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...

Thank you for all your wonderful birthday comments, texts, and emails yesterday – you made me feel the love and I felt all the virtual hugs on having my first birthday without Tony.  I saw on my Timehop that two years ago we went to Ruth’s Chris – I love Tony’s comment, this made me smile yesterday. I ran some errands at lunch.  Thanks to...

And I’ve already cried today.  You see every year for my birthday Tony would leave me flowers on the kitchen counter to see before I went to work.  I never knew or saw where he hid them either the night before.  I would wake up, and there they would be. So this is my year of “firsts.”  And this is my first birthday without Tony. ...

I stopped by Hannah’s work on my way to work.  I know she lives with me, but I still enjoy spending ten minutes or so with her at her job before I go to mine.  Every once in a while she’ll tell me “I like your ensemble!”   I don’t have the most fashion sense, so it’s nice to hear when I actually pull an outfit...

The bad part about our flight being so delayed on the Monday we were supposed to fly back was that we were supposed to meet up with two of my cousins and my Aunt on my Dad’s side of the family in Tampa where they live.  We were to have about a 4 hour layover and I didn’t even know my cousin Chris and his...

Sunday night Mom and I were on our own as my cousin and Aunt had flights back that day.  We hadn’t yet gone to Mallory Square to see the sunset, so we dropped off our bikes back at the rental place and walked to Mallory Square.  I love that you can pretty much walk from one side of the island to the other.  We got...
