Lately I’ve had an obsession with beans…chili, baked beans…you name it. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m too tight and beans are easier eat since they are “mushier”..but where you find beans, you’ll find me. My typical day has consisted of the following: Breakfast: tall non-fat mocha from Starbucks Lunch: about 2-3 oz of [...]

And it’s crazy how this fill has impacted my eating. For lunch today I had a tuna salad. And all I could eat was about 4 bites of the tuna and a couple bites of the lettuce. For dinner I had tilapia and ate about 1/4 of a fillet and a couple of mushrooms. And [...]

Trader Joe’s Salmon

Oooh – I cooked it. It turned out great. Probably because all I had to do was turn on the oven and take it out after 30 minutes. But it was delicious!

Today was a typical…not too eventful Saturday. Started out by a quick stop at the office to pickup some work and my office laptop. But – wouldn’t you know that when I entered the building I set off the alarm…again. Finally got it turned off after calling one of the agency partners and putting in [...]

So I’ve been off of the mushy stage and onto “real food”…minus things like bread, rice, pasta, etc. But I’ve had steak…which I cooked (see photo) and salad, chicken (un-blended), tomatoes, etc. I’ve just been sure to cut them up really really small and chew really really well. I’ve had no problems at all and [...]

I made salmon for dinner. It was extremely dry…but my husband ate it. Then again, he’s like Mikey (he’ll eat anything). I made it with a bit of garlic on top. And…I have photos for you! One thing I will say is that my dishes are cute…and my stove looks nice (vintage, of course). Maybe [...]
