I love foggy mornings.  What I don’t like is driving through fog.  I remember driving home from my brother’s house in Iowa – Hannah was probably about 6 – and I drove through what seemed to be about 100 miles of fog.  I or course was on the right side of the road, flashers blinking the whole time, when cars on the left of me...

I woke up the night before last at 3:30 to go to the bathroom – a new phenomemon for me – I could always sleep 10+ hours and not have to get up.  I noticed that I didn’t set my alarm – what?  I went to the bathroom, set my alarm and woke up at 6:30 when the alarm went off. There were several red...

Hey!  Sorry for the late post (I think maybe five of you may be worried – one two of those people would be my Mom and my MIL Bonnie!).  Both my cell phone AND laptop were out of battery.  I forgot to plug in my laptop last night, and somehow in the middle of the night my cord disconnected from my cell phone. I did...

If you have not tried ahi tuna with avocado salsa, it’s so good!  My late husband introduced me to this and I just assumed I hated it and never gave it a chance. My sister and I were able to walk together for about 30 minutes – her schedule was a bit more open than mine, so she walked to my office, met my new...

It’s a good thing I brought his spicy Thai Chicken Curry Soup for lunch yesterday because it was a chilly day! As per usual, I didn’t eat my breakfast until about 11:00 – but it was okay because I was staggering my eats for the day.  I am rethinking my whole eating schedule which I will get to later in the post.   This is...

While I might complaint about it being dark when I leave work now, I will love the light in the morning when I wake up.  While it’s going to be chilly here, sunshine and puffy clouds will always make me happy, regardless of the temperature. I knew I wanted to work out after work yesterday, so I intentionally staggered my food.  I ate this “hash”...

Last week my old blog friend Renee of Renee’s Kitchen Adventures sent me an email asking if I would consider being an Ambassador for Certified Angus Beef for the next 12 months.  Um, yes please!  She’s been working with them for quite a while, and when a spot opened up, she thought I would be a good fit and I am so happy! This is...

This Waffle Breakfast Sandwich.  If I owned a food truck, a waffle sandwich would be on it.  Make seasonal waffles, top with salty ham or bacon, velvety egg whites, salty cheese, crushed red pepper for a kick and sugar free panacke syrup.  The pumpkin waffle is crispy from the toaster (4), the ham (1) and reduced fat Swiss Lorraine (2) is salty, the crushed red...

It was a chilly start to the day.  I need to stock up on gloves – I gave my pair to Hannah the other day and I could have used them yesterday on the train platform. This is a weird breafkast, but it worked.  What you didn’t see before I took this picture, was the hard boiled egg and ham that was on the side...

Yesterday morning I woke up at 7:07.  Hannah went to work early and the dogs came in with me.  My alarm was set, and somehow I turned it off instead of hitting snooze.  Guess what time I have to leave for work?  7:20!  I made it though – the beauty of having an hour train ride is that I can put my makeup on the...
