‘weight watchers’

I loved reading all your comments yesterday on my Blog Anniversary – so many readers who have stuck with me for years – I love it!  I forgot to mention that I am running my giveaway until I pick a winner on Friday – so good luck!  And, I did find out that my last giveaway recipient in Canada got my BBQ sauce!  It only...

Black Sesame Naan Bread Over the course of many years of blogging, I sometimes didn’t categorize my posts so that someone could actually find the recipe they are looking for, like this black sesame naan bread.  The recipe card was also missing, so this post is being updated in August 2025 to include the new recipe card.  I’ve otherwise left the post exactly as written...

Hanging out with Hannah yesterday morning was so nice.  The weather was perfect outside and it was just nice to catch up with her one on one.  Jacob and Hannah went out to eat last week when I was working one of the night markets.  Um, turns out they don’t cook a lot if I am not home.  When I was meal planning with what...

August 1st?  Really?  I can’t believe it.  This summer is going by way too fast, so I took the morning “off” and sat outside with Hannah this morning for a couple hours and we ate breakfast outside and chatted, caught up, watched youtube videos and drank coffee and water.  It was glorious! Last Friday I made a breakfast pizza, and a bunch of my WW...

Zucchini Lasagna Rollups These zucchini lasagna rollups are a great way to use up summer zucchini. I’ve been making the excuse lately on the days I work the market, that because my job is a lot of manual labor (packing up coolers, packing up my car, unpacking at the market, repacking after the market, putting everything back when I get to the shop) that I...

I had a very productive day yesterday!  I think I am getting used to all the manual labor, because I wasn’t as lethargic yesterday like I normally am after working markets two days in a row.  #winning!  I made a list of everything I wanted to get done, and did it all except get gas, but I can do that today.  It was gorgeous out...

Yep, the queen of maintenance is what you can call me! Up .8 for the week, and up .4 since April 21, so basically the same as when I started going back to WW meetings.  And while I wish the scale was going down, I do know that being aware of what I eat has prevented me from being 200 pounds by now.  This last...

Last night I was pondering where I am in my life and how different things are.  Two years ago this past weekend, I was working a second job at Zeal: Tony had already been hospitalized locally three times by May of 2014.   In June, July and August was when we made our treks to Mayo Clinic.  All while holding down a full time job, but...

So after three completely different job interviews, I’ve decided to work Farmers Markets this summer.  Right now I am on the schedule for three a week – Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.  The reason I chose this job is because I love the idea of being outdoors working in the summer.  Just remind me when it’s 95 degrees and I am melting.  And second, it will...

Spicy Thai Red Curry Beef I first made this Thai red curry beef in 2016.  Declared it delicious and in true blogging fashion, never made it again until this week.  So I am keeping the original post below so you can see how crazy my blogging style was back then. In all seriousness, this dish will be on the regular rotation.  With the new Weight...
