Avocado Egg Salad – 8PPV

Expeditor Bobbie at KSI loves avocados.   Her husband Roy calls them “mangoes”.   We on the other hand love everything Bobbie makes for us to eat.  Cakes, yummy soups, her tiny lunches smell better than anything we could ever dream up in the showroom on our own.  Today’s lunch […]

Breakfast isn’t boring anymore 

I used to skip breakfast because I thought it was boring. Now I wouldn’t miss it for anything.   If there has been one joy during this journaling journey so far it has been this, my rediscovery of the most important meal of the day.  So many egg ideas so […]

The Big Salad Tuscan Style – 13PPV

Finally! I had to wait until 10pm to get it but we are finally enjoying the big salads.  I love food, all kinds of food but there is something magical about a big salad.  Especially in a big bowl.  My daughter and I love them so much we bought big […]

Sometimes you just need peanut butter…

I made a new friend at my Weight Watchers meeting tonight.  Her name is Carly and she  has a smile that could warm even the Grinch’s cold heart.  This young lady loves to sing the National Anthem at her brother’s go cart races, obviously loves her mom even though she […]

Meatless Meatball Sub – 14PPV

This is so good but it’s way too much food…said no one ever.  Until tonight!   During my Trader Joe’s run last week I picked up a bag of Meatless Meatballs.  Was pretty sure it was going to end up in whole wheat noodles or spaghetti squash but they were […]

Nana’s Vegan Stirfry Sammie – 13PPV

Nana’s Stir Fry Sammie should go down in some hall of fame somewhere. I didn’t even use a fork to scrape the last little bits on my plate. I didn’t want to waste a drop so I scraped up the tidbits with my fingers and then licked them! (I refrained […]

Chicken Naan Muffaleta – 13PPV

You know I have a new obsession for Naan.  And a crush on Costco.  Well throw my sister in the mix and an opportunity for both turns into this…Chicken Naan Muffalata and let me tell you, it is FAB-U-LOUS!  This was only my second trip to Costco and it was […]

Bavarian Kraut and Dawgs – 11PPV 

A little bit of Europe mixed with a little bit of the South…my oh my this one is a keeper.  My husband would eat hot dogs every day.  They are second only to his beloved pizza.  I’m not going to lie, nothing gets my blood pumping like the smell of […]

Creative Eating – Power Out

In other news…our power has been off for over 4 hours so while I panic about the Costco and Trader Joe’s haul I just stocked the fridge with I also realize I can’t cook any food. Soooo I got real creative.     2 Bamboo Lane Crunchy Rice Rollers sliced as […]

Nana’s Vegan Southwest Pasta Salad – 10PPv

By now you know my mom is vegan, not vegetarian…vegan.  She doesn’t even eat honey.  It’s not because she loves animals (which she does by the way) it is because she was faced with over worked kidneys and a flailing liver after years of high doses of ibuprofen and other […]
