‘breakfast’

Can I just tell you that this week flew by?!  Usually by Friday it feels like the first four days of the week are actually two weeks long, but these last four days for me just sailed on by.  Probably because I was doing everything that I love!  Going to Chicago, learning more about how to market my blog to make money, taking long walks...

I don’t make the focus of my having insulin dependent diabetes on the blog too often, for the only reason that it’s just so part of my life, I don’t even think of it.  Well, that’s a lie.  I think about it a lot throughout the day, from what my blood sugar is at any given moment of the day, to wondering how hard I...

As I am in my LAST WEEK OF WORK I’ve decided to bring in a few of my favorite dishes I’ve made into the office over the years.  Last week I brought a few people my chicken tikka masala, and I brought in a batch of blueberry scones. But most of my scone recipes call for a minimum of six tablespoons of butter, and most...

Monday night I had my make up yoga class.  I kept checking my email because all day long it looked like I was the only one that signed up.  I didn’t like that.  If I go to a group fitness class, I am the one with my mat to the way back of the room.  Like always.  What was I going to do if I...

Shhhh.  Don’t tell anyone, but today is my brother Charlie’s 50th birthday!  For some reason or another, my brother doesn’t want much fanfare for this birthday.  I mean, come on, what better way to celebrate than on your 50th birthday?!   I told him that I wanted to send 50 balloons to his office at the Apple HQ in Austin, but he quickly replied that he’d...

I guess the most positive thing about not having my wine at night is that I am WAY more productive!  I guess I considered drinking wine an activity, so I was busy drinking wine, no?! I signed up for my 75 minute hot yoga in the middle of last week and I wasn’t sure how to prepare for it diabetes wise.  My sister told her...

I am one of those people that can kind of roll with the punches.  It’s just my nature, if I get knocked down, it might take me a while, but I’ll eventually dust myself off and move on.  Change is scary and it’s good all at the same time.   So I’ve decided to change things up.  First off – I have a new look on...

I love the store Sur la Table.  There is one about 5 minutes from my office and it’s not unusual for me to go in there a couple times a month and drool over the $400 sauce pans.  You may think there is nothing there in your price range, but all stores have a discount section in the back of the store, and they also...

Stay tuned for a sweet and savory muffin recipe . . . er, or is it a scone – let’s call it a scuffin!  I am happy to report that Tony has been able to eat a little more this weekend.  He’s had chicken and wild rice soup and eggs with toast.  May not seem like much, but after 9 days of not eating solid...

We had probably the best Halloween weather we’ve had in a long time.  Trick or treating started at 4:00.  I took my bowl outside and decided to sit on the top stairs of my deck. No one was coming by, so of course I had to take pictures of leaves and trees! 😀 After only two groups of kids came by within an hour, I...
