Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
This is a sad year people.  An email went out a couple days ago that because of lack of interest, no one was dressing up for Halloween this year.  WTF?!  I, of course, immediately sent an email and said that I was dressing up!  Two other people I know are going to dress up, but it isn’t the same if everyone doesn’t do it, you...

I’d be Okay if I were in Maintenance Mode

I’d be Okay if I were in Maintenance Mode

Breakfast Tacos

Breakfast Tacos
Another weekend has come and gone.  They seem to go faster when the temps cool down and the days are darker longer.  And another weekend when just two meals were eaten both Saturday and Sunday. Knowing I have a little wiggle room calories wise, I made breakfast tacos Saturday morning. Breakfast Tacos 3 tacos = 1 serving:  463 calories, 28 fat, 26 carbs, 3.3 fiber...

$2 Chicken Tortilla Soup

$2 Chicken Tortilla Soup
Fall is definitely in the air – it was only 31 degrees yesterday morning when I left for work.  We are going to take down our gazebo this weekend, which is always the sign for the end of summer. I found a Jimmy Dean breakfast bowl in my deep freeze, who knows how long its been there.  I have to think a while, because the...

1,000,000 Page Views! (Giveaway!)

1,000,000 Page Views! (Giveaway!)
It happened yesterday.  I was standing at the copier, killing trees, when I was checking my WordPress App on my phone (so cool by the way!) and saw that I had passed 1,000,000 page views! Granted it took four years to get there, but the fact that I didn’t hit 100,000 page views until a year and a half in, I am pretty excited to...

Ranch Pita Chips

Ranch Pita Chips
I am happy to report that my surgery yesterday went really well.  Literally 30 minutes from beginning to end.  I had no idea what to expect, how I would feel afterwards.  Um, turns out I could have probably done this on my lunch hour since the plastic surgeons office is literally 2 minutes from my office. I didn’t want to eat a big breakfast, so...

Classic French Toast

Classic French Toast
As seems to be our pattern lately, our weekends have consisted of just two meals.  I wasn’t very hungry Saturday morning so just had two pieces of toast.  We ran some errands, and by the time we got home at 1:30, I was hungry! My store sells this really thin steak – a package only costs $2.19, its just over half a pound of meat...

Why Don’t You Go Ahead and Order Dinner. . .

Why Don’t You Go Ahead and Order Dinner. . .
The last couple days at work have literally been non-stop.  Which I love when its fast paced, but when you barely have time to stop and eat, that’s never good. We finally celebrated Boss’ Day yesterday.  We all brought in treats – I brought in chocolate coated granola bars (dairy free because I used semi-sweet chocolate to dip them in) and banana muffins with no...
