Tony and I are really good about getting our flu shots each fall.  I usually use my sick days for wellness doctor appointments.  I talked about having a cough earlier in the week.  I don’t know what it was, but yesterday on my drive in my coughing fits got worse and worse. At work I kept trying to hold it in and not cough.  Around...

Since I had the day off yesterday, I didn’t get out of bed until 8:00.  I did my blog post, started to straighten up a bit and then all of a sudden it was 10:00 and I hadn’t had breakfast. This was amazeballs.  Two slices of homemade bread, 1 breakfast sausage, 1 cup baby spinach, 1/4 cup of egg whites, then 3/4 of an ounce...

Welcome Back Kotter was a t.v. show that aired between 1975 and 1979.  I was 8 when it started and 11 when it went off the air. I loved that show! Back in the day I was an avid letter writer.  It wasn’t uncommon for me to write a letter a day.  Probably around the age of 10 I decided that it was high time...

Thanks for all the ideas on how to get tar off yesterday – so glad I have alternatives next time that happens and I’ll walk away from the cleaning products to clean myself! I decided to make an English muffin sammie with one of my homemade sausages.  On the side was some of the best watermelon I’ve had all year – breakfast comes in at...

Or CLR.   Saturday morning I realized that I had bought some country sausage at the fresh market the previous weekend and I needed to cook it up.  I didn’t really look at the ingredients too closely, but added some fennel seed, salt and pepper to the mix.  It was not greasy at all. I ended up making 8 patties.  I had two patties, some delicious...

I finally used up the last of the filet mignon – there was only 1.5 ounces left, but it made this open faced English muffin breakfast – 1 english muffin, 1/2 cup egg whites, 1.5 ounces steak, baby spinach and a slice of American cheese split over the top of each half.  The cherries look like Rainier cherries, but my store calls them “yellow cherries”...

Wow, this has seemed like a long week for me but I am so glad its Friday.  Not only that, but yesterday we finally got a decent rainfall and the temps in the 70’s broke a 44 day heat wave Chicago had this summer.  Let’s hope it stays like this for a while. So I tried the Chobani Vanilla Chocolate Chunk vanilla yogurt and the...

When I was cleaning out my refrigerator the night before last, I realized we still had some leftover filet mignon from our dinner out at Ruth’s Chris over the weekend.  As luck would have it I still had bread leftover from when I made it over the weekend. I made this olive oil bread – it made two loaves, and while it was delicious, I...

Yep, I had another Green Monster for breakfast, although I do agree with a few of you that commented, I missed the “chew” of a meal.  I think these will make an appearance a couple times a week, but I miss my eggs and cheese in the morning! And I stole Tony’s cup – it’s the only tall one that has a lid so I...

I am so looking forward to a full grocery shop this week.  Yesterday was slim pickings to make my meals yesterday.  For instance, take a look at my breakfast tacos: I am sure you are thinking – what the hell is in there?  Try 1/2 a cup of scrambled egg whites, 1 breakfast sausage, and a cup of broccoli slaw.  I divided the mixture between...
