I know I am going to get called out on my soup not being a true “ramen” but it has a spicy broth, has noodles, so I am going to call it quick pork ramen!  But first, I have to tell you guys I am working for The Chopping Block on Saturday, December 9!  It’s the One of a Kind Show at the Merchandise Mart...

I got a lot of direct messages on Instagram on how I grilled my turkey this past Thanksgiving, so I thought I would do a quick post here today to link it to my Instagram pic.  And well, my eats were boring yesterday – I clocked in at 8:50 a.m. and didn’t clock out until 7:00 p.m.  My only breaks were basically going to the...

It’s always difficult to get back in the swing of a regular work week, especially since I had a three day work week two weeks in a row.  I woke up thinking “I’ve got to work five days in a row?!”  I’ll take this weather though! I didn’t drink near enough water over the weekend.  At my desk I have no problem keeping my water...

I had such a wonderful weekend.  After how busy I’ve been at work, it was nice having four days off in a row, and other than going to my sisters house for Thanksgiving, I had no where to go.  So I spent my weekend making gifts from my kitchen!  One of them was making a cranberry jalapeno jelly – which is going to be posted...

I know everyone is going to be busy with family, friends and food today, but I just wanted to write a quick post to thank you to everyone who takes a couple minutes out of their day to stop by my tiny part of the internet.  If you’ve been following me for a week, a year and 9 years (there are a few of you...

I am so happy to share this healthy banana muffin recipe with you guys.  Only one tiny problem – I said they were three smart points, but they are actually four – I forgot to add the two eggs to the recipe on the WW app, but still, these are a winner! But first, can I talk about how empty the train parking lot is...

I knew it was going to be a busy day yesterday since I was off two days last week, but what I forgot to factor in is the short work week this week – I was so busy as usual – all three of my bosses had work piled up and I feel like I barely made a dent in my work load.   I...

What a whirlwind weekend!  I knew it would go by fast, but it seemed we literally landed in Dallas and I blinked and we were on the plane back home.  Um, I may have taken 503 pictures from Friday to Sunday!  I decided to start with the rehearsal dinner on Friday night.  It was at a place called RJ Mexican Cuisine which I think is...

Morning!  I have today off in anticipation of going to Dallas tomorrow for my nieces wedding!  My brother wrote one of my favorite posts about his oldest daughter leaving for college – you can check it out here. I am sure my SIL Laura and brother are like “how did my baby get so big!”  It seems like one day you are walking them to...

Yesterday was the first morning that I had to use my ice scraper on my car.  When I parked my car and started walking to the train station, I saw all these frosty leaves and they looked so pretty.  I am so excited to be getting a manicure tomorrow in anticipation of my nieces wedding this weekend.  Did I tell you that I am the...
