Another morning of getting up at 6:30 without hitting the snooze!  This is in preparation for my April challenge.  Aren’t you all on pins and needles just wondering what it is?  Ha!  You’ll just have to wait until Saturday’s post. I made quick breakfast tacos – I love this bag of tiny peppers that I got on my $1 rack last week.  It’s already Thursday...

Thanks for everyone who submitted their entries for BSI – Breakfast!  In no particular order: Brianne Made Chocolate Almond Banana Oatmeal: Tami made Buttermilk Spice Muffins: Debbi made Southwest Sweet Potato Hash: Jacky made Breakfast Quinoa with Blueberries and Pineapple: Sara made Oatmeal Griddle Cakes with Greek Yogurt: Rhonda made a Breakfast Lunch and Dinner Waffle: Lisa made Crockpot Breakfast Casserole (thanks to Google images...

Of course the day I decide that I am going to follow the Simply Living plan on WW, I knew that I was going to make The Sandwich King’s Pretzel Bun Hot Dog for lunch.  But I did okay for breakfast and dinner, and it’s all about balance, right? 😀 I knew that regular oats are a power food so I decided to see if...

Morning!  It was super foggy this morning and we actually have spring like temperatures.  When I left at 7:45 to go to WW, it was a cool 54 degrees – love it!  So you know I was all over the map this week, I only exercised three times this week, I had mindless eating AND it was my birthday week.  So I will happily take my...

I was chopping veggies and making salad dressing yesterday morning and suddenly I looked up and realized I had to leave the house in ten minutes!  Thankfully, you all know I am low maintenance, and was out the door in 8 minutes.  Can I just be thankful that my hair is long enough to put back in a pony tail? 😀  But since I was spending...

As I was watching Biggest Loser the other night eating cheese and crackers I realized how ironic it was. (and maybe a glass of wine 😀 ).  There I was sitting on my comfy couch cheering these people on, marveling over how fast they can run on the treadmill now just after 11 weeks, and I was doing exactly what got the contestants on that show in...

Knowing I was going out to lunch yesterday with my bosses, to keep the birthday calories to  a minimum, I had another breakfast parfait.  Did you know that 1 tsp. of brown sugar has zero points?  I sauteed apples and banans in 1 tsp. of brown sugar sprayed with Pam, then layered my Honey Chobani (4) with the apples and bananas (0) with 1/3 cup...

Wow, thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday!  Every time I heard my blackberry ding with another comment, it made me smile. 😀 Hannah had school yesterday, but she got up early and made me breakfast.  She said she went to four different stores the day before to try to find me a jalapeno cheese bagel, but couldn’t find one.  She settled on making me...

How the fuck did we get to be 44 years old?  Sorry Mom and MIL for the foul language, but that age seems a bit surreal to me.  That means we are middle aged.  But how can that be when I still feel like I am 29? 😀 I am posting some pictures many of you have seen before, but new readers may not have seen. ...

I totally forgot to post this recipe yesterday!  While this bread isn’t as stellar as the artisan bread, this was still a good loaf of bread – and the fact that you just throw 5 ingredients together, mix with a spoon and an hour and 15 minutes later you have fresh bread?  Awesome!  I found the recipe here, but I am rewriting it in ounces...
