Breakfast Pizza/Chili/Spinach Fettuccine

Breakfast Pizza/Chili/Spinach Fettuccine
I hope you have a full cup of coffee before starting to read this monster post – although it will mostly be pictures! I am glad everyone was so concerned over my not having pizza Friday night.  Don’t worry – I took care of that as soon as I woke up Saturday morning! I love the yolk like that – not runny, but slightly tender...

BSI – Tofu!

Thanks to Run Beans Run for hosting the BSI recipe contest this week!   I was glad she chose tofu because I already had some in the fridge! 😀  I had been tossing around an idea about making orange chicken but subbing in tofu.  I didn’t have any honey, so I decided to use a tablespoon of my red pepper jelly – it worked! Let’s face...

No Party Pizza Friday?

I can’t believe I even typed the heading of this post!  But yes, we had no pizza last night 🙁 I started out my day with the best grapefruit!  Fresh from my parents-in-law’s backyard!  And ruby red is my all time favorite.  I sometimes put honey on the top and put it under the broiler – when I asked my MIL if she had ever...

New Feature of BDL!

Thanks to Gina, I found www.caloriecount.com and I love it!  The best feature is that you can enter recipes and it will give you an individual grade on how well that recipe is – and tell you what the good and bad parts are about it.  I still haven’t figured out how to cut and paste the label in my post yet (help Gina!), but...

Great ideas!

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions on how to get a better nights sleep.  But with all your ideas, no one recommended this, which is what I did! Yep, I took the easy way out and had a bit of wine before bed.  My Mom did suggest Sleepy Time over the counter sleep aids, but I forgot to pick some up on my way home.  ...

Insonmnia

Last night was the second night in a row that I’ve had trouble going to sleep.  It is so not like me.  I am notorious for my sleeping abilities, and am usually sound asleep within 5 minutes of my head hitting the pillow.  I am the one at family events that sneaks off to take a nap for three hours and still not have any...

It’s Your Life

Hannah had this song on her iPod (I actually almost typed eyepod!) while we were driving to lunch on Sunday.  This was the song that they played at the end of the last episode of Jon & Kate + 8.   I liked the acoustic version though.  I loved the lyrics! This is the moment It’s on the line Which way you gonna fall? In the...

New Friends!

It still amazes me how many different people I have become friends with that I never would have run across in my every day life!  Today I met a fellow blogger – we have been following each others blogs for probably almost a year if not longer?  She lives in Milwaukee, but she and her boyfriend were hitting up Woodfield and Ikea and asked if...

Awesome Grocery Shop!

Am I the only one who gets a kick out of saving a ton at the grocery store??  I shopped at our local Dominick’s store, which isn’t where I normally do my full grocery shop because it is more expensive than our ethnic grocery store with the awesome deli and produce.  But the sale flyer was just too good to pass up! What’s on the...

Party Pizza Friday!

Okay, I think Tony has about had it with party pizza Friday.  I never mention what’s for dinner on Friday’s because I already know that I am going to make pizza!  So I was bringing up the stand mixer from the basement and he asks “what’s for dinner?”  I hem and haw, but then meekly say “deep dish sausage pizza?”   While I could eat pizza...
