Indian Spiced Meatball Tomato Soup

Indian Spiced Meatball Tomato Soup
I had planned on going to the gym yesterday before work, but Tony was awake when I woke up so I chose snuggling over getting sweaty.  I knew the weather was going to cooperate later in the day, so I promptly fell asleep on Tony’s shoulder for 20 more minutes. 😀 I realized I never made my wonton cups for my egg white spinach breakfast,...

Cranberry Pecan Struessel Muffins

Cranberry Pecan Struessel Muffins
Sunday mornings are the most relaxing for me.  I’ve done my grocery shopping, I may have some laundry to do, but I like knowing I don’t have to be anywhere most Sundays. Hannah had to work in the early afternoon, so she and I had a diner breakfast at home – bacon, sauteed apples, eggs/egg white scramble and hash browns.  With some fresh coffee, this...

Weekly Menu

Weekly Menu
It’s weird but when I go to WW on Sunday and come back home, I am never hungry.  Which is weird because usually I need to eat within 1/2 an hour of waking up. So when Tony and I ran an errand yesterday, we stopped at Subway.  Tony is a fan of the footlong BMT – he eats half one day and the other half...

Weekly WI and Party Pizza Friday?

Weekly WI and Party Pizza Friday?
I had one super ripe banana and I had pumpkin waffles in my freezer, and thought of making a banana topping – I cut up the banana, added 2 tablespoons of skim milk, and 1/4 cup of sugar free pancake syrup, turned it on low and let it simmer while I took a shower.  The topping comes in at ony 1 point! 😀 When I...

I Love Bubbies Pickles!

I Love Bubbies Pickles!
Since Hannah and I had a lunch date with my bosses Dad for lunch yesterday, I didn’t give my meal plan a thought.  Until I got have way to work and realized “I never brought anything for breakfast!” I had an apple at my desk, and I borrowed an instant pack of oatmeal from someone in my office – a quick breakfast and only 4...

It’s Never a Good Sign . . .

It’s Never a Good Sign . . .
Hannah was up early yesterday, creating another lovely breakfast before her long day at school.  Monday and Wednesdays are her long days, and as much as she doesn’t like eating first thing (try two hours!) she realizes that she has to have a good breakfast the way her schedule is laid out. I contemplated jumping in and getting Bizzy in my Kitchen (I have a...

Police Escort?

Police Escort?
I am on my way home from work last night when all of a sudden I see my battery light flicker on and off.  Then my ABS light comes on.  Then the air bag light comes on.  Then the radio turns off, the lights shut off and I have absolutely no controls.  Even though the car is moving, it said I was going zero miles...

I have no choice – I need to be an AM exerciser.

I have no choice – I need to be an AM exerciser.
I knew that the temps were going to be decent yesterday, so I decided to forego my morning workout and sleep in a bit.  With the thunderstorms and rain, it washed away most of the snow on our drive – love it because I hate how icky days old snow looks, just dirty. Last time I was at the grocery store I found these buffalo...

Tony’s Home!

Tony’s Home!
We’ve been through this drill so many times we know exactly how to handle the possible discharge from the hospital.  What made this discharge massively tricky was that we had to have five doctors sign off that he was well enough to come home. Before I left for the hospital I made a quick oatmeal with sauteed apples and a few toasted pecans – so...

We Are Getting Close!

We Are Getting Close!
I am not going to say specifically when we think Tony will come home, because we don’t like to jinx ourselves.  Let’s just say he’s looked and felt better than he has in over a year.  The prednisone (sp?) is doing wonders for his gout – it used to be so painful to watch up stand up. Yesteray he just swung his legs over the...
