Mini Banana Poppy Seed Bread

Mini Banana Poppy Seed Bread
Good morning!  I have a little bit of a late start this morning as I have my semi-annual diabetes doctor appointment at 11:15 this morning, so I got to sleep in a bit this morning.  Enjoying a nice cup of coffee on what hopefully will be our last 90 degree weather of 2017.  Chicago broke a record for longest hot streak for this late in...

Sausage and Broccoli Frittata

Sausage and Broccoli Frittata
I am definitely going to the grocery store today, but I sometimes love coming up with meals using what I have on hand.  And 9/10 I can always find something to make even when it feels like the fridge is empty. Last Friday I made this sausage and broccoli frittata.  I had two lone links of spicy Italian sausage, egg beaters that I bought a...

Eggs in Purgatory

Eggs in Purgatory
As I was sitting through the rain delay at the farmers market yesterday, I loved reading all your ideas on pairing tomato sauce with eggs for breakfast!  I did end up making something delicious.  So simple and easy and this would be a great idea for a brunch to feed a crowd.  I made this dish two servings, but you could easily multiply it to...

Hacked and Sick

Hacked and Sick
If you are friends with me on Facebook, then you’ll know that my account got hacked over the weekend.  I knew something was weird when I saw over a dozen instant messages pop up one right after the other in the matter of a minute.  Um, turns out someone was using my Facebook account to send a porn video of all things.  It had my...

Everything Bagels
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...

Toasted Coconut Pancakes

Toasted Coconut Pancakes
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...

Skinny Pork and Apple Breakfast Sausage

Skinny Pork and Apple Breakfast Sausage
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...

One Pot Spicy Eggs and Potatoes

One Pot Spicy Eggs and Potatoes
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...
