I couldn’t post lunch earlier today since I spent my lunch at the dentist.   I know, I should floss!   He even gave me PRESCRIPTION mouth wash to use.  I ate soup and my teeth were very sensitive to it. Lunch Ramen noodle soup arnold sandwich thin 2 ounce deli turkey .8 ounce provolone pickled jalapenos mustard (lots!) 4 ounces watermelon Not sure what’s on the dinner menu...

Love her or hate her, I still like her recipes! [clearspring_widget title=”Every Day with Rachael Ray recipe widget” wid=”4897186634e01928″ pid=”48e2453ed4e54d3b” width=”300″ height=”250″ domain=”widgets.clearspring.com”]

Sunny and 49 degrees this morning!  Love it!  And the leaves are starting to change. At first Ed didn’t want to have anything to do with me.  He took my spot in bed when I drove my daughter to work.  Eventually he came out, so it was a short walk, maybe 20 minutes?  And no work out at lunch. . .I have a dentist appointment. ...

Okay, when I told my husband that we were having oven fried chicken for dinner, I MAYBE should have told him that it was oven fried chicken BREASTS! I found this recipe online at www.recipezaar.com (Recipe # 82102).  In order to bring down the calories just a bit, I dipped my chicken breasts in 1/3 cup fat free half and half instead of the butter. ...

We saw a cooking challenge on FoodTV recently, and one woman was making crab stuffed peppers.  They looked so good!  Well, I had two poblano peppers and came up with this with what I had on hand. 2 poblano peppers, seeded, cut in half 4 ounces chicken 1/2 cup Rotel tomatoes with chiles 2 ounces pepper jack cheese I cooked the chicken in Pam until...

My husband picked up a message on our answering machine this morning saying that there would be no bus service for school because of a house fire that was on the next street over. I immediately got the dog, grabbed the camera and headed up the street.  As soon as I turned right, and saw the firetrucks at the top of the hill.  I knew...

After coming home, putting the groceries away, chopping up the tomatoes, etc. I decided to make a simple meal tonight.  My daughter LOVES turkey cheddar brats.  They are Johnsonville brand and each one is only 120 calories and 6 grams of fat.  The more charred the better! I cut up one potato, drizzled with a little olive oil and french fry seasoning and oven baked...

Yes, after seeing the commercials, and being out and about with my daughter today, I had to try the Volcano Taco.  It was VERY spicy, which I loved.  I ordered two, but only ate one because I didn’t have the nutritional information.  SO GLAD I checked when I got home – each taco is 240 calories, and 17 grams of fat!  But it satisfied my...

Okay, not the healthiest way to start the day, but the bread I baked yesterday meant only one thing: French Toast! Denny’s French Toast 2 eggs 1/3 cup fat free half and half 3 tablespoons splenda 3 tablespoons flour pinch of salt pinch of cinnamon 4 one ounce slices of bread 1 teaspoon butter (to pan fry with butter flavored Pam) Mix together the eggs,...

Okay, I have tried to like salmon, but I just can’t get over the taste.  I think this is the fifth time I have tried it, but no such luck.  We used the cedar planks and they gave everything a nice smokey flavor though!  But I loved the Barramundi!  I marinated that in an Asian marinade: 1/2 cup lite soy sauce 2 tablespoons sesame oil...
