‘weight watchers’

I had such a fun night last night with my friend Morgan. We went to the No Crumbs Left book signing, but didn’t get our books signed because the line was so long. We went out to eat afterwards – we went to Rosebud and didn’t get any beef! But I have to run now – have to meet my team to go to a...

I like stocking up on canned goods – so much so that sometimes Hannah says “Mom, if you buy one more can of black beans I am going to punch you.”  Ha! Canned potatoes are one of my favorite things to have on hand.  I did a poll on my Instagram yesterday and EIGHTY percent of the 1030 people who responded don’t use canned potatoes....

I’ve mentioned it before, but I usually write recipes on my train ride home.  Yesterday morning before I left for work I almost pulled out a pork chop to defrost in the fridge during the day, but saw that I had shrimp and not knowing if I was going to be working late last night, knew they would thaw quick and I’d make something with...

I am confident I never even tried butternut squash before I started blogging.  Back in the day, there was something called “BSI” which stood for Blogger Secret Ingredient.  The “host” was new each week, but they would pick an ingredient, and you had to make a dish, and that person who hosted picked a winner of all the recipes submitted, then would pick another host. ...

Guys.  You have to make this!!  I haven’t been this happy with a recipe I made on the fly in a while.  Most of the times I recipe develop on the train ride home, I get home, make the recipe as I’ve written it, and then had to tweak it.  Like a lot.  Not this Korean Pork BBQ sauce.   I grilled a pork tenderloin I...

Mini Cherry Pies Mini Cherry Pies.  Swoon.  And you know what?  There are only 4 ingredients in these mini pies:  refrigerated pie crust, canned lite cherry filling, egg yolk (mixed with a tiny bit of water) for a wash, and a sprinkle of course sugar.  That’s it! And guess where I found the reduced calorie cherry pie filling?  The Dollar Tree – who knew?  1/3...

  Let’s go back in time for a bit, shall we?  Maybe 25 years ago, I ate TWO apple fritters on the way to work.  Then I would get a frappuccino with my co-workers when I got to work.  That would be 41 points right there and it wouldn’t even be 10:00 a.m.! Lunch would be Sbarro – it was right by my old office...

If you missed my post yesterday, you need to make these salt and pepper biscuits – they made the best breakfast sammie.  Scrambled eggs, a tablespoon of bacon bits (1), 1/2 ounce cheese (2) and the biscuit (5) – so delish!  And super filling too – I didn’t even eat my lunch until after 2 p.m.! Our weather was stunning yesterday – blue skies and...

If I had worn my fitbit the last four days before yesterday, I may have walked 500 steps a day.  If that.  While I am still not 100%, I knew I had to get to work – one day away from work means two days to catch up.  Hannah was my Uber yesterday and she took this picture of me from across the train station. ...

I only left my house for one hour since last Wednesday night.  I was up at 6:30 on Saturday morning, and at 8:10 figured I may as well go to Weight Watchers.  I was really only going to go to weigh in, but I wasn’t coughing too bad, stood in the back of the room and enjoyed the meeting.  A woman made goal, several people...
