Barefoot Negrita!

In an attempt for this Blaxican to recover from last night's babysitting events, I woke up groggy, tight-gutted (from the Tums I took in the middle of the night), with burning eyeballs and in need of something to fix me...QUICKLY! For me that could only mean one thing--I needed to make some breakfast. Though I like to tease the Bates about being their lil' ones nanny (which is SOOO not the case as really Missy and T-Rex are with the kids 24/7), I was left behind as the family of five left for the boys' soccer games. They hadn't even been gone for five minutes when my ingredients were out on the counter and ret-to-go. Maxine called me asking me if I wanted to meet up for some "brekkie" (as Jorg used to call it)...I still say that every now and then...it was cute and kinda stuck with me. Anyhoo...about my morning plans, I was still "contessa-ing" barefoot and in my p.j.'s, crooning to the sounds of Billie, Dinah, Edie and old Blue-Eyes-- yes, I take after my dad (in strained sound, not in musical taste), that I thought it best to stay home.

Though we're both in the same age-range, Max has fed me more times than I'd care to tell...so I won't. But what I will say is that I took this morning's invite as an opportunity to do a little of the same. I was gonna make us another egg-white omelet with Tofurkey Italian Sausage, Melange a Trois (frozen bell peppers) and cheese, served with veggie sausage and tortillas. Of course, she came over with her daughter and Starbuck's in tow, while I was cooking' with my Jazz Classics going, coffee brewing and feet dancin'. Nice thing about this morning was that I still managed to spend time with the hermanas-via-Skype...and get in some good old "girl-time"...really, for this single, it was the perfect way to spend my Saturday morning! She seemed to have enjoyed it as there was none left, but then again, who's looking?

Today's recipe was so simple, all I'm jotting down are the ingredients. It took me about ten minutes in all to make...this morning I just chopped, sauteed and fried until my heart was jumping with sheer excitement. Then, it was time to eat...not bad for a barefootin' nanny!

Ingredients:
Reddi-Egg (Egg whites in a liquid carton/container)
Frozen Bell Peppers
Shredded Mexican Cheese
1 Tofurkey Italian Sausage, sliced
Olive Oil
Side dish: Tortillas and Morning Star Farms Breakfast Sausage

Until next time, volunteer at a local charity...so many things and people need your help!

Cheers!!!

Ratatouille???

I don't know about you but I have love, love, loved the rain that has finally kissed us with it's sweet lips. Surprisingly, this morning's rain came with some pretty fierce wind, which having just moved here from Oklahoma (where the winds come crashing through the plains), it somewhat threw me for a loop. After enjoying the sounds of rain from inside the house while working in the garage, I decided I wanted nothing more than to eat something warm and somewhat soupish. Unfortunately I have not done a whole lot of shopping since my move back, leaving with me no choice but to doll up an organic can of beans. This week was kinda tough in that I had a whole lot going on! I had to relinquish the love of my life, Luke, to an adoptive parent who could give him a home, as I am still looking for mine and I staying with friends. My other Beagle, Tulsa, is staying at a bachelor pad with some friends of mine who I've known for a very long time. The plan is for Tulsa and I to move in...

A Girl's Best Friend...

Trader Joe's! Next best thing to Diamonds--in my book, anyways. I have to say I was rather disappointed in how quick I fell off the wagon with my gun-ho approach to a new me at 40! Oddly enough, I woke up yesterday morning, took my friend's kids to school, and then off to Tom's #4 we went. For one, it is amazing to me how many Tom's there are. Are they all just one big chain? One thing they have in common--the yummiest, fattening foods one can ever find! You can smell the grease as you are exiting the ramp, readying to turn onto their street (which in this case would be Orangethorpe). I have to say though, I was encouraged as an ex emailed me after reading Sunday's blog forwarding me weight-loss tips via an email article entitled, "A Breakfast Favorite that Blasts Fat?" Wow, so it's come to this. Truly, the man is a gem and is as sincere as he is disciplined. He, in fact, has got to be one of the most disciplined people I know (especially when it come...
