It was seafood night tonight, although to be fair, I did wrap the shrimp in bacon!  I got the marinated ahi tuna from trader joe’s and grilled it on my indoor grill.  I did a quick marinade on the shrimp – a touch of olive oil, minced garlic, italian seasoning, and a splash of lemon juice. I cut 1 strip of bacon for me, and...

Thanks to www.greenlitebites.com, I was introduced to spaghetti squash, and haven’t looked back since! But I found that I was only using it as I would spaghetti – topped with pasta sauce and cheese. I wish I had come up with this idea, but I got it from here:  http://www.artsy-foodie.com/2008/10/what-to-do-with-spaghetti-squash.html I did change it up a bit, with what I had on hand, and changed some...

It was 35 degrees this morning on my walk with Ed.  I had to pull out a hat and gloves for the walk this morning!  It was so beautiful, sun was shining.  I was only going to go about half an hour, but when I got home I realized we’d walked 45 minutes! Thank goodness I am low maintenance and still able to get everything done, i.e. finish...

As I have said before, Hannah and I could eat tacos/Mexican foods every night if given the chance.  So when Tony is out of town, its taco night! 2 corn tortillas 1 ounce mozzarella cheese (split between chips and tacos) 2 ounces cooked ground chuck 2 tablespoons fat free sour cream .5 ounce tortilla chips shredded lettuce and red cabbage Tabasco! 1 glass red wine...

I just ran a couple errands at lunch and found myself next to Trader Joe’s.  I did a quick goole search before I left for their soups, and this one was ranked high on everyone’s list.  Organic Tomato Soup!  I like that it comes in a cardboard box, so it will last a while in the fridge.  100 calories, 2 fat, 1 fiber, 16 carbs,...

I was really sleepy this morning – I wished I could have slept in!  I didn’t even take Ed on a walk this morning, just let him out in the back yard for 10 minutes. Breakfast: Still love my english muffin/apple/cheese combo – this morning it was Swiss cheese! With the Bubba Keg – I need to drink more water!  Break is over, I’ll be...

The soup turned out so good!  The ham got so tender!  Dinner: 1 cup split pea soup 2 slices (2 ounces rye bread) 1 slice turkey breast 1 slice roast beef 1 slice ham .5 ounce swiss cheese .5 ounce cooked bacon and my friend Tabasco makes a visit to my soup! Off to relax, watch Entourage – love that show!  See you for breakfast!

if you plan to see the Secret Life of Bees.  It was so good!  I hadn’t read the book before, but my mom did and said it stayed pretty true to the book. After we got back from the race, I made Hannah and I pizza for lunch.  She wanted just plain pepperoni and cheese, but as I was going through the fridge, I realized...

Well, I didn’t win first place for my age group, but I wanted to accomplish three things: Finish Run the Whole Thing Without Stopping Run under 45 which was my previous personal best I DID ALL THREE!  My unofficial time was 40:22.  and THANKS TO TONY FOR CHEERING US ON AT THE FINISH LINE! Hannah did great too – she didn’t look to see what...

I made ham macaroni and cheese for me and Hannah for our carb dinner before the race tomorrow.  So good! 4 ounces dry cavatapi (or any kind of elbow noodle) 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon flour 1 cup milk 6 ounces shredded cheese 1 cup diced ham 2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs Cook noodles according to package directions.  In saucepan, melt butter and then add...
