I heard a knock on my door this morning, “Nora….want to run to the high-school with me?” It was my dad. Without hesitation I screamed YES and was ready in five minutes. I was planning on going for a quick run down the street before heading back to my apartment but to me, there is [...]
Feeling like “death” this morning provided inspiration for my dinner tonight: Eggs in Purgatory. JUST KIDDING! That is such a morbid thought process. Despite my ~3 hours of sleep last night I had a pleasant day that ended on a high note with this sinfully good dinner. To make my “eggs purgatory” I incorporated 2 [...]
Yesterday was absolutely beautiful. The sun was shining, the temperature was in the upper 70′s and there was a consistent mild breeze. My parents and I thoroughly enjoyed the weather along with some amazing food. After a little bit of this…Two pieces of this Calamata Focaccia and Wake Robbin Cheese.We were ready to sit down [...]
Dinner last night was simple and satisfying. For some reason warm weather always makes me crave grilled items and fresh produce. I marinated a chicken breast in barbecue sauce and grilled it on my cast iron skillet. I wish I had access to a real grill but my make shift grill pan over an open [...]
WHOA, busy day. It is 6pm, and this is the first time today that I have been able to sit and relax! I had a day full of appointments, errands and, the most significant happening, MY LAST COLLEGE CLASS EVER!!!!!!! WOOOOOOHH! Now all I have to do is pass 2 finals, finish 1 paper and [...]
BREAKING NEWS: OATS ARE OFFICIALLY BACK IN MY LIFE! I was starting to get nervous that my ugly green monster/granola bowls were becoming my new breakfast of choice. I have been choosing alternative breakfast options for nearly a week, but alas, loaded oatmeal always wins. I even pumped it up a bit more with ground [...]
When I have absolutely NO idea what to have for breakfast and need something quick, nutritious and filling, I turn to Greek yogurt, granola and fruit. I am hitting all of my nutritional bases with whole grains, protein and a serving of fruit. I try to pick a granola that is organic (Be careful when [...]
After a wonderful couple of days with my parents, it was time for me to pack my bags and head back to school. I woke up early to say goodbye to my dad before he left for work, and made a date to go to the gym at 8am with my mom. I haven’t done [...]
I love coming home to my mom’s pottery. I found this bunny dish (PERFECT for Easter!) and knew I had to have my oats in it this morning. I have a minor obsession with cups, bowls, plates and serving items. It is probably equally as bad as my obsession with nut butter, jams/spreads, granola [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! I felt that it was necessary to start my day off with something green in honor of today. A Green Monster in a Green Bowl and topped with Galaxy Vanilla Almond Granola (aka my new love…but I’ll get to that in a moment.). In to the blender went: 3 ice cubes, [...]
