Tony made me one of his signature breakfasts on Saturday – breakfast burritos!  So good, but one was plenty, so the dog got to share with me. Saturday after Tony and I got back from the grocery store, I was a cleaning fool.  I did two loads of laundry, deep cleaned the bathroom and deep cleaned my kitchen.  I was non-stop for about two hours,...

This is one of Tony’s favorite commercials.  Every time it comes on, he has to watch it to the end. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aKYZFcmAmU&w=448&h=252&hd=1]   It got me thinking that this Play 60 might be a good challenge for me for the month of February.  If nothing else, it will get me active over the weekends.  While housework is moving, it’s not all that challenging! I normally work...

I read a fantastic blog post yesterday from Lori at Finding Radiance.  She’s lost 100 pounds the old fashioned way – watching what she eats and exercising.  No short cuts, no diet pills, just dedication.  She’s redoing their bathroom and she made the analogy between renovating and weight loss.  The last line of the post is what struck with me the most: It is a...

I’ve been telling my boss about the Green Monster for a while.  I kept telling her that it’s high in Vitamin A, calcium, and iron.  That you really can’t taste the spinach – it tastes like a banana shake to me. I decided to make us mini bagel breakfast sandwiches and we’d split a serving of the Green Monster.  The only thing I’ll do differently,...

As is becoming our tradition, Tony made me breakfast both Saturday and Sunday while I did some computer work.   Saturday was spicy eggs and hash browns. Sunday was apple french toast and hash browns.  I shared some of these hash browns with dog.    Tony put some apples in the smoothie maker with the milk and egg batter – these were really good.  And...

When I was a younger man I fell in love with a taco. Not just any taco, but the Jack in the box taco. Greasy, crispy and devoid of any nutritional value. That hot little goodness laid on top of any alcohol that I had consumed like a trusted blanket. The local Jack in the Box was a place for everyone to go for food,...

A few years ago Tony and I saw a stand-up comic.  He said he went to the doctor and found out he had diabetes.  He called his mother and said “Momma, I have some bad news.  I have diabetes.”  The Mom reacted “What do you have?!”  He said “Momma, I gots the sugars!”  And the Mom cried “Oh no!”  Ever since then, Tony and I...

It’s been interesting making breakfast for my one boss.  I know she likes a sweet breakfast over a savory one, not to say that she doesn’t like my potato crusted quiche, but I need to make her sauteed apples on the side for a sweet note. But I have to keep the point value relatively low – she likes to have more points during the...

Red cabbage and apple sauerkraut is going to be your go to side dish – so delicious! Even with temperatures below zero, I still don’t mind having a green monster for breakfast!  If you haven’t tried one yet, I strongly suggest you try it – even though Tony can’t get past the color of it (or the fact that there is spinach in it) you...

What a wonderful weekend!  It went by in a flash though, as most weekends do.  Saturday I spent the day with my family – my Aunt from Virginia was in town and today my Mom and Aunt are flying to Vegas for the week.  They have a couple shows they have tickets for already: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVRDvR7pjN4&w=448&h=252&hd=1] I remember seeing Terry Fator from America’s Got Talent –...
