Instagram Question

Instagram Question
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...

Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Blueberry Streusel Muffins
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...

Five Minute Naan Bread

Five Minute Naan Bread
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 am sick of 168

I am sick of 168
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...

Hatch Chile Chimichurri Sauce

Hatch Chile Chimichurri Sauce
Tony wasn’t feeling too well this weekend.  So while he rested in our bedroom Saturday morning, I got my cleaning pants on.  Our house is never dirty, but when I know someone is coming over, all of a sudden I realize I haven’t dusted in a few weeks, the baseboards could be scrubbed.  It’s like the domino effect, once I cleaned one thing, then I...

International Can It Forward Day Winner!
  Today is International Can It Forward Day!  I am so excited to try my new canner – I haven’t checked my sale papers yet, but by this time of year I can usually get Roma tomatoes for .49 cents a pound.  There will be lots of salsa to be made!   You can watch the live feed here to watch demonstrations.  I think this...

15 Minute Salisbury Steak

15 Minute Salisbury Steak
I cheated on Chobani.  For some reason I only bought two plain Greek yogurts this week.  So when I was putting my breakfast together yesterday, I grabbed one of Tony’s Yoplait yogurts. OMG, it was SO sweet.  I could only eat about 2 bites before I threw it out.  I guess I am just used to my tangy Chobani!  So don’t worry Tony, the rest...

Blueberry Vanilla Pancakes

Blueberry Vanilla Pancakes
It’s not very often that I want a sweet breakfast, but sometimes on the weekends that’s what I crave.  I love making up a big batch of pancakes because they are so easy to reheat during the week and the freeze so well.  We’ve discovered that Tony doesn’t tolerate dairy too well, although for some reason, yogurt isn’t a problem for him.  I discovered flax...

A letter from Tony . . .

As some of you are aware I recently I suffered yet another health scare. Unfortunately I went to our local hospital in January. I returned for similar problems a few months later. I became increasingly convinced that these Doctors had no idea what was happening. They were close to replacing my liver. I am of the opinion they didn’t have a clue what was wrong...
