With my life right now getting thrown for a loop, the only thing that keeps me sane is my workouts. My mother in law right now is taking away some of my time. The current government can take away my job. No one can take away my exercise progress. My new running goal is to [...]
It's interesting how older generations view non-marriage relationships. My mother in law right now is in a relationship with a gentleman about her age. They both get frustrated with each other, but keep sticking it out. They both seem to want to break up frequently. In my view, I would get rid of someone who [...]
This week I'm getting ready for a conference and I spent some time doing car work. The conference is our big annual conference, where over 1,000 people of many professions come together. It's fun, but a lot of work. I help people get continuing education for our sessions and that is daunting, but always worth [...]
I am doing another dessert this week because I have way to many frozen meals and I need to pare them down. Who doesn't love more dessert? I'm still keeping these on the simple side because we have some friends we are entertaining this week and I have to change the brake pads on my [...]

You have a cookie AND the filling. Depending on the cookie and the filling, the calorie count, as well [...]
I couldn't resist doing peanut butter cookies this week. I love peanut butter cookies, but they are another thing I usually avoid because the calories can add up quick. What I normally do with desserts I make is to make each serving only be a low amount of calories and I only have one. That [...]
I'm doing another dessert this week. I know it's not the holidays any more, but my doing a dessert, I am being strategic. Since I am at home, I am not using as many of my frozen leftovers. Tony wants to stay on lentils and rice for a while to lower his calorie intake. So [...]
I was watching America's Test Kitchen and their gumbo recipe. It is as authentic as it gets. However, it uses high sodium ingredients and a roux, which is not gluten-free. I am also really busy this weekend and I need the slow cooker to do the work for me. I decided to develop my own [...]
