Believe it or not, I was up by 7:00 a.m. yesterday – on a day off!  That hardly ever happens, so I took advantage and did some laundry and chores.  Next thing I knew it was 9:30 and I was starting to get hungry. I made breakfast tostadas – two eggs scrambled with spinach and a bit of cheese, topped on two tostadas (each tostada...

Hello Friday!  And hello to another day off!  I could really get used to these three day work weeks! Last weekend while I was waiting for my number to be called at the meat counter, I wandered around and saw that they had pork sausage – at only $2.99 a pound!  I bought some with the thought of making apple and pork breakfast sausages.  This...

At our blogger brunch last weekend, Jacky gave me some of her sister Jody’s granola, so I decided to make a breakfast parfait.  I sauteed 1 apple with a pinch of brown sugar and Pam, then tossed in some blackberries.  Since I knew the fruit and granola were sweet, I made the right move and used plain Chobani – good to the last drop! The...

We made it up to 40 degrees yesterday and actually had some sunshine!  And we may even reach 50 on Saturday – come on spring!! For breakfast I had an egg sammie and some delicious blackberries – they were on sale for 2.00 a pint! I challenged myself on March 1st to do three things: March Goals walk/run/move 45 miles get to the gym 2...

I have to give a shout out to Jacky, because I forgot to mention her brunch gift that she gave me and my sister.  Holla!!  Sriracha Salt! Um, why haven’t I ever thought of spicy salt?!  Thanks Jacky!  This will definitely be put to good use! I slept in yesterday morning.  Then did my blog post and started laundry.  Before I knew it, it was...

I took the day off today, hence my late post this morning.  Um, I may have slept in until 10:00 today! When Tony and I were shopping on Saturday, we bought a sirloin steak that was on sale.  We had leftover shrimp from our Friday night red beans and rice with shrimp, so we decided to do a date night in with steak and shrimp...

Afternoon!  Right now its sunny and 40 and I am on the deck grilling tomatoes to make baja fresh salsa for our March birthday Taco Fiesta tomorrow at my Mom’s house (and for blog reader Kris who won my birthday giveaway!).  Yep, in my bare feet – 40 is balmy people! Not sure I’ve ever mentioned it on the blog before, but my right foot...

So we’ve made it to Friday – woot!  I actually have Monday off and next Friday off for Good Friday, so next week will be a nice 3 day work week – gotta love when that happens! Doesn’t everyone wake up an hour before having to leave work and decide to make muffins?  Yep, that was me.  7:00 a.m.  I usually have an iced coffee...

Tony and I had to leave at the same time yesterday.  As soon as we walked out the door, this cold wind smacked us in our faces.  I actually wore a coat yesterday!  You know why?  It was 13 degrees, but because of the wind, the radio said the wind chill was –6.  ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING! Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be...
