Random Musings Friday!

Linking up with Shana at Fumbling Towards Normalcy! You should, too!  * Let’s get this out of the way so we can focus on other happier, funnier things. I had to go back on my heart meds this week. I’m none too pleased about it. It’s probably my fault for not eating correctly the past…

Bloggers’ Biggest Loser!

Link up with the fabulous Vicki from My Vickilicious Life, and Amy from At The Pink of Perfection. Let’s talk about eating our feelings, because that’s what I did all week. Sure, I lost one whole pound of something or another, but none of my efforts are responsible for that loss. I didn’t eat crap all week,…

Bloggers’ Biggest Loser! {Plateaus!}

Link up with the fabulous Vicki from My Vickilicious Life, and Amy from At The Pink of Perfection. I went to visit my in-laws this weekend and when I sat down to write on Saturday, I got about halfway through my “Free Your Mind” post and the girls woke up from their naps. I went to finish…

Bloggers’ Biggest Loser! {Emotional Eating!}

Link up tomorrow with the fabulous Vicki from My Vickilicious Life, and Amy from At The Pink of Perfection. Good Monday Morning! I had a bizarre night last night. I was up really late, and then one of the girls woke up at 4 am, started to whimper on and off, and by 5 am she was…

Bloggers’ Biggest Loser!

Link up with the fabulous Vicki from My Vickilicious Life, and Amy from At The Pink of Perfection. I’m just looking for something normal to do today. Something that is unrelated to the recent events. Something where I’m not waiting for a phone call, a decision, or a reaction. I just need a piece of normal. One…

Food Fodder: Turkey Burgers with Mushrooms & Onions

It’s the middle of Winter here, and while there’s barely any snow on the ground, it’s still too cold for me to stand over a grill outside clicking my tongs. I don’t love burgers that much. I do love them enough to make them on my stove, however. When I started The 17 Day Diet,…

LAUGHTER:  * is contagious! * decreases pain, which increases your immunity! * can help fight the common cold, or anything else that ails you by boosting your immune system! * prevents HEART DISEASE! * relaxes your muscles. (oooommmm…giggle giggle.) * helps strengthen relationships and social bonds….

Food Fodder: Roasted Garlic Shrimp and Broccoli

{thank you!} This recipe was inspired by The Wednesday Chef, who was inspired by Melissa Clark of The New York Times. It’s a simple, super fast, ONE PAN  meal. Plus, it’s healthy and really delicious. Perfect for low carb dieting. I reduced the olive oil and sprinkled on some reduced fat Parmesan cheese. I also…

Food Fodder: Meal Plan Monday

Hi! How was your weekend?  We were away at my in-laws this weekend and our scales are about 6-7 pounds off, so I’m going to weigh in tomorrow to get an accurate weight. (because I obviously haven’t gained 7 pounds since Thursday! Yikes! Talk about heart failure!) Also, look for recipes mixed in with regular…
