Earlier in the year, I bemoaned my lack of weight loss and set a goal for the year of losing 40 lbs. – then did nothing to try to reach that goal. There’s been a number of life changes at work and at home that have put the pressure on and lately, I’ve felt that [...]

Looking back can be interesting, if kept to a minimum, so I thought it might be interesting to see what were the most popular posts of 2009. Here goes.

I Search for ‘Simple’ and Got This
Simplicity is the name of the game here. It’s meant to be a recipe for when you don’t want to cook.
3 or 4 chicken thighs – I get mine ‘IQF’ – ‘Individually Quick Frozen’, which means I pull a bag out of the freezer, grab some thighs, and I’m [...]

I purchased some wild caught cod and wanted to make my own sauce, which I typically make from mayo, parm cheese, and butter – but I had already made the Ricotta Cranberry Cream concoction and didn’t feel like pulling out another bowl.
I had bought Bertolli Alfredo sauce for my kids – it was sitting on [...]

A brief update. For the first time in ages, I’ve been in ketosis for almost three weeks. I don’t think I’ve had such a long, unbroken run since I lost my weight originally – 6 years ago.
Maybe – just maybe – this time might be the one that I peel off the extra pounds and [...]

Yeah – it’s a dumb name for it – I know.
I originally started out to make my 4-alarm chili recipe, but instead of diced tomatoes, I added pureed – and it just seems to be too thin. So I decided to clean my fridge of a number of vegetables that had reached middle age, but were still [...]

I made this 2 days in a row – this came out so good, I couldn’t believe it. My major failure on both batches was an overdose of garlic which was beyond the ability for most mortals to tolerate – but screw ‘em – I’ll eat it.
1-1/2 bags frozen cauliflower
5 oz. cream cheese
1/4 c. Parmesan [...]

It started with an Atkins bar on the drive to work.
Next up, a big bowl of the beef stroganoff at 10:30am
At about 5:30 pm, I had an Atkins shake, as well as some brazil nuts, which I keep at work for food emergencies.
When I got home, I had eggs and sausages, as well as a [...]

The problems with the economy have hit home. Massive layoffs. The boss’s boss let go, the person next to you let go, people allowed to stay until the end of the month, like a living corpse – corporate-style. Calling someone about a project and saying: “Oh, you’re being cut? That’s too bad – are you [...]
