in, but that was better than being on Facebook for 20 minutes! I ended up...

It was 34 degrees when I left on my walk before work.  Although this time of year while it starts out chili it does usually warm up to the 50s, but still – I want it to start out in the 50s and end at a perfect 75!  You know what is a great part about living in the sticks?  You can take your morning...

What the DietBet does for me is make me think twice before putting anything in my mouth.  Literally.  I guess over time I don’t realize how many licks and tastes I have during a particular day and they add up.  I’d find myself breaking off a piece of cheese if I went to the fridge.  Think about eating half a cookie that comes with our...

Today is Hannah’s fiancés birthday – Happy Birthday Jacob!  We are celebrating tonight at Ruth’s Chris and I cannot wait.  It’s been over two years ago that I’ve been there and I just love their beef.  Well, and the sizzling buttery platter they serve it on!  And I will probably have one glass of pinot noir to go with my steak.  I’ve been good all...

I found a new to me show and I am hooked.  I am sure if Tony were here he’d say “that’s Biz t.v. – no way I am watching that show!”  It fascinates me because when I hear some of their stories, I connect with them.  Bottom line is they love food.  They love how it makes them feel.  And when the eating stops, and...

I should really go through all my blog posts from September of 2008 and pull out all me “before” pics and put them in a collage – ha!  I wrote half of yesterdays post on Sunday night and realized I never did a 2015 before shot.  So here we go – this was one of the outtakes because Rummy has to be a diva and...

So much to talk about in today’s post!  If you don’t follow me on Facebook (friend me: Beth Hills Velatini) or Instagram (mybizzykitchen), then you don’t know that while I didn’t win the Sebastiani Pizza My Way Contest, I did win the People’s Choice award for most online votes – so thank you very much for that!  That prize was worth $1500!  Momma needs a...
