Aggressive Goals and Pesto Frittata

When you get out of bed every day, you have a goal. Some people are happy with very simple goals which can be completed by the end of each day and don’t challenge them physically or mentally. There are others who need to have a goal that challenges their capabilities. Which ever type of goal setter you happen to be, as long as your achievements are met with a feeling of self fulfillment, you’re setting healthy goals. If you set goals which are too aggressive and unattainable, you won’t be happy. You will be met with defeat and eventually give [...]

CEimB Spaghetti Frittata

Can’t say I was looking forward to this dish. I just couldn’t wrap myself around the idea of adding spaghetti with my much loved frittata. Maybe that kind of thinking sabotaged the recipe right from the start. I thought about subbing rice for the pasta but I didn’t. It was “go right by the book” (well, almost) this week. So I stayed true to Ellie and made the dish as written with one exception: I used diced tomatoes with green chilies in place of the marinara sauce because I didn’t have any marinara sauce. A minor over sight while grocery [...]

Fast and Furious

Tonight had to be a meal that was ready and cleaned up by 7pm because Ted had a work "thing" and couldn't be dilly dallying with dinner dishes. We had fish last night. He had beef the night before and was also eating pork left overs from the weekend throughout the week. That means it's an EGG night! :) Yahoo! Love eggs (well, 'Beaters that is). We had an EggBeater Frittata with fresh vegetables such as green onions, sliced grape tomatoes, and broccoli. The cheese was a mixture of goat with basil and garlic, Feta, and herbed Mozzarella. Our side was grilled yellow squash [...]

Someone elses recipe

Hope your Monday was a good one? Mine was okay for Monday. Monday's get such a bad rap, don't they? It's a day when all dentist appointments should be scheduled because that way, the appointment doesn't ruin a better day of the week, like a Thursday. Ever notice that people at work begin getting a little more cheerful around Wednesday afternoon, Thursday morning? On Friday, everyone is wearing a smile. We just LUV our weekends! What to do for a Monday dinner? I followed someone elses recipe for a Frittata. It didn't work out for me because instead of using [...]

Post Election

What a day! All about the election results. The history made. The future questions, problems, challenges. It's both exciting and scary. Not being seers, we will just have to hang on to the positive aspirations of our hopes and dreams because it just won't accomplish anything living in fear. I think Americans made the right choice. Now lets move forward...Ted adds "Change has come"... "everybody else is using it." Frustration today. Silly software glitch that took over an hour of "fiddling" and getting no where. Finally had to get hold of a "techy" and then it was fixed in 4 minutes. [...]
