My Dad used to always joke that somehow when he was driving by Dunkin Donuts, somehow an apple fritter jumped into his car and made it’s way home to our house.  Huh!  My Dad was also insulin dependent diabetic, and I believe pretty much every food he ate was “insulin worthy” but none more than an apple fritter.   Well, the apple didn’t fall far from...

I have no idea what it is, but Friday’s at work seem like as long as Monday – Thursday does.  I had to laugh at some of your comments about office people eating other peoples food, and LTR sent this eCard to me and it had me laughing out loud! Thanks sweetie!  My egg cooker I normally use at work was in the dishwasher that...

Today is my MIL’s birthday!  Hope you have a great day Bonnie!   While she is in sunny Florida, um, let’s just say that I am not a fan of seeing this temperature in October: I usually never wear a coat to work until at least December, but I had to put a sweater on yesterday – there was frost on the ground too. While I...

I guess I’ve got recipe contest fever!  I’ve been entering any and every contest lately that I can find online.  Some you enter and then won’t hear if you’ve made it as a finalist or won for months, others need your votes to get through.   I entered Fisher Nuts recipe contest for the chance to win a trip to NYC, and meet Chef Alex Guarnashelli.  ...

I had the best breakfast yesterday – it was so flavorful and tasty, I might just fix it again today.  I used one of my naan breads as the base for breakfast pizza.  I scrambled egg whites with jarred roasted red peppers.  I put a teaspoon of Sabra red pepper hummus on the bottom of the naan, then topped it with baby spinach, the scrambled...

It seems lately like my life has been like the movie Groundhogs Day – wake up, blog, go to work, come home, cook food, watch t.v., go to bed.  Rinse and repeat.  So when Hannah discovered that she had asked for this past Saturday off a couple months ago, she asked if I wanted to meet her for lunch.  Um, yes please!  While I feel...

All week we had rainy, overcast weather.  FINALLY yesterday the sun came out, although it didn’t last long.  I drive past this tree on my way to and from work – I always tell Tony it’s my favorite tree.  He just thinks I am crazy to even declare that I have a favorite tree!  In a few days all the leaves will be gone.  It’s...

Lentil Bolognese You will want to add this lentil bolognese to your meal plan – perfect for meatless Monday! I can’t remember the last time I made an English muffin sammie for breakfast!  My store had English muffins on sale for .89 cents a package, so I couldn’t pass that up.  Mine had egg white, baby spinach, a slice of deli roast beef and Cabot...

I was going to walk a bit before work yesterday, but it was raining.  Although this morning I thought to myself “why didn’t you just put a jacket on with a hood on and suck it up?!”  Ha! Breakfast was two blueberry lemon pancakes and two pieces of sausage – so quick and delish.  I love that you can make a whole batch of pancakes...

It was one of those perfect crisp fall mornings yesterday.  Sun was shining, white clouds and a chilly 44 degrees.  One of my favorite things to do is ride with the windows down, but have the heat on in the car – it’s the perfect combination!  All that crisp air blowing my hair around made me feel so alive! I took the back roads to...
