Refried Bean Soup for One and Steak Diane

Refried Bean Soup for One and Steak Diane
Thanks for all your comments yesterday about Tony making me dinner.  And yes, that does mean he’s feeling better.  He’ll feel even better when he’s not plugged into a wall anymore though!  The home health care nurse came by Monday to change his sponge, and his wound looks “pink” which is a good sign. Even after I told Tony that each slice of his delicious jalapeno...

Heaven on Seven Jalapeno Corn Bread

Heaven on Seven Jalapeno Corn Bread
My SIL and I hit up the Entenmann’s outlet on Sunday.  I wasn’t going to buy anything, but they had these Arnold Pocket Thins – in Italian herb – each half of a pocket is only 2 WW points. I decided to make an egg white/egg beaters scramble and stuff it into the pita half.  Um, I must have been really hungry because there was...

I Grill in Winter so it Smells Like Summer

I Grill in Winter so it Smells Like Summer
I had such a lazy day yesterday.  I stayed in my pajamas until 3:30 in the afternoon!  Usually I am up by 7 – gone to Weight Watchers, go to the store and am back home by 9:30.  I didn’t even wake up until 10:20! 😀 But it felt good to just lay around and watch t.v. with Tony.  Usually I feel guilty if I...

New Look . . . No Weigh In

New Look . . . No Weigh In
I realized something this week.  I am sure I’ve done it forever, but never really noticed it.  Turns out when I clear the table to clean the kitchen, if there are any leftovers, I take a few more bites.  The other night when I made chicken marsala pasta, I must have reached in the pan and eaten 4 – 5 more bites.  WTF? I am...

I love him.

I love him.
We woke up to about 8 inches of snow in our neighborhood.  Tony started to get dressed to snow blow our drive – I love him!  But this is what I like to call “heart attack snow.”  So Tony, your job is to get better, and I’ll take care of the rest – deal?! 😀 It’s super wet, and each shovel feels like its 20...

Bananas Foster Bread Pudding and Applebees

Bananas Foster Bread Pudding and Applebees
This will be the last of my breakfast parfaits for a while – it was my last Chobani!  But I think I saved the best for last. The flavor was apple cinnamon, so I decided to carmelize a Fuji apple in 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar for my fruit layer – Fuji apples are my favorite apple – they never...

Biz & Tony Eat Onions?! The Sandwich King Made Us!

Biz & Tony Eat Onions?!  The Sandwich King Made Us!
We had a wintery mix yesterday morning, but I knew that I’d still get outside to run at lunch.  My blood sugar was a bit high yesterday morning 219 (could be the 4 points of crackers I had the night before?!).  So I ended up taking a bit more insulin to cover my breakfast and that high number, but not enough so that I couldn’t...

A New Cuisine! Philippine!

A New Cuisine!  Philippine!
Saturday morning I woke up at 7 without a problem and got on with my day.  Yesterday?  I slept in until 7:30!  (I need to leave for work by 8:05).  But luckily, being the speedy person to get ready, I made it to work on time – and hardly any traffic – wish every day was President’s Day! Out of the 12 containers of Chobani...

BSI is Back! Again!

BSI is Back! Again!
I love Sundays.  I love lingering over the Sunday paper, drinking coffee – its probably the most laid back day for me. Not to say I am not bizzy though!  I did end up deep cleaning my pantry, computer desk and back room.  Let’s just say Hannah was impressed with my cleaning skillz! Since I ate such a late breakfast, it ended up being brunch. ...
