Crispy Buffalo Tofu Bites

Crispy Buffalo Tofu Bites
I can’t wait to share my crispy buffalo tofu bites! But first, I have to be honest, I was a bit surprised with my loss this week.  I had brunch with my Mom and sister with drinks, I had wine last Saturday night, habachi and two beers on Monday night.  I guess my saving grace is that I walk a lot during the day –...

Have you tried Beef Shank?

Have you tried Beef Shank?
Since I didn’t meal plan this week, I needed to accessorize my breakfast by picking up a cup of steel cut oats at Pret in my building.  It’s only 4 points per their website, and so creamy.  Although paying $3 for that cup of oats when I can buy a whole container of dried oats, well, I need to get back to meal prep!  I...

I need a nap.

I need a nap.
When my Mom, sister and I were at Trader Joe’s over the weekend, this granola caught my eye at the check out.  I first saw the word coffee and was like “sold!”  I love granola but hate how many points I have to spend for so little food.  Some serving sizes can be as little as 1/4 cup for 8-10 points!  So I was thrilled...

Last Birthday Celebration of the Month! #pinkyswear

Last Birthday Celebration of the Month! #pinkyswear
It’s official – the March birthday celebrations have come to an end! 😀  Jacob turned 25 yesterday and he’s the sixth birthday of the month.  Whew!  It was fun while it lasted! Tony used to tell me that I left all my organizational skills at work, which is partly true.  While my house isn’t 100% organized all the time, my desk is a different story....

Celery Root Puree with Tahini and Lemon

Celery Root Puree with Tahini and Lemon
It was a long week at work  last week.  I was pretty spent by Friday night.  The dogs and I snuggled and somehow I stayed up late watching Girls until 1:30 a.m.!  I can’t remember the last time I stayed up that late.  I usually like to go to bed the same time on Friday and Saturday as I do the during the work week....

French Fry Frittata

French Fry Frittata
There are a lot of people at my office who are on Weight Watchers, which I love.   More people to talk about point friendly food!  One woman though the day before yesterday only ate strawberries and grapes for breakfast and wondered why she was starving at 11:00 a.m.   I asked if she had any protein, hard boiled egg, deli ham, anything else?  Nope.  I told...

Blogging from my iPhone

Blogging from my iPhone
I discovered the only downside of deciding to blog on the way to work.  I got settled on the train this morning, opened my laptop and …it’s not working.  I’ve had problems in the past with it holding a charge but haven’t had any problems for the last couple months.  I’ll have to check that out over the weekend.  Can you even replace the battery...

She Made Me Cry

She Made Me Cry
It was a few weeks back in a Weight Watchers meeting that we were talking about motivation.  How to get it, savor it, and most importantly, hot to keep it.  The first 8 weeks of this year I was tracking like it was my job, making sure I got blue dots on my healthy daily eating chart, and I was focused and determined.  I had...

I stand corrected . . .–112 points!

I stand corrected . . .–112 points!
While I was on the train ride to work, I was looking at my WW app and realized I never entered my food for dinner Saturday night OR this chocolate pie!   So while I thought I was -82 points for the week, I stand corrected – I am at -112!  #gobigorgohome 😀 Tony used to buy me this pie every birthday.  It’s a sugar...

Almost Perfect Birthday

Almost Perfect Birthday
Hannah and Jacob both had to work on my birthday yesterday, and Hannah was so apologetic about it, but I told her it was not a big deal.  I had already planned on going to my Mom’s church yesterday morning and we were going out to lunch. So Saturday night the kadults took me out to dinner at a new restaurant in our town that...
