‘healthy’

It’s funny because we’ve had such a mild winter so far, that when I left the house to walk yesterday morning I thought, wow, it’s a bit chilly!  I looked at my weather app on my phone and it was 40 degrees!  Spoiled much?! It was a bit windy, I guess that’s what made it a little cold, but I am not complaining!  After some...

As I was putting my food together before work yesterday morning, when I opened the pantry I saw that there was one lone everything bagel left.  I know Jacob and Hannah usually eat them, but I said “snooze you lose!” and brought it to make a breakfast bagel. Later on I put that on Instagram to let Hannah and Jacob know that I took the...

I had to do a Sam’s Club run for work yesterday morning so I had a little bit of extra time before I had to leave the house.  I had gyros on the menu for dinner last night.  My non-meat eating daughter LOVES gyros and my store routinely sells it in the deli for $5.99 a pound with tzatziki sauce so it’s quite the bargain...

Thanks for all the nice comments about my “do-over!”  It’s a clean slate, right?   And what better way to start the day than with an almond café mocha green monster. I drank it on the way...

What a wonderful weekend we had.  The weather was amazing, and I was really bizzy in my kitchen this weekend. I forgot to tell you yesterday that the flea market we went to on Saturday was pretty gross – I mean like worse than some garage sales.  But I did get a new fish spatula and some Greek seasonings, but other than that it was...
