Kentucky Derby Party Food

This fun filled day of hats and horses wouldn’t be the same without some Kentucky Bourbon and mint mixed into to just about everything on the menu.  The recipes were based on what I found from Thrillist, tweaked a little by yours truly.  *The Derby might be over but The Preakness is coming up. Get ready to party again! The Menu:   Bourbon Balls to get the party started.  I reduced the amount of bourbon in this recipe by half and it was still very strong. Just a warning. New England Style Mint Julep – these are good to sip while [...]

Smart Dog and Veggie Bean Burgers

I thought Shane might be desperate to go out. As I walked around the bed, No Shane! The whining continued. I looked down to see a nose poking out from underneath the bed on Ted’s side.

A Burger Mound House

It was a great workout this morning: 3 1/4 mile on the T/M, 25 minutes of back and quads. with weights, finally into a 3 mile run with Shane, JUST missing the rain, phew! Did everyone do their workout this morning? Come on! The other day, I downloaded a new nutrition management program, a little less expensive than a lot of them and so far, so good.  It’s called DietMaster 2100 .  I like it because I can see if I am up on my protein, carbs, and fat based upon everything I eat during the day.  It’s easy and [...]
