For someone who likes to blog, read blogs, check e-mail, etc… it’s been rather frustrating! After several calls to the cable company who said it was a local area problem and it should be back up in several hours, well two days has passed when …
Sometimes when its a busy day at work, or big homework night I like to keep things in the freezer that will take no time to cook. I was so happy to see these things in my freezer! I had Butterball Turkey Smoked Sausages. They …
99% of the time I make and bring my lunch to work. Today, I was running late, didn’t plan last night since I watched The 2 hour episode of the Biggest Loser. So as it was approaching the lunch hour I started to think what …
My husband and younger son are out of town on a camping trip field trip with my son’s school, so when I got home from work tonight I was thinking about what to make for myself. I asked my other two kids if they wanted …
Using wonton wrappers – these came out what I am calling pot sticker pillows! Filled with a yummy vegetable and ground turkey filling. I had every intention of getting to bed early, but while watching “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” on Food TV, one establishment made …
This orzo with spinach and feta pasta salad is so delicious – I’ve made it so many times over the years, and I love it more each time I make it! I’ve mentioned before I am a magazine-a-holic. Until the last year, I had stacks …
One of the nice things about my blog, is if I get stumped for something to make, I have most of my recipes here! My daughter was home sick yesterday so I stayed home with her and wanted to make a soup to bring for …
While reading blogs yesterday, I read Maris’s blog and her Mom had made low fat banana muffins. I knew I was going to make these this weekend. I did change a few things, and at the last minute decided to make mini muffins instead. 1 …
Guess who rode her bike to work today??? Yep…Me! I woke up later than normal because my kids are off school, so I didn’t have time to walk, so I jumped on my bike and 15 minutes later, I was at my desk! It’s a …
The title is a little long, but I had a lot of good eats today! I ate the last of my carrot muffin I made the other day for breakfast. The other two I brought to work to give to a couple of my friends …
I was so bummed when I got to work because my camera’s battery was dead, and I didn’t have the re-charger with me. But then I remembered, my office has 6 digital cameras and I used one of those. LOOK HOW HUGE THE PICTURES ARE!! …
My family has a lot of different sayings for what’s for dinner. We order pizza every Friday night, so we have called it for years “Party Pizza Friday” and when its taco night, all I have to say is “Mexican Fiesta” and my kids know …
It was cold, rainy/sleet/snowy and windy today in the Chicago-land area, so I decided to make some soup today which I am going to bring as a starter to my lunches this week. Its loosely based on a Thai Noodle soup my sister made. 5 …
I used to not like spinach unless it was raw. But ever since I had my friend Kathy’s pasta dish with spinach, I kind of liked the way it tasted cooked in a dish. This recipe is from one of my favorite sources for ideas: Fitness Magazine. …

There are a bunch of different ways you can make this. You can use your own homemade pizza dough, a store bought pizza crust like a Boboli pizza crust, but my favorite is to just use a tostada. You can buy them right by …

Okay, who watched The Biggest Loser last night? I knew there was going to be voting, and I was hoping Vicky would be in the bottom 2 so that she wouldn’t be in the final three. Michelle is doing great though, losing 9 pounds in week 12? That’s insane. I …
My Mom was raised in Virginia, and the way they do pork barbecue is totally different than the midwesterners do. There is no barbecue sauce, its just vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes. The recipe is super easy, and low maintenance, but worth the time invested. …
