I woke up yesterday to make zucchini lasagna for our lunch at work yesterday.  Before I knew it, it was time to leave for work, so breakfast was 3 leftover almost mock buttermilk pancakes with 3 ounces of sliced turkey breast – which actually tasted really good dipped in the pancake syrup. 😀 I had a work obligation and only had 45 minutes – not...

When I got home from work yesterday, Tony asked me to guess what he had for lunch.  He said it was something we had in the house – it’s such a fun game we play (feel free to gag at this point if you wish!).  Anywho, he told me he had some of my schiacciata bread with thinly sliced proscuitto.  I instantly knew I wanted...

A while back I mentioned that I was being interviewed for Diabetes Forecast magazine.  I talked to the reporter for about 30 minutes about how I carb count, how I handle insulin and exercise.  Well, I got one tiny paragraph – but at least I am number one! Check out the article here – and pass it along to any diabetic family or friends you...

Wow, two posts over the weekend!  I realized that I am doing my giveaway tomorrow, so I decided to post my Bizzy Weekend eats. 😀   While I already submitted my Pork Chops with Lemon-Thyme Sauce to this weeks hostess, Heather from Girlichef.   But I had buttermilk pancakes on my brain this morning – only one problem, I didn’t have any buttermilk! But that didn’t stop...

I went to Weight Watchers this morning . . . I am up 1.6 this week.  Not sure if I didn’t guestimate the points on my birthday right, but I am not going to get discouraged – I’ll just keep on doing what I am doing, and maybe not have as much wine this week! 😀 My lunch was so good yesterday, I had to...

I love that people have been asking how Tony’s doing – either in comments or in side emails.  We are just over five weeks after his colon cancer surgery and I am happy to say that he’s doing a lot better!  This has been a hard recovery.  Since they removed so much of his colon, let’s just say that it takes a while for things...

Last month I had the privilege of giving away copies of Rocco Di Spirito’s new cookbook, Now Eat This.   Imagine my surprise when I got an email from the same publisher, offering me his new book Now Eat This Diet to my readers!   Now I know the world is all about green monsters and smoothies – I am quite possibly the very last food blogger not to...

I was hoping the weather would have been a bit better on my day off yesterday – we had temps in the low 40s and it was rainy.  That didn’t stop us from having fun though! I did get up and go swimming!  I got to the gym at 7:40 and every single lap swim lane was open – I swam from 7:45 to 8:25...

I did a really good grocery shop over the weekend.  I only spent $61!  I am sure it was hard for Tony to be in the living room when I am cooking up a storm on a Sunday – but you guys – Tony doesn’t really like 75% of the food I make.  No joke.  I think he prefers Progresso over my homemade soups –...
