I decide to take a long weekend.  I took Friday and Monday off from work.  Greg and I are also taking next week off from the gym.  Sometimes you need to cycle down and take a rest from the routine of your workouts.  Do something different.  Rest is good.
We are going to work in the [...]

I LOVE biscuits!  My favorite meal is biscuits and gravy – white gravy – not brown gravy.  Biscuits with a little butter and honey beat toast any day in my book.
Our son and his girlfriend were in for a visit a few weekends ago and I decided to make a big tray of biscuits.  Our [...]

This is my post from Saturday that got pre-empted for the 100th post.
I love the weekends.
I do the 9-5 (or 8-6 … whatever) everyday, so I get rather selfish about my weekends.  Being empty-nesters is really wonderful.  Don’t get me wrong, I miss the craziness of getting the kids where they needed to go on [...]

Ok – this was absolutely FABULOUS!!  Of course I made modifications to the original recipe. Instead of pizza dough, I used whole wheat pita and I subbed turkey bacon for real bacon and added a couple good shakes of red pepper flakes to spice things up!  Not that I have anything against real bacon – [...]

As you know I love oatmeal. I just can’t get enough and have it for breakfast practically every day. In research that I have done, oatmeal  always scores high with fitness athletes looking to stay lean, but for me I just absolutely love the texture and the taste!
So then the challenge becomes how to make [...]

I love making my own granola.  I like to mix up the flavors and have control over what goes into mine.  Granola is one of those tricky snacks – it sounds healthy – but is it?  One recipe I found was almost 600 calories and 12 grams of sugar for a 1 cup serving – [...]

Sweet Banana Oatmeal

This breakfast recipe combines banana with the creamy smooth texture of coconut milk and then the subtle crunch of organic cacao nibs. If you aren’t familiar with coconut milk it is not, as many would believe, the liquid water inside of a coconut. Actually, it is a sweet milky substance made from the meat of [...]

It’s the weekend and I try to go through the fridge to see what may be leftover from the week of meals.  I can usually find some good extras to put with scrambled eggs to make a really great leftover burrito breakfast.  Let’s see…. what do we have this week?  Some quinoa with peas and [...]

I love eggs!  Scrambled, sunny side up, over easy …. you name it – I like them!  Since I don’t usually have much time in the mornings between the workout and getting out the door for work – I like to whip up a good batch of eggs on the weekend.
Last Saturday I made this [...]
