Kitchen sink stir fry

I still can’t get over how lucky I am to have a full kitchen at work.  This took all of about 5 minutes to cook up.  It’s a great way to use up all the small bits of veggies at the end of the week too.  And I am drinking a Sprite with it!  I haven’t had pop in a month, but it just looked...

Stuffed

Stuffed zucchini is what I have for lunch today. When my family looked at it last night, they thought it looked gross. But it is SO GOOD! I stuffed it with 3 ounces of leftover hamburger from last night, put about 4 ounces of marinara sauce and 1 ounce of fresh mozzarella on top and baked at 375 for 35 minutes. Reheated at work for...

Nosey

Ed was sniffing up a storm on our walk this morning.  The only way I could get him to stop was to hold his leash really short.  We had a nice walk though, until we scared the ducks! I love this sign near our neighborhood.  I guess people drove too fast on his street and they got fed up! Breakfast: 1/3 cup oats 1/3 cup...

I made two half pound burgers and two quarter pound burgers.  Mine was: hamburger bun 1/4 pound burger 1/2 ounce mozzarella cheese 1 slice american cheese pickles corn on...

Sushi (except not raw)!

The range of calories in sushi or Jananese food in general is all over the map.  Whenever I used to look calories up, I of course took the lowest calorie item!  Tonight, I think I guessed on the high side, but still came in around 1400 calories for the day.  And Joe came and met us for dinner – thanks Joe! My daughter and I...
