Happy Birthday Charlie!

Today is my brother Charlie’s birthday!  If you could leave a Happy Birthday comment, I would appreciate it!  Hope you have a great day Charlie!! 😀 Breakfast was a low carb egg white/ham/cheese wrap with a kiwi on the side – I forget how much I like kiwi’s and last week my store was selling them for 10 for $1! My soup was inspired by...

Another Award!

SuziCate is a new blog to me – its weird how you can stumble accross a blog and think “how did I not find it sooner?!”  She is a wonderful writer and I am so glad  I found her.   I need to write about 10 things that make me happy – that’s easy! Kissing my husband.  Seriously, best kisser EVER! 😀 Snuggling with my daughter...

William Sonoma Cooking Class – Pasta!

Before I get on with the cooking class – look how pretty my breakfast was!  1 cup cooked quinoa, 1/2 chopped apple, 1 ounce chopped almonds with 1 tablespoon of agave nectar – I am loving the agave nectar!  If you haven’t tried it yet, you can get it at Trader Joe’s for I think $2.99 a bottle. Lunch didn’t work out as well.  I...

Do Over.

Breakfast was delicious.  Plain Chobani greek yogurt, 1 tsp. agave nectar, 1.5 ounces of Sophia’s granola (almost gone!) and 1/2 cup diced apple. But then an impromptu lunch, and any sort of game plan for the day went out the window! So while I had fried chicken on the menu for dinner, it was meant to be on a day that I had a healthy...

Jesus First and BSI – Cheddar Cheese Winner!

Okay, so last week in one of my 7 Things About Me, I mentioned that I had to wear a Jesus First pin in my class picture because my grandma was a tad over religious!  After a quick search through my pictures, I thought I had it, but couldn’t find it.  But my Mom came to the rescue! She sent both me and my sister...

Twin Fest

Was so much fun!  We typically don’t get together during the months of November and December, so we had a lot to catch up on! First Tony and I went out to breakfast – in our town, not our typical Mama Rini’s.  It was just okay.  They have breakfast specials for $4.95, so I decided to get this:  2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2...

Reuben Pizza. . . SUCCESS!

Reuben Pizza. . . SUCCESS!
This pizza was so good that’s all I am going to post about!  But I do have to give Hannah a shout out – she brought me a skinny latte on her way to work yesterday – perfect pick me up – thanks Hannah! Oh – and I have another piece of advice for you.  If you eat chili for lunch and then try to...

I had no idea.

Ever since finding Kelly’s site (which I love!), I’ve been using SparkPeople (which is free!) to track my calories, fat, protein, carbs and fiber.   You can add other nutrients, but I didn’t really think about anything else.  That is until I started putting together recipes and packaged products my friend at work can buy, so that she has no more than 1500 mg of sodium...

7 More Things

Christina tagged me the same week that Errign did, so I decided to wait to tell you 7 more things about me.  Were you waiting with breathless anticipation??!! 😀 My grandma on my Dad’s side lived with us for several years.  She was a stern, overly religious person, who would routinely request my presence on Sunday mornings to watch Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson – televangelists!  ...

Pepper and Eggs

When I worked at a bar in my 20’s, during lent one of the cooks I worked with used to order a pepper and egg sandwich on Friday’s during lent.  At the time I thought it was the most disgusting thing, but as I grown up, I’ve discovered I LOVE peppers!  Yesterday’s breakfast was a take on that sandwich: a 1 point WW pita, 1/2...
