I want to go to San Francisco!

Electrolux is teaming up with Foodbuzz at the 2nd annual Foodbuzz Festival.  They have an oven that actually has a Perfect Turkey Button!  How cool is that?  So they are asking for recipes for side dishes, appetizers or desserts since they already have the turkey cooking taken care of. I really want to go the Foodbuzz Festival – I have so many foodie friends in...

BSI – Pork!

and I’ve lost my exercise mojo.  I walked for 30 minutes before my blood sugar stopped me in my tracks.  When I got back to the office it was 60 and dropping fast.  Even so, I felt like I was just going through the motions – no purpose, no effort. Did you steal my mojo?! 😀   I need to find it – quick 😀 Breakfast...

BSI is Back!

Thanks for all your comments about my eyes – turns out I had viral conjunctivitis – I have to put drops in my eyes four times a day for the next 10 days and I should be good to go.   Look at how tiny the bottle of drops is – at a price of $65! I had another egg sammie on one of the rotis...

Monday . . . pink eye?

I woke up yesterday morning to crusty eyes – not sure why because I wear contacts that you throw away every day.   I wore my glasses all day yesterday hoping my eyes would get better, but they aren’t – especially my left eye.  I am waiting for the eye doctor to open and see if they can squeeze me in this morning and just go...

Project Food Blog – Challenge #2 – Welcome to Nepal!

It kills me when I think of what a picky eater I was growing up.  The only vegetable I ate were cucumbers.  Summers at my grandparent’s house were spent with me cracking blue crabs on a picnic table covered with newspaper, and while I was awesome at getting out the crab meat, it never once touched my lips! Since I make a lot of Mexican...

I made it to Round Two! and . . . Reuben Pizza!

I was so excited to learn that I made it to Round Two of Foodbuzz’s Project Food Blog! 😀  Now the competition gets more fierce – out of the 400 who made it to Round Two, only 200 make it to Round Three! So what is Challenge Two? “Any food blogger worth their salt can make a classic dish sing, but can they go outside...

Hot 100!

Yesterday marks 100 days before the end of the year and I am joining Steve’s Hot 100 challenge for the end of the year.  I’ve realized in the past week or so that I have had too many licks and tastes of things I am making, so I need to be more mindful.  So what are my goals? Lose 10 pounds.  Sounds easy doesn’t it? ...

Such a fun day!

First off – thanks for all your birthday comments yesterday! 😀 I got up early yesterday morning to finish the carrot cake – it needed to be frosted.  I used to have two 8 inch round cake pans, but as usual, I could only find one!  So I ended up putting all the batter into a 10 inch round so it was really tall.  I...

Happy Birthday to My Best Friend!

Tony is 50 today!  Tony and I met when he was 39, so I’ve been lucky enough to spend both his 40th and 50th birthday with him! I won’t embarrass him with a lot of pictures when he was little (for the simple fact I don’t have many!) but this picture is one of my favorites of him.  It’s funny, up until about sophomore in...

Happy 21st Birthday Joe!

I can’t believe my step-son is 21 already!  For new readers who may not know, I met my step-son when he was 10 years old.  It had to be so strange for him to see his Dad marrying someone – he was the best man in our wedding!  Let’s just take a walk down memory lane, shall we? One of the first things I learned...
