Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Remove the greens.................


If you've purchased a vegetable with a leafy top, such as beet greens or carrots, remove the green top before you store it in the fridge. The leafy tops will leach moisture from the root or bulb and shorten the vegetable's shelf life.

Kitchen Closed – It’s Pizza Tonight from Domino’s

Dinner Tonight: Kitchen Closed – It’s Pizza Tonight from Domino’s





To start my morning off I prepared a Poached Egg and served it on a toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. What a day outside today, 80
degrees and sunny! We were all wondering if Spring would ever get here, and I think it has finally. After Breakfast me and Mom headed out to go see Dad for a while. He was doing pretty good today! Back home did a few things around the house and outside. Then at 2:00 I had to take Mom to an eye appointment. It took a while, she has to schedule a Cataract Removal. The Family Doc called and said all my test results came back great! Diabetes 2 numbers looked good along with the Cholesterol and the rest. Back home too much running around today so the Kitchen is Closed! Tonight its Domino’s Pizza!




We got out favorite, Domino’s Hand Tossed Pizza Large with Cheese, Sauce, Pepperoni, Italian
Sausage, Mushrooms, and Black Olives, Green Olives. First Pizza in a while, and it was over due! As always the Pizza arrived on time, hot and delicious! I had a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Coke Zero to drink. The Kitchen will reopen tomorrow! Take care all. 










Medium (12″) Hand Tossed Pizza
Whole: Cheese, Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Green Olives, Black Olives, Mushrooms, Robust Inspired Tomato Sauce.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Lean is keen...........


Fats can have an effect on blood sugar. Go with low-fat dairy products and lean cuts of meat. Butter and olive oil are the fats of choice. Opt for baked or grilled preparations over fried.
