I made my first from-scratch apple pie for Father’s Day this year. It’s extremely rich, and served with vanilla ice cream, it was pretty freakin’ tasty. Was a bit complicated — took a long while and much assistance with the peeling/coring/slicing of the apples (thanks to Bobby dear). I told our guests that the pies [...]

A friend recently wrote “I so wish that I could just turn my brain off sometimes.” Can I get a big AMEN. Wouldn’t it be nice to just say “ok, I need a break… I think I’m just gonna park this thinkbus and go do something else.” And truthfully, at times I’ve been able [...]

Just wanted to add a few more WW recipes we’ve tried this week. I’ve been doing better… as Susanna said, she “hasn’t even had to mix things together” to make them edible!
We’ve tried turkey enchilada pie. Tip: it works MUCH better if you don’t forget to put the tortillas in it. Also, we’ve had chicken [...]

For all you fellow roasters out there, I picked all my green tomatoes and roasted them for dinner last night. YUM!! Roasting things is my new favorite pastime – I tried chickpeas too (thanks, Holly!), and they were fabulous.
WeightWatchers update: Bobby and I maintained this week – no loss, no gain – which was [...]
WeightWatchers, Week 4
Posted in weight loss, tagged bobby, food, getting healthy on October 21, 2008 | 6 Comments »
My grumpiness from the last post has abated somewhat… had lunch, which always helps.
And speaking of lunch, I had leftovers from one of my recent WeightWatcher meal attempts. Whole-Wheat Chili Mac (from Sunday night)… YUUMMM. Also tried Shepherd’s Pie (Saturday night) and Southwestern Brown Rice (last night). Would recommend all of them.
This is kinda random, [...]
WeightWatchers, Week 2

WeightWatcher recipes… some good, some not so good. Here’s the breakdown:Eggplant Rollatini with Tomato-Basil Sauce – 3 stars. Similar to lasagna, in that it has lots of ricotta cheese. Takes a while to prepare (lots of steps), but pretty tasty… if you like eggplant, that is. Bobby doesn’t so much – don’t think he was [...]
Mid-afternoon break

Have been attacking the office/former nursery/guest bedroom with a vengeance today… I’m determined to have it in a semi-reasonable state before returning to the working world. It’s a flipping disaster – crap leftover from the yard sale, the crib (we still haven’t broken it down), CDs & DVDs randomly strewn about, and collectibles that we [...]
My Very Productive Day
Posted in weight loss, tagged bobby, food, getting healthy, japanese chin, sisters, this old house on September 25, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Yesterday, I was productive. I know… shocker. Took the Chins to Petsmart for grooming, which takes about 3 hrs, thus carving out the perfect amount of time to get crap done on that end of town.
Headed to Belk and returned the last of my maternity clothes…. was glad to get rid of that little reminder. [...]
