Simple Naan Bread

Simple Naan Bread
  I have received several comments telling me that I should stop worrying about my weight, and if I am happy with my life, why don’t I just focus on the positives.  Which I do, but I know I will feel better at least 25 pounds less – then I can happily maintain that weight. Since being back “on” Tuesday, I didn’t know what my...

Skinny Bagels

Skinny Bagels
The signs were all there.  Searching for a “looser” pair of underwear in the morning, sifting through your jammies drawer for the extra stretchy pants.  I haven’t worked out in I don’t know how long, the wine has been a staple on my kitchen counter, and those extra licks and tastes (and gummies!) added up.

Gyros with Homemade Naan
I had to do a Sam’s Club run for work yesterday morning so I had a little bit of extra time before I had to leave the house.  I had gyros on the menu for dinner last night.  My non-meat eating daughter LOVES gyros and my store routinely sells it in the deli for $5.99 a pound with tzatziki sauce so it’s quite the bargain...

Greek Chicken Gyros with Homemade Za’atar Naan

Greek Chicken Gyros with Homemade Za’atar Naan
I can’t really say I truly live in the “sticks” but it’s the sticks from where we moved from.  Oak Park is a bustling town, houses are close together and the last house I lived in was on a pretty busy street.  I can still see Tony’s expression when we were sitting in the living room and could hear the cars and motorcycles go by,...
