I made an amazing meatless tomato sauce with pasta last night for dinner. I usually don’t like my meatless tomato sauce, but it turned out rich and flavorful. I guess I am becoming a better home cook. LOL Anyway, I sauted an onion in a hot pan with some olive oil and some salt, pepper, [...]

Weigh In After Holidays!
Whoo hoo, I weighed in this AM. 171 lbs! yay. I feel healthy and good this morning. Yesterday, I was feeling a little full from the holiday feast! It feels great not to have gained any pounds. Not that I was worried, I don’t think I did bad enough to gain (it could have been [...]
Christmas 2009 Woes and Joys
Yeah, I didn’t do such a wonderful job on my food choices during the holiday, but it’s okay. I am back on track today (Saturday, Dec 26) and will continue to stay on track! It was a bit scary, because I got a wake up call. It’s so easy for me to revert back to [...]
172 lbs & Changed My Calories/Goals

Coleman Natural Polish Kielbasa

I would have it again. It’s still not food to have every night because it is loaded with sodium, but for a treat it [...]
Homemade Bread
Dragged out the old Breadman breadmaker from storage and made some homemade light whole wheat bread. I used 1 cup whole wheat and 2 cups regular wheat flour. It was okay for a first try but the top kind of squished in and I read somewhere that it was due to lack of glutan. Glutan [...]
171 pounds
I thought I had hit a weight loss wall and seemed to be stuck at the 174, 173 range. It was okay, I wasn’t complaining. I figured that my body would let me know my optimum comfortable weight. So I let go of losing weight and tried to accept it. I reset my MyFitnessPal “goals” [...]
The Eat Clean Diet Cookbook Review
Disclaimer: This is a cookbook review. It must be mentioned that I love reading cookbooks, and am inspired by recipes, but rarely follow them. Keep in mind, my opinions might be completely different from the other home cooks. I received a copy of the The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook: Great-Tasting Recipes That Keep You Lean by [...]
