I was so happy throughout the day yesterday to look down on my phone and see a “friend request” on my Facebook app.  Yesterday morning we had 31 women in my Healthy for the Holidays private page on Facebook – this morning we are up to 57! Such great things going on: not eating office candy getting water in waking up at 3:45 before work...

I am actually pretty proud that I figured out how to open a private group on Facebook.  I’ve started a group called “Healthy for the Holidays with My Bizzy Kitchen” on Facebook.  You can find me at Beth Hills Velatini and I can add you to the private group.  We’ve got 31 members so far to cheer each other on this holiday season! I’ve realized...

I have been loving taking the back roads to work lately.  There is still traffic, but it keeps moving so the 30 minute drive doesn’t seem as long.  Yesterday morning was gorgeous!  I actually took these pictures while driving – but I didn’t look at the phone, I just took like 10 pictures and there were the only two that worked out. I’ve seen Meatless...

Thanks to everyone who entered my Blog’s 5th Birthday Giveaway!  I loved seeing where you all live!  The winner is. . . Min: 1  Max:  99   Result:56 Brooke: Not on a Diet Happy Blog Birthday to you! How awesome! It’s fun to look back and see how it all started and how horrible the posts were. I’m from Illinois (which you knew) and side note,...

I could not have been happier when 5:00 came yesterday.  It was a busy week at work, which I love, but I am glad the week is over. I love these tortillas – I stole this picture off google images, didn’t want you to think I was eating tortillas that should have been eaten by July of 2012. I ended up making an egg white/ham/cheese...

Thanks for all the wonderful comments yesterday on My Bizzy Kitchen’s 5th birthday!  Even though it was a super busy day at work, I kept looking down at my phone whenever another comment was left – I felt the love. So not having gone grocery shopping this week, it’s been . . . interesting.  I had half a spaghetti squash that was already cooked leftover...

Wow, I can’t believe I started this blog five years ago!  Hannah was still in high school, my step-son Joe was still living here.  We’ve been through a lot these last five years: Tony beating colon cancer, Hannah graduating from high school,  and Joe getting married, just to name a few! I have “met” so many wonderful people over the years, who I do actually...

I had such a great day off yesterday.  I was able to sleep in a bit and enjoy my coffee and half an egg bagel while I blogged before heading to my Mom’s house. I mainly ate the egg with cheese – the bagel was bought last week and sat in my car for a day before I remembered to bring it in.  It was...

Saturday was my nephew and his wife’s wedding celebration.  I am not calling it a reception per se because it was just a big party at Izzy’s parents house.  They move all of the furniture out of their living room and had long tables – seriously enough seating for about 80 people. I put on make up and did my hair for the second Saturday...

To my nephew Bob and his soon to be wife today, Izzy!  I’ve had the pleasure to know them together since probably 2007? Sadly, I know I have much better pictures of them, but after a 10 minute search, I had to give up.  I so do not organize my photos well (that may be a good Sunday football project this fall!). Izzy and Bob...
