My Mantra

Ever heard that the early bird catches the worm? I am a firm believer that that is the case, especially in business. Arrive early – even if just ten minutes early. People will notice. And those ten minutes will allow you to boot up your computer, grab a cup of coffee and then officially begin your day. Arriving early shows dedication and preparedness. If your workday ends at 5:30, do not start packing up at 5:25. Tack on an additional ten minutes to your day. Again, people will notice that you’re the one getting in earlier and staying later.

No, not one of these girls. Although, I did shamelessly enjoy their album my freshman year of high school. My spice has been coming from buffalo sauce. It has been a star ingredient in two of my meals, and never fails to disappoint. I worked until close to 8:00 last night and really needed an easy dinner. This one took under 10 minutes to make. Ingredients: Romaine (all chopped) 1 Cup Frozen Corn, thawed 3 smallish tomatoes, diced 1/2 Cup Cheese 1/4 Cup Low Fat Ranch 1 Tbsp. Buffalo Sauce Lime Tostito Crumbles 1/2 Lime’s Juice 1 Cup Shrimp I mixed the ranch and buffalo sauce together to get a Buffalo Ranch Dressing. I threw everything together, tossed it up, and voila – Buffalo Shrimp Salad. It was like eating wings, but much healthier Picture 659 As if my buffalo cravings weren’t enough last night – I had to jump on the    [...]
