Happy Tuesday evening everyone. I had a pretty productive day today. I got to work at 7:10 this morning. I am sparing you the boring photos of my food today – but here is a quick run down: 8AM. Bagel thin with one tablespoon of peanut butter 10:30 AM Kashi granola bar (I think I…… Continue reading Healthy Oatmeal Cookies?
Does anyone out there remember Jordan Marsh? Does anyone remember their amazing blueberry muffins!? How many department stores today could possibly be known for their bakery??? Not many. Nordstrom has a decent cafe, but twenty years after the fact I do not think I will be remembering a cookie from Nordstrom. But I certainly remember…… Continue reading Muffins…
How is it Wednesday already? This week is getting away from me – which is both a good and a bad thing… (I do love when the work week is busy and goes by quickly). Last night D and I set off on a culinary adventure. We had dinner, a beer and baked cupcakes. Sounds…… Continue reading Banana Cupcakes
Happy Friday, everyone! I know I owe you a post (or two?) As I said at the beginning of this week – this is my first full work week back since getting sick in November. I’ve almost made it – thank goodness it is Friday morning! Here are some fun things for you to look…… Continue reading TGIF
I had a great run today in my new Brooks. 3.25 miles in 35 minutes, I was definitely going slowly and walked a couple of times, too. The exciting news is that I accomplished 3.25 miles in NEW SHOES and have no new blisters. Sometimes I have trouble with ‘spring running’. Today it was 50…… Continue reading Running, cookies and lunch
I forgot to mention a couple of things in my earlier post. First and most importantly: dinner tonight (chicken, potato pancakes made from scratch, and asparagus) was amazing. It was one of the best meals I have had in a long time – definitely the best meal I have had at home since before I…… Continue reading A couple of things…
Well, the final product was a hit: Everyone loved the bread pudding. It was not too sweet (when I prepped the dish, I put in a bit less than the 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar that the recipe called for). I thought the combination of the sugar and the bananas was going to make…… Continue reading Final Product…
I’ve had a busy morning trying out a new recipe. This afternoon is game day with my extended family, and my mom found this recipe and thought she would make it to bring to game day. But then she got busy, and asked me to make it. It was a fun and rather easy recipe.…… Continue reading Bananas Foster Bread Pudding
I roasted a chicken, made mashed potatoes for the first time (!) and baked amazing scones… Remember how I did not go to the grocery store on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday? (and for the record the only thing I bought on Monday was 6 ounces of wild salmon – so that does not really count,…… Continue reading This weekend…
Seriously, what is up with these combinations this week!? So this morning I woke up and made frosting. I had a cup of coffee while I whipped up some cream cheese, butter, vanilla and confectioner sugar. I sampled the frosting and it was good. Then I frosted 16 cupcakes. I definitely want to open up…… Continue reading Cupcakes and Salmon
