25,000 steps!

25,000 steps!
While I prefer a sunny day over rain or overcast, a rainy day is my brother’s favorite.  I had to snap this pic and send it to him yesterday. I had more bubble up breakfast.  I think I am going to tweak this recipe over the weekend, adding more egg whites, veggies and reducing the biscuits.  I can’t believe I am about to say this...

5k today!

5k today!
I think my computer glitch yesterday was as simple as not shutting down my desk top 😛  I can’t remember the last time I rebooted it or shut it down, but now everything seems to be working.  I had about 10 minutes to spare yesterday morning and instead of jumping on Facebook, I took a 10 minute walk – low 60’s and foggy.  It was...

Good and Bad

Good and Bad
I am having technical difficulty this morning.  My pictures wouldn’t download on my desktop so I am blogging on my phone this morning. I follow a lot of BBQ people on Instagram.  The good after Hurricane Irma? This guy and his catering company opened his house and grills and would cook up any of your defrosted meat with the power outages going on in Florida...

Bubble Up Breakfast

Bubble Up Breakfast
As I was walking into work yesterday morning, I got this text from Hannah.  Ignore the part where I texted her the sales at our local thrift store over the weekend 😛   Pickles, the baby squirrel that Hannah tried to save, died overnight.  She feels she did everything right, she read how they like to burrow when they sleep, she had it in a...

Irma, WI and a Winner

Irma, WI and a Winner
I’ve been on pins and needles all weekend worrying about my parents-in-law.  I know that if Tony were here he would have tried to get them to evacuate, but I know my father-in-law wouldn’t have listened to him.  He’s set in his ways, they have been through hurricane “type” weather before, their house was built to withstand a Category 4 storm, they had food and...

Struggle Bus

Struggle Bus
I didn’t stick to my meal plan at all this week.  While I could have easily made steel cut oats at home, I picked up a small container at Pret (4) and added bananas, blueberries, strawberries and 2 tablespoons of granola (2).  Even though this is a high carb breakfast, it is most definitely insulin worthy. My days have been off since we were off...

Bone Broth

Bone Broth
The first time that I heard about Bone Broth was on the Food Network.  They were at a New York restaurant called Brodo that had a walk up window where you could be a steamy cup of bone broth.  The first batch I made I used chicken feet a couple years ago.  That apparently set someone off, enough to have them write about me on...

Three Cookies and Wine

It was pretty funny standing on the train platform yesterday morning.  With temps in the low 50’s, there were some women who were clinging to summer wearing sleeveless dresses and sandals.  Right next to them were women with Ugg boots, full scarf around their neck and fingerless gloves.   Yesterday was such a busy day.  I never even made it to the gym last night...

Banana Streusel Muffins

Banana Streusel Muffins
I took 238 pictures from Friday night until last night.  I may have a bit of a problem. 😀  It was a good long weekend.  I didn’t really have any plans except with my Mom yesterday.  It was a nice balance of productivity, cooking and lazy.  I will admit that we ordered pizza on Saturday night and I may have eaten half of a small...

My Bizzy Kitchen Turns 9!

My Bizzy Kitchen Turns 9!
And just like that, I blinked and my blog turned 9 years old today.  I am sure I’ve said it in the last anniversaries of this blog that if someone would have asked me if I would still be blogging NINE YEARS after I started, I don’t think that I would have believed them.  My first post was September 4, 2008.  This was my first...
