I had a couple mason jars in the work kitchen cabinet, and when I went to make my parfait yesterday they were both gone.  So I had to make a breakfast bowl parfait.  Chobani (2) topped with blackberries and banana, 1/4 cup granola (3) and a drizzle of sugar free syrup. It it was such a gorgeous day yesterday I didn’t want to come back...

These Premier Protein Blueberry Scones are so good!   I’ve talked about my love of scones on this blog over the years.  The first one that stole my heart was the one from Starbuck’s – the cinnamon chip one – swoon!  Um, turns out it’s 21 smart points though – or basically the equivalent of two meals. I wanted to try yet another version using Premier...

I was so ready to go to Weight Watchers on Saturday morning that I was up at 7:00 a.m. for my 8:30 meeting!  You know how some weeks you feel like you’ve gained weight, but have to go anyway and face the music.  Um, that wasn’t me this last Saturday.  I killed it last week.  Except for my 45 point day the previous Saturday when...

I got to the train station yesterday morning and as I pulled in the parking lot, I thought “hmmmm…something is weird here!”  There were only a handful of cars and for a second I thought “is it Saturday?!” Nope, sadly a 49 year old woman took her life in front of a freight train on my line at 2:45 in the morning.  Because it was...

There was another pedestrian incident on my train line this morning.  I decided to drive to work, but got no where fast because the roads around where the accident happened were closed, so traffic was backed up.  I heard the train lines were moving again, went to the train station two after my usual stop, got on the platform and . . .no phone.  I...

You need to put these Greek Turkey Meatballs on your list of things to make! Guess what I did on my train ride to work yesterday?  I read a book!  I know, such a novel idea!  (see what I did there!). It’s the first time I haven’t used an electronic device on the train since I’ve been taking it, I think, and it was a...

I had such a busy day at work yesterday.  Had a filing for one attorney, a bunch of revisions of another attorney, and a secretary near me was out, so I had her attorney as well.  I was still planning on meeting my sister for lunch for our walk, but as it got closer to leave, too many deadlines and I had to bow out....

Friday night pajama party!  I had the pleasure of having these two littles over Friday night for a sleep over.  I went to their house to grill up some chicken pitas and brought mac n cheese for the kids.  After we ate, I scooped the girls in my car and brought them home.  I live less than 10 minutes from their house.  Their Momma?  Called...

You guys know after all the YEARS I’ve been on Weight Watchers that I’ve always loved the program.  Um, it’s just that I never followed it exactly.  I always tried to “cheat” the system, to somehow eat the same way I did that got me overweight, but somehow sprinkle those cheat meals throughout the week, just work out more and somehow the scale would move....

I know I’ve talked about these Joseph brand pita breads, but I absolutely love them.  The only thing is that next time I won’t try to stuff them – since they are only one point, they are thin, and when I tried to picked these egg white and romaine lettuce pita halves, they kind of fell apart.  I’m not mad about that though – at...
