My breakfast was a repeat of yesterday – a Chobani poppy seed muffin and my coffee on the way to work, and a slice of the breakfast casserole later in the morning. Here is the recipe for the Chobani almond poppy seed muffins.  I couldn’t taste the lemon in the last batch I made, so I added TWO TABLESPOONS of lemon juice and the zest...

I had time to take a quick 30 minute walk before work.  I only put on a light jacket because it was sunny outside.  Um, I quickly regretted that decision – it was cold!  But after a few minutes I warmed up so I just sucked it up. And Lisa, this picture is for you!  Lisa was reading my blog for a while before she...

I didn’t go grocery shopping until Sunday so Tony was only able to make me breakfast on Saturday morning.  He declared that he was using the last of the eggs so on Sunday “I was on my own for breakfast.” Spicy spinach eggs, spicy hash browns and a jalapeno jelly bagel.  This was my breakfast and lunch.  So spicy good! I hit up the library...

The drive to work yesterday was gorgeous.  It was 55 degrees and sunny, the first awesome fall day if you ask me. I heated up a poppy seed muffin in the microwave for 20 seconds – tasted just like it came out of the oven.  I enjoyed that with my to go coffee on the way to work. I always have to laugh at my...

I had to drive back to my doctor office yesterday to do my fasting blood draw.  Which meant no food or coffee (I loves my Sweet Cream International Delight – a tablespoon is all I need).   I didn’t even think that I could have gotten my blood drawn at our local hospital and have it sent over – gah.  The traffic sucked – I left...

I have to think that breakfast nachos are one of my favorite breakfasts, and somehow I forget about it.  It’s fun, easy and delicious.  Yesterday I cooked 3/4 cup egg whites with 3/4 cup of spinach and just cooked it in my 6 inch skillet with a lid on until it was cooked through. When I got to work, I assembled it.  I put the...

I got up yesterday morning and walked outside for just under 40 minutes.  Our Chicagoland weather is so weird – yesterday we hit a record 95 degrees for a high, and at 6:30 in the morning it was already 80 degrees and very humid. While I don’t mind the heat per se, it’s September so my mind has already made the flip to beef stew,...

So here’s the deal with my feet.  Not only can I not wear flip flops anymore, I don’t think I can go barefoot for any length of time without some sort of arch support.  I cooked a lot on Sunday, and after standing in the kitchen, by night time I had to ice my right foot. I did my Classic Stretch for 30 minutes yesterday...

One reason I love weekends so much is that Tony makes me the best damn eggs for breakfast.  Saturday morning he made me sriracha scrambled eggs, Frank’s hot sauce hash browns and toast with jalapeno jelly!  How the hell did he know I loved spicy shit?  This ended up being my breakfast and lunch – so good. I’ve talked about our dollar rack at our...

I am kind of kicking myself about not taking advantage of the summer weather and walking before work.  It just sort of wakes me up.  It was a brisk 57 degrees when I started out yesterday. There are a lot of hills in my neighborhood too, which gives me extra hamstring and quad work. I didn’t know how far I went until I got home...
