January 4th

Yesterday I promised you the recipe for mini omelettes.  I got the recipe from Diana, who got it from a blog post called 3 Busy Girl Breakfasts.  I like the recipe because it's flexible--you choose your mix-ins to suit your taste.

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and generously grease a muffin tin.  And I mean GENEROUSLY GREASE, my friends.  As in, get some butter and a paper towel out.  Even with doing this, my omelettes still stuck a little.  I know Diana's didn't stick--I think she used silicone or paper baking cups.  TELL ME YOUR SECRETS, DIANA!
  • Chop your mix-ins, and fill 1/3 of each muffin tin.


  • Beat 8 eggs, and generously season with salt, pepper, or any other spices you'd like to use.  (I used 6 eggs and a pinch of s&p as directed, and neither was enough.)
  • Fill almost to the top, and bake for 18-20 minutes.

Taa daa!  Plus these reheat well in about 30 seconds.
Breakfast

  • A mini omelette with added cheese (100)
  • 2 slices center cut bacon, every trace of grease removed (60)
  • blueberries (45)
  • green tea with honey (30)
  • 2 glasses of lemon water


 Lunch

  • Chicken Eugene (260 - I didn't finish the entire portion)
  • Brown Rice (160)
  • 3 glasses of water

Snack

  • Coffee with lots of 1% milk and just a little sugar (100)
  • Half an apple (50)

Dinner

  • Curried chicken salad (chicken, grapes, and celery with light mayo, salt, and curry powder) on wheat toast (245)
  • Pumpkin protein square with tru whip and cinnamon - that recipe is coming tomorrow! (100)
  • 3 glasses of water
Exercise
  • Fitsugar's 10 minute core workout
  • Fitsugar's 10 minute arms workout
  • 45 minute walk outside, and the clouds looked like pink and blue cotton candy!  (The two red dots are balloons advertising new construction for sale.)
  • Then 15 minutes of exercise bike riding in socks, because I had a blister

1150 vs. goal of 1400, which is weird, because I never felt hungry.  I also should have eaten more vegetables.  I'll work on that tomorrow.

 In conclusion, Kate!

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here  for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef.  I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy.  And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below.  You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry!  You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , pressed o

New Year, Old Me

And, after a brief 5 year hiatus, we're back! For those of you who are new here, for a number of years I wrote a blog featuring an assortment of things I found interesting: the British Royal Family, sarcastic hot takes on award show fashion, travel, and (the reason I started it) to help me keep stay on track with eating healthier food. Recently, one of my doctors suggested that I start the blog back up and I thought it was a good idea for a few reasons: chief among them to help with some health goals, plus I'd like to use it as a way to stay connected with some colleagues that departed at work. By way of an understatement, 2023 was a smidge rough.   My dad got really sick in April, and after that, it was a slalom of the American healthcare system / in-home healthcare / nursing facilities / ambiguous loss & living grief .  Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the company I work for turned 24 and, well, sometimes 24 year old companies behave like 24 year old humans.  They're fun

Kate Middleton, Goofball

My new favorite K-Middy gif came out today.  She and William went for a walk during their day off in Australia, and she totally did this: Big Willy and Babykins (their nicknames for each other) have talked about Kate's sense of humor before in interviews.  Apparently she's funny and sarcastic--now we're more than just hair soul mates!  Below are some of my favorite non-posed Kate pics. They're probably watching horses.  So British of them. This is at the Olympics.  She seems concerned. I'd also like to point out that I'm jealous of how good her ponytail looks. It sounds like she's saying "OMG no way!" Man, I hope that's what she's talking about with the fancy church people at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee service. Again, I suspect ponies are involved here. If you watch interviews with her (and I do) she makes this face all the time.  I LOVE IT. Celebrities: they're just like us!  They hide behind their
