Robitussin is my new bff

I feel SO much better after taking this stuff!  I haven’t been sick in so long I didn’t even realize that I needed to sign off that I was over 18 to buy this stuff!   I got the non-drowsy for the day and then Tylenol PM for tonight.  All I know is that I am able to do things, like grocery shopping, without having to...

Mmmm….Ham Steak

Tony loves ham steak but I rarely think to get it.  When I was at Aldi last week I saw it and picked it up – this whole steak only cost $3.25!  I pan fried it in Pam for about 6 minutes a side. I heated up some premade hashbrowns in the toaster oven, and made us eggs/egg white scrambled eggs.  Delicious! I still haven’t...

Home Remedies and Easy Pizza

So although I have buffalo chicken pizza on my brain, we just ordered pizza tonight – I didn’t want to get my germs all over everyone’s pizza!   Next week that will definitely be on the menu!  So Tony has been on the internet trying to find home remedies for my cough.  It’s a dry cough, not a satisfying cough if you know what I mean! ...

Shrimp Soup for the Soul

I decided I needed to make soup for my cold/cough/flu whatever I have.  In between coughing fits, I heated up 1 can of chicken broth, 1.5 ounce diced carrots, sprinkle of lemon pepper seasining, Italian seasoning, 2 ounces whole wheat spaghetti and 1.5 ounces of shrimp, and lots of crushed red pepper, which made for a really spicy broth! I knew I wanted a protein...

It’s official . . . I am sick.

I could not stop coughing last night and for someone who is usually asleep 60 seconds after putting my head on my pillow AND not moving until the alarm goes off (and I usually don’t hear that!) I think I got about 4 hours of sleep last night.   I am glad I don’t have a sore throat though, I think that’s worse than coughing! So today is...

On Top of Old Smokey

Okay, so you know how I’ve said that Hannah doesn’t really like meat all that much?  Like almost never!  Except for chicken, any red meat is pretty much out of the question, unless its really tiny and cooked to death.  Any hint of pink inside and it will quickly be put in a napkin and placed on the side of her plate. She came into...

Are there. . .

some tasks that either you or your spouse are better at, so that job just is always handled by that person?  For me and Tony, its snow removal.  Tony is a master at snow removal!  The sidewalk next to our house, even the deck off the front door that we hardly used gets a clean sweep! Me, not so much.  If I can get to...

A different kind of sammie. . .

When I was at Trader Joe’s last weekend I picked up some white pitas – and made sure that they were the kind that you can open up and stuff.  I’ve bought some in the past that are just pitas and impossible to open up.  And these came in at only 120 calories! 1 pita 1/2 slice bologna (so good, don’t judge!) 1/2 cup egg...

It helps to have all the ingredients

when you do a menu plan!  I COULD HAVE SWORN I had zucchini in the fridge, but a thorough search proved fruitless.  On to Plan B!  Since we were having marinated tuna steaks, I decided to go Asian tonight.  The steaks are from Trader Joe’s and they are very reasonable – two steaks only cost about $5.50.  Now there is A LOT of marinade and...

My mystery soup . . .

Turned out to be pasta sauce!   As soon as I started thawing it in the microwave, and I started smelling it, I realized my mistake.  Oh well, I did have a back up! Since I didn’t eat my potato and chili yesterday, I heated that up and had it with my baby spinach salad I brought to go with my “soup!” 7 ounce plain baked...
