Lately, I feel as if I have been bitten by the travel bug. I constantly think of the foreign lands I want to adventure to, the sights I want to see and the food I have been dying to experience. I have read about European cheeses, French wine, distinguished Italian flavors and Greek cuisine but [...]
Happy Friday! My morning oats are finally back! And thank goodness! While I typically do enjoy mid morning snacks, yesterday I was absolutely FAMISHED a few hours after breakfast (way hungrier than usual, and after calculating my actual “breakfast to famished” time it was 2 hours not 3).

Okay…I’m definitely dedicated to this whole work out thing. After looking at the schedules for the yoga studio I went to this past weekend, I realized that the only time I could attend a class was at 5:45am today. I said I was going to do yoga once a week and I meant it! I [...]
I’ve noticed a commonality on several food blogs: almond butter. As I explored my kitchen for a quick 5 o’clock snack I caught sight of my beloved, and dug right in.
