My McArnold and the MOST Amazing Meal

Going on a recommendation from Fitzalan, I tried an Egg “McMuffin” – although, I guess mine would be an Egg “McArnold” since I had no English Muffins…just Arnold’s Sandwich thins. I used 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters, and topped in on my sandwich of 1 Laughing Cow Wedge/Garlic Hummus. Best. Breakfast. EVER!! This seriously rocked. [...]

Breakfast Cookie and a Sexy New Man

I’ve been curious about the infamous breakfast cookie ever since I first saw them on Gina’s blog. I knew the recipe called for protein powder (which I’ve never used), so when I saw these little packets at the store, I snatched ‘em right up. LOOK at those biceps. mmmmm. It smells SO good. Like cocoa [...]

Breakfast Take 2 and New Snack

So obviously my heart belongs to oatmeal. But I’ve never tried overnight oats. And with this hot weather, what better time than now? I found this recipe for Strawberry Banana Almond Oats on Kath’s blog. I only made a few changes – 1/3 c. skim cow’s milk, 1/3 c. Chobani vanilla yogurt, and no granola/cereal. [...]

Breakfast Take 1 and Key Lime Pie

So this morning I did something TOTALLY out of the norm for me – I had a “hearty” breakfast rather than my usual “sweet” breakfast. I cooked an egg and paired it with a slice of Provolone cheese + some avocado. The verdict? This was pretty good! I should’ve added some hummus, though, because it [...]

Michigan Part 2

Indoor water parks are the COOLEST! Avalanche Bay was right down the street from our condo. It worked out perfectly that it rained on Wednesday, so we took the kiddos and headed there for half the day. Aren’t lazy rivers the best? I want one surrounding my mansion when I grow up. Reese was my [...]

I Heart Vacation.

Vacation = heaven. I’ve decided it doesn’t even matter where I am…simply being away from WORK (!) and spending time with the fam (who I get along with – weird, huh?!) is enough for me. The place we vacationed in Michigan was beautiful! It was not too far from Lake Charlevoix, and the towns there [...]

Vacation Time!

Thank you so much for your happy thoughts/prayers coming my way. It’s kind of reassuring knowing that so many of you have had the same procedure – I’m hoping that the doctor is just being precautious. In funny news, I had a dream about my doctor last night – I have a total crush on [...]

I Can’t Get No Satisfaction

Phew. This morning I got a voicemail from my (girlie) doctor to give him a call about my test results. I called and their office wasn’t open for another 20 minutes. Longest. 20 minutes. ever. So apparently my lab results came back abnormal and I have to go in for a colposcopy (better than a [...]

Two Quickies

I’ve been getting out of the habit of trying new recipes lately. So….I’m vowing to make at least one newbie a week. I have a stack full of recipes that just are waitin‘ to be made! You will never believe this, but I have never made anything using a crock pot/slow cooker. Yes, ‘tis true! [...]

Almond Breeze…Makes Me Feel Fine

I tried it! In the mix –> the normal nanner + kale + ice + flax, plus some strawberries…. The verdict? Very tasty! I have had a recent obsessioncraving for almonds lately, so of course I fell in love. Don’t know if I would drink it alone, but it was perfect in my green monster! [...]
