It’s All About the Cheese and Weekly WI

It’s All About the Cheese and Weekly WI
Thanks for everyone’s patience on my $25 Cabot Cheese giveaway – I posted it on April 6, and then with all the work drama quickly forgot about it. šŸ™  Really, how could I forget the cheese?! There were some wonderful entries, but I narrowed it down to my Top 5 and will pick a winner from that group. First up:  Debbi Does Dinner Healthy made...

We just laugh!

We just laugh!
Growing up my Mom went back to work when my sister and I were 8 years old.  At the time I thought it was so cool that my Mom had to take a bus and the “L” to work – of course years later I learned what a hassle commuting was. There was a gas station on the corner where my Mom got off the bus.  Inside...

Best Chicken Tacos!

Best Chicken Tacos!
It’s funny because at work, I am extremely organized.  If you need to find one piece of paper, I am the one to find it.  Tony always jokes with me that I leave my organizational skillz at work and they don’t make it on the drive home. šŸ˜€ I’ve spent the last few days organizing at work, and it’s funny, I think “I wonder if...

1 Point Blue Cheese Sauce and BSI – Broth
I forgot to tell my MIL before she left how much I enjoyed the grapefruit she brought me from Florida – she also brought me oranges too. šŸ˜€  My friend Jacky reminded me of a great way to eat grapefruit – which is to broil it.   While Jacky used sugar, I used 1 tsp. of honey per side.  This is a messy dish, the grapefruit...

Saddest Text Ever and Flashback Friday
My parents-in-law are in town for Easter weekend.  They picked up Tony and then headed in the direction of my new office to have lunch with me.  Just before I left, I got a text from one of my WW buddies at my old office.  When I left on Monday I saw that she had a couple of my lunches (a soup and something else...

Holy Yum – Buffalo Chicken Burgers

Holy Yum – Buffalo Chicken Burgers
I still need to work out my timing on getting things done, now that my commute is longer – it took me 40 minutes to get to work yesterday morning.  I already had my lunch figured out, but stopped by the store and picked up some energy bars (they are with the bagel section) and some Jimmy Dean turkey bowls to put in our freezer...

There’s No Stove.

There’s No Stove.
What a crazy day yesterday was!  I’ve been intimating that my work life has been anything but stable these last few weeks.  The shoe has finally dropped so now I can finally talk about it. My one attorney left a few weeks ago with another attorney to start their own firm.  They took a big chunk of the clients with them.  No worries, we still...
