Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
When I looked on my workout schedule for the day, I scrolled down to see that yesterday was supposed to be my higher carb day since I had legs on the strength menu.  I also saw a link for recipes and I clicked on the pumpkin spice pancake recipe – it said each pancake was only 64 calories!  But then I read the recipe.  Um,...

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!
Since it was “technically” the weekend, Tony made me another amazeball breakfast.  Spicy eggs over a crunchy blue corn tortilla with hash browns made from half a baked potato mixed with a bit of cheese.  This ended up being my breakfast and lunch since we planned on having our Turkey day dinner around 3:00.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Yesterday it was so cold.  We keep our bedroom door shut and have a small space heater that keeps our room so toasty.  So it’s a false sense of coziness when you open our bedroom door and step out into the hallway.  I looked up on my phone and saw this: Yep, that reads “feels like – 6!”  Gah.  I really, really wanted to just...

Happy Friday! Er, Wednesday!

Happy Friday! Er, Wednesday!
Gotta love a short work week!  Even with one of my bosses out of the office, it’s been busy, so this week is flying by.  I think we should pass a law that says that we could get paid for working five days in a week, but only actually having to work three.   I think of all the stuff I could do with a four...

The Season of Treats has begun . . .

The Season of Treats has begun . . .
I was all set to go to the gym yesterday morning.  Food was packed, my gym bag packed.  Tony was up watching the news so I snuggled with him for a few minutes before getting my ass out of the door in 22 degree weather, with a wind chill, it felt like 10.  I grab my coffee and . . . I can’t find my...

Bacon Pancake Dippers

I love that Tony likes to make me breakfast over the weekend.  He’s an awesome cook once I let him into the kitchen!  But he’s not shy about using butter, oil, cheese, etc.  I used to try to hover around him so I could see exactly what was going into my breakfast, but about a month ago I finally decided not to care.  He knows...

Breakfast Tacos

Breakfast Tacos
Since I didn’t hit the gym before work yesterday, it was nice to have a relaxing morning.  I drank coffee, posted my blog, read some blogs and had time to make breakfast tacos.  What’s not to love?! This time – I scrambled one egg with 1/3 cup egg whites.  I popped my corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds – if you don’t soften...

Homemade Rice-A-Roni

Homemade Rice-A-Roni
Some days I wonder if I would leave my head at home if it wasn’t attached to my body!  I was a whirlwind of activity before heading out to the gym.  I didn’t pack my back the night before and I was putting my work clothes in my bag – my worst fear is that after a work out I start to get dressed and...

Please send me your Muffin Recipes!

Please send me your Muffin Recipes!
Tony doesn’t like to eat breakfast.  Like hardly ever.  On the weekends its usually closer to noon before he eats, and there is a fine window of when breakfast is no longer appropriate.  You will never find Tony eating breakfast for dinner unless he’s had a stroke, can’t speak and I’ve dressed us in matching jackets. Muffins though?  Those are an anytime snack.  I had...

Jalapeno Popper Quiche

Jalapeno Popper Quiche
It’s funny how a whole weekend can fly by and I can’t seem to find the time to workout, when most workdays I work out 90 minutes a day!  After our super stormy weather Sunday and mild temps, it was back to reality – I left the house and it was 30 degrees. I just scanned through the workout the night before.  If I don’t...
