And there is nothing wrong with that!  As we got down to the tail end of the week, and after spending less than $30 for groceries this week, it was slim pickings.  I had some ground beef leftover, so I decided to cook that up and noticed I had 4 tostadas left in a bag in the pantry.  So beef tostadas were on the lunch...

It was another glorious morning for a walk before work – even a bit chillier at 56 degrees, but Kym, you’ll be happy to know that I never even entertained the idea of wearing a jacket. Breakfast was kind of a tasting plate – we are getting slim pickings as we end this week before leaving for Mayo.  I thought I grabbed some Cabot sharp...

Yesterday when I set out on my walk, I thought “I think I might need a jacket!”  But once I got going, it was fine – fifteen minutes into the walk and it was up to 66 degrees – it was perfect! I ate a handful of granola before my walk, then once at work put my breakfast together – I heated up one of...

I think the first time I had a scone was at Starbuck’s many many years ago.  It might have been one of the first Starbuck’s in Chicago – it was around 1990 and I was working at a law firm near the Board of Trade building.  I wasn’t as big as a coffee drinker as I am today, but I was all about their pastries...

I should have known my work day was going to be busy when my boss called me on a Sunday to see if I could come in early on Monday.  No problem!  My only problem was that I really didn’t think it through and had a breakfast that took a little bit of time to put together.  Luckily I grabbed a handful of granola and...

I hope everyone had a great long weekend!  Mine was the perfect blend of family, food and fun.   Friday I got my walking shoes on and walked down by the river.  Of course being the 4th of July weekend, the river was pretty busy.  Our house is across the street from the channel, so probably the equivalent of three blogs from the river, so we...

Okay, remember the part about me not sleeping in recently?  Well, I went to bed at 11:15 last night – a mere 15 minutes later than usual for me.  I woke up wide awake at 7:15.  I stayed up for about 20 minutes, checked out Facebook, Tony was still sleeping so I thought “why not go back to bed another hour and then get up...

My plan was to make crunchy breakfast tacos, but after putting my lasagna soup together I looked up at the clock and had literally six minutes to get out the door.  And for the record, I made it!  So I threw my breakfast in a bag and put it together when I got to work.  It helps having a panini maker at the office! Now...

I am a helper through and through.  If you need anything, I will drop everything and help you out.  It’s just my nature.  So once Skippy spoke on Facebook about her medication going through the roof cost wise, my brain went into overdrive!  Start a Go Fund Me, do a virtual bake/cooking sale, contact the media about how people how have never met have connecting...

How many of you have been to the Texas Roadhouse?  They have a bucket of peanuts on the table (which we always bring home for the squirrels) and they give you complimentary rolls with honey cinnamon butter.  Gah.  Nothing better than fresh bread and butter!  I brought two of the rolls we didn’t eat home, and made an egg white, ham, cheese and spinach egg...
