While I am off learning about cows, I just wanted to highlight a few of my favorite bloggers this week. Abbe cooks and blogs over at This IS How I Cook. Abbe and I have been blog friends for well over a year.  I love her story telling while she talks about a particular recipe or dish.   She’s an empty nester who doesn’t pass...

I can’t believe I am flying to Texas tomorrow already!  A few months ago Karli invited me to another National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and Beef Checkoff event – remember the one I went to last October that was in Chicago?  So I was thrilled that she was inviting me to a destination event.  Check out some of the cool things on this all expense paid...

One of the best attributes I think my husband has is that once he sets his mind to something, there is no wavering.  If we decided to do a low carb diet, there is no one in hell you could tempt him with pasta or bread.  Me?  Once you tell me I can’t have something that makes me want to have it more!  So a...

For some reason I wasn’t that hungry for breakfast yesterday morning.  Just one of my Nature Valley copycat granola bars and a cup of coffee did the trick.   This batch I added 2 teaspoons of Giradelli cocoa powder, and they stuck together really well. Working a double yesterday, I skip the lunch time workout since I know I’ll be walking and on my feet for...

You all know I can’t seem to go too long without having some sort of taco, tostada, etc. It’s just that it is so easy to put together and so tasty! Take these breakfast tacos – you could easily spend Sunday morning putting these together and cooking them with just the eggs and cheese. Then store them in the freezer in packs of three. I...

We have had some chilly mornings – yesterday it was 50 degrees when I left the house, but truth be told, I think that’s my favorite temperature.  If I could live somewhere where it was between 50 and 75 degrees all the time, I would totally move there.  Poor Tony though is still sleeping under our down comforter! Breakfast was delish – kind of savory...

Thanks for all the well wishes for Tony yesterday!  We appreciate it!  And from your lips to God’s ear that we are done with hospitals for a while! I had so much time yesterday before going to my dr. appt that when it got time to leave I never made anything for my breakfast!  I seriously considered hitting up McDonald’s, but realized that I could...

How was your holiday weekend?  Ours?  Well, let’s just say it wasn’t the holiday weekend either of us envisioned.   We had to take Tony to the hospital after I got home from work on Thursday.  I was off site all day from my desk, and Tony left me a couple messages there that he wasn’t feeling well.  He tried to get a hold of two...

Morning!  Yesterday was a long day – I spent all of my work day at a storage unit going through old files – what we thought might have been a 3-4 hour project quickly turned into a six hour project.  I was on my feet all day. My nosh:  Breakfast – homemade McMuffin Once we determined that we would definitely be working through lunch, I...

Well, I always remember after I ate a parfait that I have a love/hate relationship with them.  I love how they taste, but boy do they spike my blood sugar!  I think its because I take my insulin, and then it takes me a while to eat it, and the insulin has already worked its magic and I am just eating food which spikes my...
