Yesterday was another “throw shit in a bag” food day for me.  I kind of don’t mind those days – makes you get a bit creative I guess?  Breakfast was the last of my blueberry pancakes – I must have gotten interrupted because this is the one and only shitty pic of breakfast, but it was tasty! One of my co-workers asked if she could...

Since I was just grocery shopping mainly for me this week, I relied on my freezer yesterday for breakfast.  We have two refrigerators with freezers.  The downstairs fridge is usually “my” fridge for the bulky stuff like romaine lettuce, bags of tomatoes for salsa, etc.  But I forget that I put shit in the freezer all the time down there.   Sometimes six months goes by...

Yesterday we had a birthday celebration in our office.  Typically we bring stuff in for breakfast treats, and then have cake in the afternoon.  My contribution was my Copycat Nature Valley Granola Bars, and my blueberry lemon scones.  I made the granola last night while I was making dinner.  I have to say, I skip the step of toasted the oats and I can’t tell...

One of the first things I did when Tony was referred to Mayo Clinic was to call my insurance company and find out if Mayo Clinic is in network.  I have something called an HSA insurance over a PPO.   For us, we each have a $2,500 deductible, and then everything is covered at 100%.  You may recall that Tony was hospitalized on January 1 of...

I didn’t talk about it last week because Tony didn’t want to get his parents or his son and his daughter in law worried.  Remember the lab work we had done last week that was going to go to Mayo?  Well, they took one look at it, and basically told us to get straight to our local ER.  Damn – we went 12 days without...

I love Instagram.  I love how immediate it is.  I love how I can see what you guys are up to at the exact second its happening.  But what I don’t get is Instagram accounts like this: It’s a glass full of home made cookie dough and it says: “want to lose weight – just follow!”  And if you look on the account there are...

Aren’t you glad that today is here – the last time that I remind you to vote for my Pan Seared Pork Chop Dish!   Next Friday, August 29 I’ll find out if I was either one of the top two voted recipes who gets to go to New York automatically, or one of the two “judges favorites” that get to go to the cook-off in...

I posted a picture more than a week and a half ago about these blueberry streusel muffins I made for Tony the weekend we got back from Mayo.  He had a taste for coffee cake, so I decided to make a blueberry coffee cake in muffin form.  Since then I have gotten more than a dozen emails asking “Biz, did you post that blueberry muffin...

I like making omelets in the morning because I basically set it and forget it.  I get my 6 inch skillet out, spray with Pam and then add baby spinach, ham, 1/2 ounce of cheese and pour in the egg white – about 1/2 a cup.  Then I just put a lid on it over medium low heat and go about getting ready for work. ...

I have no idea where my breakfast picture went.  I know that my battery was about to die on my DSLR, so I thought I used my iPhone, but I guess I didn’t.  Over the weekend I made a batch of my Pillsbury Grand breakfast biscuits.  I followed my recipe to the T, except I think the only thing I didn’t do was press down...
