I was able to buy some yummy food options this weekend while grocery shopping. I bought very lean beef and chicken and fixins for chicken fajitas and green enchiladas and lean hamburgers with sweet potato baked fries. I'm *so* looking forward to it! I have found that I've become a food-aholic. The last few days, I've been paying very close ( Read more... )

Sometimes it's big (eat somewhere nice, go to a movie), sometimes it's small ($5 pizza from Little Caesar's & play Trivial Pursuit at home). We occasionally do date night on Saturday, where's it's sort of a "date day," where we do nature stuff (hiking, walking, driving ( Read more... )

I got up with Tom and walked Abby this morning, then did some house work and started a new loaf of bread in my new (Christmas gift) bread machine. I just finished the loaf of banana nut bread - YUM!
