To www.hangrypants.com for the picnic wrap recipe!  So light!  I ended up getting 10 tortillas out of this recipe: 2 cups whole wheat bread flour 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup water 1/2 teaspoon salt (which I forgot to add!) In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour and oil.  Gradually mix in the water (and salt!).  Knead briefly.  Divide the dough into 10 pieces...

I LOVE sleeping in.  I didn’t get out of bed until 9:00, but I was starving! The last of the leftover steak – not bad, 3 meals out of the steak!  And those 10 potatos for a $1?  I made potato soup, pan fried potatoes, broccoli cheese twice baked potatoes and hash browns this morning – nice! My daughter smelled the coffee I made this...

I tried to make a deep dish pizza tonight – and it turned out pretty good.  The only thing I would have done differently is not oil the sides of the pan, because when I tried to make the dough stick on the side, it kept sliding down.  I cooked it on my lowest oven rack.  This one is ground beef, Italian sausage and mushroom....

Today’s lunch used up some of the steak from last night. 3.5 ounces chopped romaine 2 ounce chopped carrots 3 ounce chopped cucumbers 1 ounce chopped pickled jalapeno peppers 3 ounces chopped leftover steak 1 cup of my potato soup 8 ounce peach slices And as I was putting my steak on my salad, some pieces fell into my soup, so its like steak potato...

When I got home from dropping my daughter off to school, my dog was sitting at the top of the steps.  He immediately looked at me, to his leash, and back to me! We went on a 30 minute walk and ended our walk down by the river.  It was so pretty this morning. Breakfast: 1.1 ounce dry oats 1/3 cup water 1/3 cup hemp...

It’s what’s for dinner!  First off though, my husband brought home White Castle.  My daughter and I have never had it before.  She loved them – I did not.   I could taste the onions and the texture of the beef was weird.  But at least I can say that I had a bite of one! Dinner was steak and stuffed potatoes with broccoli and shredded...

It wasn’t very fast (4.0 per hour) but I was able to run! 5 minute warm up 5 minute run 2 minute walk 5 minute run 2 minute walk 8 minute run (yahoo!) 2 minute walk 5 minute run 5 minute cool down I am pleased – hoping that by 10/19 I’ll be able to run the whole 5k without stopping, even if I run...

When I got home last night, I was so mad that I left my BIG container of egg whites on the counter, and had to throw them out.  So today I used a real egg. Thomas light english muffin 1 ounce fresh spinach 1 egg 1 ounce sharp cheddar My exercise plan at lunch is to do my walk/run for 40 minutes.  I am hoping...

Our dog loves long walks, and I feel bad that I don’t take him on walks every day.  After I dropped my daughter off at school, I came in the door and who should be there?  Ed!  If you even say the word “walk” he gets all excited and immediately goes to the back door. Another beautiful day – I could see my breath! And...

Beer can chicken was on the menu tonight – and it was big –  5 pounds!  And they were on sale for .99 cents a pound – nice!  I made roasted potatoes and caesar dressing cucumbers for my sides.  When I weighed everything on my plate, everything equaled 2 ounces!   2 ounce chicken wing (with skin – yum!) 2 ounce chicken breast 2 ounces potatoes...
