I got to work yesterday and realized I never packed anything for my breakfast!  There was an office meeting and the bagels were giving me the stink eye, but I ended up having 1/2 cup of my granola that I had in my desk drawer, a chopped apple and 1/2 a cup of skim milk.  Breakfast comes in at 6 points. It was predicted that...

I have to make an apology.  Apparently when I’ve been updating my categories to put my recipes on my side bar, every time I hit update, it sends subscribers an email as if the post is new.  Sadly some of you have been getting 30 posts in your readers for posts that are a couple years old!  Not sure how to fix it, so until...

I hate when this happens.  I see a recipe I want to make, write down where I found it, proceed to lose it, but know I still want to make it – a brie omelet with mixed greens drizzled with balsamic vinegar reduction – could you let me know if that was your recipe?  I am pretty sure I could figure it out, but if...

My SIL and I hit up the Entenmann’s outlet on Sunday.  I wasn’t going to buy anything, but they had these Arnold Pocket Thins – in Italian herb – each half of a pocket is only 2 WW points. I decided to make an egg white/egg beaters scramble and stuff it into the pita half.  Um, I must have been really hungry because there was...

I had such a lazy day yesterday.  I stayed in my pajamas until 3:30 in the afternoon!  Usually I am up by 7 – gone to Weight Watchers, go to the store and am back home by 9:30.  I didn’t even wake up until 10:20! 😀 But it felt good to just lay around and watch t.v. with Tony.  Usually I feel guilty if I...

I realized something this week.  I am sure I’ve done it forever, but never really noticed it.  Turns out when I clear the table to clean the kitchen, if there are any leftovers, I take a few more bites.  The other night when I made chicken marsala pasta, I must have reached in the pan and eaten 4 – 5 more bites.  WTF? I am...

We woke up to about 8 inches of snow in our neighborhood.  Tony started to get dressed to snow blow our drive – I love him!  But this is what I like to call “heart attack snow.”  So Tony, your job is to get better, and I’ll take care of the rest – deal?! 😀 It’s super wet, and each shovel feels like its 20...

Saturday morning I woke up at 7 without a problem and got on with my day.  Yesterday?  I slept in until 7:30!  (I need to leave for work by 8:05).  But luckily, being the speedy person to get ready, I made it to work on time – and hardly any traffic – wish every day was President’s Day! Out of the 12 containers of Chobani...

I love Sundays.  I love lingering over the Sunday paper, drinking coffee – its probably the most laid back day for me. Not to say I am not bizzy though!  I did end up deep cleaning my pantry, computer desk and back room.  Let’s just say Hannah was impressed with my cleaning skillz! Since I ate such a late breakfast, it ended up being brunch. ...
