Last Thursday was the busy day of our whole event.  The morning started out with a bus ride to the Hale Center Feed Yard.  We were greeted at the bus with cowboy hats and breakfast boxes from Einstein bagels.   We had our choice – from their Thintastic Egg white Bagel sammies – each under 385 calories, and under 15 grams of fat.  I chose the...

Wow, what a whirlwind few days I had last week!  Did I mention that my flight last Wednesday was at 6:00 a.m., and that the car taking me to the airport was picking me up at 3:00 a.m.?  I ended up going to bed around 9:30 at night on Tuesday, and Tony actually woke me up as my alarm was going off and I didn’t...

Hey guys!  Hope you had fun meeting a few of my favorite bloggers these past few days while I was in Texas!   I missed all of you and can’t wait to catch up and see what you were up to while I was gone. I am sneaking in a weekend post because I realized I never posted this recipe (and I had several emails asking...

Debbi from Debbi Does Dinner Healthy and I have been friends for at least 4+ years now.   She’s a stay at home Mom, runs a day care and is an all around busy Mom.  She is also a great freezer prep cook – just check out all she made with twenty pounds of ground turkey! This is what I made Saucy Veggie Meatloaf – 3...

Ally from Sweet & Savory and I have been blog friends since I think right after she had her first child – and now in a few short years, she just popped out Baby #3!   Although while her first two children have the brightest blonde hair, somehow Baby #3 has dark hair and I keep kidding her about how that kid came out with...

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...
