Cue The Waterworks . . .

"I am always in search of the perfect cheeseburger."

#13, 25 Things You Don't Know About Me, Emily Giffin

Last night at Junior League I got a text . . .

"Did you hear?  I had open heart surgery?"

One of my best fellows - the tears were hard to fight back.  I did the best I could.  Today, listening to the details of the surgery and trying to catch my breath every time I looked at his scar - watching him hug the bear to cough, and thinking about the aircraft grade wire holding his body together...

It was certainly a powerful reminder that:

Meatloaf Is For The Birds

Texas Pete Is A Carolina Boy

Caio Bella! Is A Great Way To Start The Day

And even the most well intentioned pound cake is a special occasion!  His heart got the triple bypass.  But mine ached from wondering what the world would be like without the Big Guy's friendship.

Raise a glass to B!

Toast of the Town Slim Down

My New Year's Post, "Something Borrowed & Something New" after-the-fact affectionately titled "Emily Giffin's Cheeseburger Paradiso" was a huge hit!  And I have been passionately exploring new ways to live a more healthy lifestyle ever since!!!  
a
So passionately, I'm afraid, that I've yet to stop and post a single update on the new blog.  This week, a request from one of my clients changed all that.
a
I've always offered my clients grocery selection, pick-up, and delivery services.  But on Friday, I received a special request.  A hip, single, executive with a birthday coming up asked me to create a Weight Watchers friendly menu for her.  What fun!!!  
a
Of course I said yes.  And now, I just can't wait to share it with all of you.  I'll be posting recipes from the menu below (including WW points and product names) on Cheeseburger Paradiso, Facebook, and Twitter - starting tomorrow morning and continuing for a week.  Join us!
