This is a sad year people.  An email went out a couple days ago that because of lack of interest, no one was dressing up for Halloween this year.  WTF?!  I, of course, immediately sent an email and said that I was dressing up!  Two other people I know are going to dress up, but it isn’t the same if everyone doesn’t do it, you...

I have Nicole to thank for my delicious breakfast yesterday.  Although, once I adapted it, it’s really inspired by Nicole.  You can check out her original recipe here.  (Um, and much better pictures are on that post too!) Potato and Poblano Pepper Crustless Quiche 4 servings (cooked in a standard pie plate) 226 calories, 12 fat, 12 carbs, 1.6 fiber and 15 protein Ingredients: 1...

It happened yesterday.  I was standing at the copier, killing trees, when I was checking my WordPress App on my phone (so cool by the way!) and saw that I had passed 1,000,000 page views! Granted it took four years to get there, but the fact that I didn’t hit 100,000 page views until a year and a half in, I am pretty excited to...

The last couple days at work have literally been non-stop.  Which I love when its fast paced, but when you barely have time to stop and eat, that’s never good. We finally celebrated Boss’ Day yesterday.  We all brought in treats – I brought in chocolate coated granola bars (dairy free because I used semi-sweet chocolate to dip them in) and banana muffins with no...

I had to be at work an hour early yesterday morning.  So after getting up, taking a shower, getting dressed, blogging and out the door – I hadn’t fixed anything for breakfast and it was time to go. One of my guilty pleasures?  The sausage biscuit at McDonald’s.  It’s 370 calories, 22 fat, 30 carbs, 2 fiber and 14 protein – and while I know...

I think I am getting into an egg rut for breakfast.  I don’t like overly sweet breakfasts, except for an occasional scone – loves scones – Tony thinks they taste like ass.  I need to make my pumpkin scones again soon! I submitted this picture to Tastespotting and Foodgawker last year – they both said “poor food composition, underexposed, not sharp.”  Phooey – they taste...

We adopted our dog about 12 years ago from a lob rescue.  Before then, I had never had a dog.  Tony, however, grew up having dogs.  I swear it took longer to adopt our dog than it did for me and Tony to get married!  The rescue people were overly cautious about who adopted their dogs.  They even interviewed us separately and asked “is your...

Since it rained Thursday night, we had a leisurely morning because we needed to let the roof dry out before I could start more repairs.  I ended up making eggs and sausage, and toast with pepper jelly.  As soon as this jar is gone, I plan to make some homemade – does anyone have a family recipe for pepper jelly?  My Aunt Bea used to...

I had a taste for a bagel, so I stopped at my local grocery store on my way to work – score – the bagels were on sale for .33 cents each!  I went with an everything bagel this time.  Before I left work I microwaved the middle part of my bagel sammie – 1 egg, 2 slices deli ham and a slice of Swiss...
