Wow, this week was brutal. I swear I barely had time to breathe, let alone get anything done. Nothing is on schedule. I am getting up earlier just to get everything done. The one thing I won't compromise on is making sure I get a workout in. I've been getting up some mornings at 3:45am [...]
As we're getting closer to Thanksgiving, we are evaluating what we can do with his mom. We usually have Thanksgiving over at my brother's place, but it's not possible this year. I should say, it is possible, but Tony would have to miss out. That's not ideal. We are thinking we may host this year, [...]
This week I'm working on installing some flooring in our old house. Took some time off work to do it. While this vacation time is being used for working, I do FINALLY have a real vacation coming up soon. Who'd have thought. I'm looking forward to a road trip. Tony is looking forward to that and a hockey game. He was [...]
Looks like winter finally is showing up in Michigan. Our first winter storm is happening this week. This year has been a bit odd without any snow. This is climate change, whether you believe in it or not. I'm also seeing in the forecast some of the first bitter cold mornings. I'm a person who runs like the US Postal [...]
I'm almost back to normal. I hope to start running at the beginning of next week. It's so important when you get sick to rest. If you try to push through, you are not giving your immune system a chance to do its job. The only thing I hate about being sick is being bored. I love that I can [...]
Happy New Year! Before I do a recipe with black eyed peas like I normally do, I wanted to first get something out of my freezer. I made the chocolate red wine cake with raspberry buttercream frosting and have a whole bunch of frosting in my freezer that I didn't use. So I looked for a recipe that [...]
Here's another recipe that's sole purpose is you use up some extra fruit. Along with the beets, I have a ton of apples. I thought it might be good to use them to make some apple pie. However, I don't want to make an actual pie. Rather apple pie bars. Easier to eat and way [...]
This recipe came to me when I realized I had a huge container of unsweetened applesauce and nothing to do with it. Plus, I really wanted apple pie, but I didn't want to spend the ridiculous amount of calories on that. I am also lowering my carb intake. I found that the weight gain I [...]
This week I'm letting the slow cooker do the work. I'm going to be busy cleaning out some metal in our new to us house for recycling. We have a house that is kind of new to us. It's the house Tony grew up in. It was given to us after my father-in-law died and [...]
