‘beef’

Spicy Beef Chili No one will know that there is ground turkey or tons of veggies in this spicy beef chili and only two Weight Watchers points! When I was in Atlanta at my friend Carla’s Weight Watchers meeting, a woman weighing in after her first week said “I am so sick of chicken and turkey!”  So I asked her “they why not eat some...

This grilled standing rib roast will be the star of your next BBQ! How do you grill a standing rib roast? We fortunately had very mild weather this Christmas so I decided to grill our standing rib roast.  The roast is still on sale at Mariano’s until December 28 – only $6.77 a pound! The secret to cooking any cut of beef is to know...

We are at the point of winter where one foot is still in cold weather, but we can see spring in the horizon.  This beef and carrots with gravy dish is perfect for this time of year. Next time you go grocery shopping, look for beef chuck boneless eye steak.  It’s super economical at around $4 – $5 a pound.  It does have a bit...

Today would have been my Dad’d 80th birthday.  Seems surreal.  He died 20 years ago, one month shy of his 60th birthday.  Who knew when I posted Happy 70th Birthday Dad! that I’d still be here – 10 years later! In case you were wondering, he told me I was his favorite, and that Hannah was his favorite grandchild.  It’s a secret I’ve kept to...

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I called my father-in-law to wish him a Happy Father’s Day, and called my step-son Joe – this is his fourth Father’s Day with his Dad.  Tony loved grey goose, and while Joe has tried in the past to do a grey goose on the rocks in honor of his Dad on Father’s Day, we both can’t stand...

Avocados have been expensive and not that great lately, so thank goodness for Wholly Guacamole 100 calorie packs.  They are three points, creamy and delicious, and super quick to make avo/egg toast for breakfast.  I just cooked egg whites in a bowl at home and then chopped it up and put it on my toast with the guacamole.  So delish.  And this mango?  So good!! ...

I get offers for free stuff just about every day.  Most of the time I just say no thank you – I don’t need to try your new straw, or artificial sweetener that you only need to use a drop to sweeten a whole batch of muffins.  But I stopped in my tracks when I saw that Pit Barrel asked if I wanted to try...

Knowing I was going out to eat I kept my breakfast and lunch light.  Um, I may have gotten a bit heavy handed on the hot sauce. 😀  Six points for breakfast. My sister and I kept checking the weather, and decided we would take our chances with the rain and walked the river walk.  We got half way down the path and it just...

Not going to lie, I was totally expecting a loss yesterday.  Two weeks in a row of. 2 losses, and I was telling myself “you are due!”  So I was a bit shocked about a gain of 1 pound. I’ve tracked just as much as I had last year and I was already down almost 9 pounds last year – and I thought “did I...

While I might complaint about it being dark when I leave work now, I will love the light in the morning when I wake up.  While it’s going to be chilly here, sunshine and puffy clouds will always make me happy, regardless of the temperature. I knew I wanted to work out after work yesterday, so I intentionally staggered my food.  I ate this “hash”...
