BSI – Parmesan Cheese!

Knowing I was going to a French bistro for lunch, breakfast was easy – 1/2 a bagel with 5 calorie butter! It made sense to meet my Mom at the restaurant – we got there right at 11:30.  At first glance it didn’t seem like the restaurant was even opened, but by the time we left almost every table was full! We started out with...

Boston Style Coffee

Growing up my Dad had his art studio in the basement.  The coffee pot was the first thing going every morning, and would be on all day long.  My Dad would shout out from the basement “can someone throw me a pack of cigarettes and bring me a cup of coffee?” I’d open the drawer that had the carton of cigarettes – Virginia Slim Menthol...

Fail to Plan . . . Plan to Fail

Yesterday morning I had plenty of time.  I’d made the Cooking Light Mac n Cheese the night before, I was drinking coffee, finishing posting my blog, reading some of yours.  I took a shower, got dressed get everything in the car and as I am driving to work, I realize: I never packed my breakfast! I only had time for McDonald’s.  I ordered the breakfast...

Morning!

Yep, couldn’t think of a better title than that!  Thanks for all your support with my last post about my numbers – I am glad I was able to push a few of you to get your blood work done!  😀 Nicole is going to post about triglycerides on her blog today – check it out if you have a chance!   She also answered a...

Good News and Bad News

So I had my quarterly doctor appointment with my endocrinologist last week, and I got the results of my latest blood test.  Know your numbers! Not just for diabetics, but you should have your blood work done at least once a year to see where you are. Okay, I am off my soap box!  The critical number I always look at is my A1C number. ...

Red Pepper Soup

Red Pepper Soup
I was back to the good ole egg/cheese/ham sammie for breakfast yesterday – except this time my cheese of choice was pepper jack.  My store had it on sale for $1.99 a pound!!  So spicy and good 😀 Does anyone subscribe to Bon Appetit?  I am actually really starting to like this magazine.  In the front they have people write in asking for recipes they’ve...

We lucked out!

I haven’t looked at the forecast for today, but we were supposed to get 8-12 inches of snow overnight – we maybe got two? After making pancakes for breakfast yesterday, I baked up the rest of the whole grain artisan bread from last week – although I put garlic seasoning on the top of these two loaves. Before going grocery shopping yesterday, Tony and I...

Lunch with Mom and BSI – Cocoa Powder

Tony and I woke up yesterday morning at 7:30.  I decided that was WAY too early to get up on a Saturday, so I turned over and went back to sleep, only to wake up at 9:00 – and I still needed to blog and get out the door at 10:00 to meet my Mom!  But being the low maintenance gal that I am, I...

Party Pizza Friday = Happy Biz!

I was out of my wheat rolls, so I kind of missed my egg in a bread bowl yesterday!  But I ended up making a hash that looks like ass, but it tasted delicious!  Diced canned potato, diced zucchini, 1/2 ounce fontina cheese and 1/2 cup egg whites.  On the side was a peanut butter/apple arnold bread sammie: Before our 45 minute walk, I tested...

It was a Great Day!

Wow, thanks for all of your comments on my last post!!  I have the best cheerleaders! 😀 What made yesterday a great day?  I brought these for my desk! And it was a re-run for breakfast! I realized that I never showed you what the inside of the roll looks like!  Yesterday I shredded 5 ounces of zucchini, squeezed it dry and added it to...
