I love French onion soup. I consider myself a bit of a snob for it, as I'm not a soup eater. However, there was this local restaurant that served the absolute BEST French onion soup I ever had. After 45 years in business, and thanks to Covid, the restaurant was closed and sold. I know …
If you're a true NKOTB fan, then you know who Alma Wahlberg is. Many years ago she released some of her favorite recipes in how she fed nine kids on a single income. While inspiring, I found recipes of hers to try. I have made this recipe according to her details, but yesterday I decided …
Pun intended on my title. I wish my hip would allow me to run. Will it ever again? However, Sara invited me to the gym today for the final workout of the year. I donned my new running britches and was ready to go. I have a note near the end of my blog about …
A great NFL game was coming on today. Sara asked if I wanted to do elliptical with her. YES! My weekly workout will still happen. With the holidays approaching (and more eating, of course), I thought I better kick it a little harder today. It's always important to eat a balanced meal, 80% healthy, and …
My friend, Sara, knows how much I love cooking and trying new recipes. She sent me a recipe for beer cheese soup. I looked it over. Seriously....how can you go wrong with beer and cheese! Hello...I love cheese. And beer. I'm like SCJ Kavanaugh, "I like beer." I just went to the store this week …
Are you still coming out of your Thanksgiving coma? I know I have been lazy in my eating. Woke up today with a "get your poopoo together" attitude. I don't necessarily claim to be on a keto diet. I'm a numbers person. I count calories, rather than just not eating something in particular, e.g. carbs. …
I'm so excited I have to write another blog. The elliptical has truly been a huge turnaround. Sara invited me to go to her gym again today. She wanted to work off some of her thanksgiving dinner. How many of us ate too much on Thanksgiving and feel a little guilty today? Me. Me. Me. …
I know tomorrow in America is Thanksgiving. We love to indulge in all the tasty, carb-loaded fixins', as we call it around these parts. We tend to allow our normal healthy selves to cheat on this day. It is a day to be thankful for all we have, so why not eat all we want. …
I have really been battling hip pain trying to run or walk. Makes me beyond frustrated. Then the weather is turning colder and days are shorter. Just a double whammy of negativity. I'm starting to get a little lazy in my eating. That's a big no no. It has taken me eight months to get …
Two food blogs in a row...shocking! Today I completely outdid myself! Call me Chef Micki. My favorite store, Aldi's, had ground lamb yesterday. I don't recall seeing this before. I had to buy. I love anything and everything lamb. Many moons ago, I had a friend of a friend who was Jordanian. In my hometown, …
