So, not really, but I’m so darn excited about snow that I have it on my mind constantly. I just got the word that school is closed tomorrow so I’m ready to take on the shrimp. And what it is about snow that makes me think of potato soup, hot chocolate, and bread? But enough …

Meet Lola. She and I whipped up a cheesecake, one of those no-bake kind. I 8oz pkg of cream cheese-softened. It can be full, reduced, or no fat. Cream this with 1/2 cup of sugar or splenda. Fold in 1 8oz bowl of Cool Whip. You can make your own..but I’m lazy tonight. Add topping …
No run today. I’m going to focus on walking a straight line first. It’s amazing how a few hours can change a person’s sense of space and time. This morning, I was still very off balance, but the spinning had stopped. Now, tonight, I almost can’t believe it was as bad as it was. I …
And all I have to show for it is dry heaves and some cheese crackers. I’ll spare the details. My world flipped and I felt like I was on a merry go round in space with no harness. But, it’s on a pretty plate!
So, I went to the dr finally. Sinus infections do not magically disappear. It’s Friday and I’ve got the whole weekend ahead of me!! I wanted tea. I wanted spice tea. Williams’ Sonoma mulling spices should do the trick. Add my own tea and it’s excellent for a sore throat and achy head. I put …
I’m tired, and do not feel like cooking. So, I didn’t really. I opened a bag of frozen PROCESSED (sigh) meatballs, poured on some can merlot sauce and called it done. An hour later, my stomach was not happy. It really is true that if I good for me food consistently, then my body gets …
First things first. I am needing to work out. I’ve been at a standstill while caring for Mr. B. So, today, I still felt a little crummy, but I wanted to work out Run-2 miles P90x-Chest and back with 10, 15 and 20lb weights P90x Ab Ripper X (ouch) I felt awesome after. You know …
It’s been awhile. Twice in less than 6 months, I stood by and watched someone struggle to live…knowing how this one would end was extremely hard. Leukemia rarely leaves witnesses for long. And I’m exhausted today. I feel like a mack truck hit me. I was at the last couple of bites of almond butter, …
This is very similar to chicken and vegetables. In fact….it’s the same thing. Layer the following: potatoes, onions, mushrooms all diced place pork loin on top. Can also use pork chops. Mix cream of mushroom soup with 2 cans of chicken broth add seasonings of your choice. Cook on slow all day! Top with parsley

I’ve got a hip issue. I’m not surprised since I’m not sleeping that great lately. And…don’t tell anyone….but it’s supposed to snow tomorrow. I can’t begin to explain my excitement!! Of course, there is also the.. ….. BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!! Bama vs. Texas Run-2.5 miles Weights—REST!! Blood sugar-145 Pre-run-almonds and cheese Dinner tonight was …
….but this wine is made for drinking—after I cook! I woke up, ran a bunch, and did some p90x. I’ve decided that I might be on the track for a spring half. I was on track for a turkey day one, but that got pushed back when I went to help with my father Nov. …
Holy wine dressing It all started with a can of Lindsey’s Natural Green Olives. I got these at Target, but my grocery store has them as well. They are fabulous. Regular green olives in the jar “salad olives” are so salty. These are so fresh tasting and they have some sea salt, but it’s not …
I have cheese, tortillas, chipotle brisket, and a skillet. Here goes nothing. This was really GOOD!! (I misspelled Messy, didn’t I?) I just placed one tortilla in the pan, put the cheese first to start melting. I had already warmed my beef and they placed it on the cheese. I stuck on the top tortilla …
Almond Butter-MaraNatha Raw Unsalted creamy Wow! This and some granola (Dave’s Chia Raspberry Walnut) and a splash of milk…awesome.
I plan to run later, but right now, I want some fruit and cheese! Fruit! Cheese! (and turkey and crackers)
This morning before getting a head start on the grocery shopping, I threw some black-eyed peas into the crock pot so they could cook all day. I never do the pre-soak or soak method stuff. I put it in the crock pot with plenty of broth or water and set it low all day. I …
I’m on the road today trying to get back in gear before school. So, lunch was out. I chose my favorite sammich shop. Zoe’s. Chicken salad my favorite way. I hate HATE wet mayonnaise salads. They make a dry one with greek yogurt and tons of flavor. I hold the tomatoes because that’s just gross. …
