A delicious roasted ratatouille…that when you take the first bite, you’ll soon forget the 20 minutes you spent chopping the veggies! It was worth every second…

Perhaps it’s the half marathon training and the fact that my body is just CRAVING calories! Not only am I still full-time nursing, I’ve decided to train for the San Antonio Rock n Roll Half Marathon…I think I’m burning close to 3,000 calories per day.

A few weeks ago, we got the go ahead from both the allergist and the GI doctor to [...]
So tonight I’m out on the town…I’m hanging out at the Ultimate Mom’s Night Out and will then catch the last showing of Ramona and Beezus with some girlfriends. (I know…I’m totally getting wilder as I age!) I really just want to see Ramona and Beezus so I can feel 12 again.
(I might have [...]
Thought I’d replace the traditional beef in Stuffed Green Peppers with some black and red kidney beans instead. And I’m glad I did! The “filling” is so delicious and fresh…and it be great rolled up in a tortilla for lunch.
(That’s what I’ll be having for lunch tomorrow.)
Ingredients
1 cup brown rice ($.40)

I made these the other night…I made an extra trip to the store to get the ingredients needed for this morning’s news segment…and spotted some $.99 whole mushrooms. I see them often for $.99 in the mark down basket in the produce section. I found more this morning…sliced this time. I don’t typically buy extra [...]
