Beef Tostadas–or what I could eat every day

Beef Tostadas–or what I could eat every day
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...

Spicy Asian Shrimp Noodle Soup

Spicy Asian Shrimp Noodle Soup
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...

Let’s Go To The Healing Garden!

Let’s Go To The Healing Garden!
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...

Blogging Break

Blogging Break
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...

Caramel Apple Chobani Parfait

Caramel Apple Chobani Parfait
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...

Highlights

Highlights
It was nice having a leisurely morning, because we didn’t have to leave for my doctor appointment until 45 minutes later than I usually leave for work.  I ended up making a spinach, egg beater, ham and Swiss cheese breakfast muffin. We got to the appointment a few minutes early – Tony was happy to see Highlights Magazine!  We both grew up reading it at...

Low Sodium Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Low Sodium Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
I had every intention of making another breakfast parfait yesterday.  But I woke up HANGRY.  So I ate half of one of my copycat Nature Valley granola bars while I was blogging and getting ready for work.  I ended up eating the other half on my way to work with a cup of coffee.  I was busy right off the bat at work, and before...

My Big Toe Hurts

My Big Toe Hurts
Friday night when I was working at the restaurant, towards the last hour or so, my big toe on my left foot just started throbbing.  Like someone was poking a knife into it.  I just chalked it up to that my feet were just hurting, and I came home, put my feet up for about 45 minutes and then we went to bed.  Saturday I...

Snow in May?

Snow in May?
Turns out Mother Nature isn’t letting go of its winter grip anytime soon.  Yesterday I woke up, it was raining – no big.  I jump in the shower and come out only to see giant flakes of snow falling from the sky.  It snowed the whole way into work – um, it shouldn’t be snowy and 33 degrees in May.  Just sayin. It’s just weird...

I wanted to eat all the food.

I wanted to eat all the food.
I somehow have the task at my office to go to our off site storage unit to pick up old files people are looking for.  No big usually.  Except yesterday was 41 degrees.  Rainy.  Still no big deal.  Until I got to the unit and realized that the roof just slopes forward towards the front door of the storage unit.  Um, there are no gutters...
