I’m heading to the gym for a minimum of 45 minutes of cardio. I’m behind on the water consumption today so I’ll try to catch up.
I’m making absolutely no progress on an early bedtime so I’m not getting out of bed any earlier. So…after wasting the better part of my day on computer games, I’m [...]
Not too long ago I picked up some frozen burgers for a quick and easy dinner. I really wasn’t expecting too much from these frozen burgers but was pleasantly surprised. I have tried several different brands of frozen burgers in the past but I think I can safely say that Bubba burgers are now my [...]
More cookies … coming up. Even though most people enjoyed the oatmeal cookies from a couple of weeks ago, I decided to make them again with a few changes. Already I can tell they will be better this time. Nothing wrong with making a good thing even better. Thanks again to my hubby for making [...]
Since it’s getting colder outside I’m in the mood for baking cookies. A few years ago my hubby bought me the Cooky Cookbook and I am doing my best to bake as much as possible. Mostly I bake the cookies I remember baking with my Mom. I have altered a few recipes to suit my [...]
Since we had less than 20 trick-or-treaters, we have left over candy. Bite sized Halloween candy is evil.
Buckethead was a fun event. We talked to some interesting people and listened to some great guitar music. There were some technical difficulties but mostly it was a great concert. It’s also fun to walk through Times Square [...]
It has been at least a few months since we have eaten at the Oyster Bar so we headed there last night. As usually, the pan-roasted scallops were fabulous. Not only is it a treat to eat there, it’s also fun to watch everything being prepared and to enjoy a Long Island Ice Tea with [...]
It’s a common theme for a Monday for many people, myself included. Get back on track with diet and exercise. I won’t make any big changes and in fact have been focusing on eating well for quite some time. It’s the exercise part that is sporadic. Hubby and I both walk quite a bit but [...]
We rediscovered that apple pie heated up in a microwave is just no substitute for a real oven. While the apples were warm and tasty the crust just turned into a soggy glop. We both knew this to be the case but still we ordered apple pie a la mode. The next time [...]
We recently took some out of town friends to the Fairway Cafe for lunch. My best friend from first grade chose to try the chicken/vegetable soup. She talked about it the rest of her trip saying it was the best chicken soup she had ever had. She was pretty much done with [...]
I was really not a huge fan of biscuits until I made a recipe from America’s Test Kitchen – test kitchen favorites. I was really in search of a good chicken pot pie recipe when I stumbled on the Skillet Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping recipe. We have been looking for a [...]
