About a month or more ago, you may remember that a branch from my tree hit my neighbors roof and put a dent in their gutter.  Because there was no damage to my property, my insurance wouldn’t cover it.  They claimed that the damage was $5,000, they had to file a claim with their insurance company and will have to have their fireplace rebuilt –...

Last Friday my sister and I finally got to do our Fun Food Friday together.  It had been a few weeks because of my sisters work schedule.  My boss had reservations at Petterino’s, which is a restaurant just a block from my office.  My boss had 1:00 reservations, and he had to cancel, so I asked if he minded if I took them (he’s a...

I know a lot of people would be upset at temps in the low 60s in the middle of June, but that is my favorite temperature.  Just cool enough to need a light jacket, but you aren’t sweating balls walking to work.  I really wished I could have worked outside yesterday!  Oh, but wait, when I did that, I worked farmers markets and had to...

I don’t know what made me think to walk to the train station from my house.  To tell you the truth, I didn’t really know exactly how far it was from my house to the train station.  I am kind of glad that I didn’t look it up because it was 2.6 miles one way, and I may have had second thoughts had I known...

I spent ten minutes yesterday on the train planning my day – journaling always keeps me focused, and if I steer away from it, my healthy vision starts to get blurry. I had another picky plate for breakfast.  Hard boiled egg (2), deli ham (2) and 3/4 ounce Cabot cheese (3) and fruit. My sister is out of the office the rest of this week,...

I made another batch of my one point fruit sauce over the weekend.  I am lucky that Hannah goes in spurts of making fruit smoothies, and I have about five bags of frozen bags to choose from at any given time.  It made me think of all the things I’ve taken for granted while she has been living with me these last two years.  First...

We made it through Monday – whew!  It was fun reading all the comments about the creamed spinach – I think it was 25% delicious and 75% baby barf 😀 The winner of the Weight Watchers journal is . . . Emily “I love creamed spinach, haven’t had it in ages though. That is a beautiful picture of you and your mom!” Congrats Emily – send...

Crispy Buffalo Tofu Bites I can’t wait to share my crispy buffalo tofu bites!  UPDATE:  This original post was published in 2017.  Yesterday I made some changes to the original recipe, and both recipe cards are provided below.  I prefer our updated version!  The whole plate is only 3 Weight Watchers points! ++++++++++++++++++++= But first, I have to be honest, I was a bit surprised...

For some reason lately I’ve had a taste for pancakes.   Friday night I worked as the night secretary.  I actually volunteer when the opportunity arises because it’s overtime and a lot of times no one needs help, so I get the peace and quiet with no interruptions and actually get a lot done.   I didn’t get home until nearly 9 p.m. on Friday night and...

I know that’s a pretty bold statement.  What’s even a more bolder statement is that I tweaked the pizza dough recipe of Nancy Silverton, who basically spent years perfecting her pizza dough.  And do you want to know why I cheated on her recipe?  I was being frugal and used the flour I already had on hand.  While her recipe calls for bread flour and...
