Saturday night went much better than Friday night at the restaurant.  I only had a four table station, and picked up a couple random tables throughout the night but it was completely manageable and I think the guests got the best service from me.  And I think my service showed when I got a $100 tip on a $165 tab – nice! After getting home...

Using up one of my previously baked potatoes from last weekend, I scooped out the potato from half of a baked potato and scrambled that with egg whites and baby spinach.  Then when I got to work, I stuffed the scrambled eggs back into the potato half, topped it with two thin slices of hot capicola and a piece of Swiss cheese and broiled it...

More breakfast muffins were on the menu yesterday!  One of my bosses came in late because he had to go to the DMV, so when he got in I heated one up for him.  I think everyone needs a treat after spending time at the DMV!  He loved them and said it was a sneaky way to get vegetables into a breakfast! I was happy...

Right after Christmas my store had bags of fresh cranberries on the “poor people rack” as Tony likes to call it, marked down to .50 cents a bag so I bought a couple and threw them in the freezer.  The weekend before I bought 14 bananas on the $1 rack that when I opened my pantry, the smell of banana was so pungent I knew...

I heated up some more of my broccoli cheese breakfast muffins.  I love reheating these in the toaster oven under the broiler setting – the cheesy topping gets all nice and crispy. I picked up a big package of blackberries at Sam’s Club.  It’s usually hit or miss with them, but this time a BIG hit – so juicy and sweet. I had plans on...

I remember one birthday party for Hannah when she was five or six, I had the idea of baking bread in terra cotta pots, and after the girls ate the bread, they decorated the pots with sharpie markers and then that was their party gift to take home.  Thanks to google images, they looked like this: One bread I’ve never made from scratch was sourdough...

It was a good call taking the day off of work yesterday.  We slept in, I did some laundry and before we knew it, it was time to grab some lunch out.  There is a place we’ve been going to since we moved out here.  Always good food, and as soon as Tony suggested we go there, I immediately thought of a Reuben sandwich.  Holy...

Good morning!  I have the day off from my day job today.  I knew it was going to be a crazy busy weekend at the restaurant, so I decided to take the day off to spend it with Tony, otherwise I wouldn’t have seen him much at all today. We are back to breakfast tacos!  I actually think I am going to make a bunch...

Do you guys know what Snapchat is?  It’s an app where you send someone a 9 second video, and once they watch it, it just goes away.  My step-son sends them to me all the time – just random shit like his dogs, or his workouts.  Joe was a very picky eater growing up – so much so that he made Tony peel his hot...

Yesterday morning I woke up at 5:15 in the morning.  I was soaking with sweat which meant only one thing – my blood sugar was low.  Know what sucks about that?  Literally dripping with sweat inside a toasty bedroom to walk into a cold kitchen to check my blood sugar.  Yup.  It was 51.  No idea why.  It was 119 before bed, and usually when...
