Since starting weight watchers, we’ve eliminated a lot of carbs from our diet. I don’t think I really realized just quite how many carbs we were consuming. Oh I’ve always known I was a carb lover and don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is anything “wrong” with carbs but like most things in [...]

I love burgers. I still feel like I’m still making up for the 4-5 years when I didn’t eat them in high school/early college. I get a weekly craving for them. Unfortunately, eating them weekly is not very good for the waistline. However, I have to give into the craving every so often and one [...]

I mentioned in a recent post that I started weight watchers. I’ve been “trying” to lose weight for the last year or so…. counting calories off and on, “going” to the gym. Whatever it was that I was doing was failing. More like the lack of what I was doing. I finally had the last [...]

I’m still alive. I haven’t been a very good blogger lately. I”m trying to fix that though! (How many times have I said that? ) But really. Work has been hectic for awhile. I started a new position in early May and it has kept me busy! But I’m working on my work-life balance and [...]

This recipe is something I’ve been eating as long as I can remember. Its nothing fancy, and quite frankly doesn’t even look too fabulous. But oh are they delicious! My mom made these a lot for us as kids cause they were super easy to prep on the weekend and stash in the fridge. I [...]

I was beyond thrilled to have a house full of company! We both love entertaining and don’t get to do it nearly enough! Even more excitedly, [...]

I can not remember a single time growing up that my mom made any sort of beef stir fry. The only Chinese style beef I can remember eating was stew meat (and I desperately need to learn how she made it cause its so good as a base for beef noodle soup which i’ve been [...]

I’ll be honest and say that the flavor of this dish is not exceptional; its very simple. After all, there’s really only paprika and a bit of salt & pepper. But it was a deliciously simple dinner. I’ll definitely make it again – hubby really enjoyed it and it was so easy. Its perfect for [...]

I love this dish! I grew up with my mom fixing this and its delicious. I’d never attempted making it for myself cause I always envisioned hubby hating it. I mean why would he like Tofu? Its good for you! lol. I figured this was a good way to start introducing Tofu into our diet [...]

I haven’t made these in probably a year and I’d forgotten just how good they are and what an easy meal they make. I usually avoid processed foods like canned biscuits but these are just so good! One of my favorite things about this recipe is how adaptable it is. I’ve included the basic recipe [...]

Its officially spring time…. because the weather has been so beautiful that we’ve been able to grill. We’ve grilled three times this week already. I love this time of year. Its been months since we’ve grilled anything and it all tastes so delicious. This was a really easy meal – store bought jalapeno sausage + [...]

I’ve been slacking. Work has been nuts – I’ve been working like 11 hour days on top of continuing to check my email once I get home; the result of having half our team half way across the globe. So I guess I’m not really slacking per se, but I’ve been too busy to dedicate [...]

This dish goes back to my childhood. My mom used to make fish this way, usually with catfish cause its inexpensive and with the sauce who can really tell? I prefer to make this using tilapia but either works! I love it. Hubby loves. But to be honest, I’m not sure what the masses would [...]

About a week ago, I saw this recipe in Elly’s blog. It looked simply delicious and simple. I’m still working on getting the house organized (and work is ridiculously busy) so I decided this week would be the perfect time to give this recipe a try as I don’t have much time or energy for [...]

Today was my second night fixing dinner in my new kitchen. Last night we had Giada’s Parmesan Pork Chops & mashed potatoes but I didn’t get dinner done til 10pm since hubby got home from work at 9pm. It wasn’t anything new for the blog and it was way too late to take time for [...]
