Asiago Cheese Bacon Scuffins with Dried Cranberries

Asiago Cheese Bacon Scuffins with Dried Cranberries
Stay tuned for a sweet and savory muffin recipe . . . er, or is it a scone – let’s call it a scuffin!  I am happy to report that Tony has been able to eat a little more this weekend.  He’s had chicken and wild rice soup and eggs with toast.  May not seem like much, but after 9 days of not eating solid...

The Perfect Hard Boiled Egg

The Perfect Hard Boiled Egg
I cannot tell you how happy we are to be home!  When Tony was in the hospital and slept, we usually turned all the lights off and turned the t.v. down – at least now when he’s resting I can do laundry and some household chores. 😀 So I am trying to put a meal plan together for the week and its a tough one. ...

He’s Home!

He’s Home!
When I went to the hospital yesterday morning to see Tony, none of his doctors had been by yet.  So I headed to work, but not without spending $1.65 at the cafeteria for 2 scrambled eggs, 2 turkey sausage patties and an english muffin.  When I got to work I toasted the english muffin, then with 1/2 ounce of cheese I had in the work...

1500, 172, 25 and 2

1500, 172, 25 and 2
1500 I can’t believe that today’s post marks my 1,500 post! I’ve said it before, but when I started this blog almost 2 1/2 years ago, I had no idea that I would form so many wonderful relationships from this blog.  That is especially appreciated during these last few weeks while Tony has been sick.  While sitting last week during his long surgery, every time...

Skinny Chicken Pesto Meatballs

Skinny Chicken Pesto Meatballs
When I got to the hospital yesterday morning, Tony was sleeping.  I didn’t want to wake him so I let him sleep another 30 minutes.  He woke up and saw me and said “please wake me when you get here – I don’t want miss any time with you.” 😀  (best line EVER!) The mornings at the hospital are a flurry of activity – between...

Each Day Gets Better!

Each Day Gets Better!
While I am sure Tony wishes he was already busted out of the hospital by now, he is doing really well, and his surgeon is very happy with his progress.  No one has made mention of when he is coming home, but Tony and I have been down this road before.  As I’ve said time just stands still at a hospital, so we go in...

Our Prayers Have Been Answered – No Chemo!

Our Prayers Have Been Answered – No Chemo!
After a roller coaster month, and Tony’s colon cancer surgery last Tuesday, on Friday we received the best news we could have possibly have gotten.  I wasn’t there when the oncologist came to see Tony, but basically he said “we took out all the cancer and I see no reason for you to do chemo.”  Hallelujah!  Prayers from relatives, friends and all of your positive...

I Made Soup

I Made Soup
After having this for breakfast every day this week: And hospital WW entrees like this one – baked ziti with steamed broccoli – 6 WW Points: I needed real food.  I spent the day with Tony – he’s super tired and unfortunately very nauseous.  See that plate of ziti?  I asked him if it would be okay to bring my lunch back up since he’s...

Doing Nothing Is Exhausting

I got home from the hospital last night and I just was drained.  It’s hard to believe how not doing much can be so tiring!  Some days I’ve gotten up at 6:00 a.m., gone swimming, then to work, then worked out at lunch, work some more and then come home and make dinner, and I am more tired today than that type of day. Tony...

He saw my face!

He saw my face!
Tony’s surgery was scheduled at 7:30 a.m yesterday morning., so I told him I would be there at 6:30.  I was running a couple minutes late, trying to get the dog outside since we would be gone for several hours.  He never did go outside, damn dog. Hannah and I are half way to the hospital when he called and said that they were taking...
