Dinner: Tarragon-Dijon Chicken topped with Cherry Tomatoes. Green Beans and Zucchini in a Green Sauce (Basil, Garlic, Dijon, Olive Oil, Shallot, Parsley) and Peccorino Cheese. Corn on the Cob. Served with Russian Jack Pinot Noir. I used lots of fresh herbs pureed to form a chicken marinade and veggie topping. These are the thing that [...]
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 [...]

On Sunday I went to Target to treat myself to a few new items in honor of my birthday. Along with a new dress (they seriously always have the cutest clothes!), and 2 types of granola bars, I wound up with this:A beautiful new scarf, Bon Appetit and Mini Clif Bars. I am a huge [...]
I hardly ever…actually, never… record “food diary” style entries in my blog, but today I have a few reviews, so I am making an exception. I have a pretty long and busy day today so, I thought it was appropriate for a double dose of Amazing Grass. My victims: I woke up feeling like I [...]
Over the past year, my crazy schedules have lead to a demise in my work outs. Every now and then I would sneak in a 30 minute elliptical session or a 30-minute at home yoga video, but that was the extent of my physical activity. Going from a full-time swimmer to a hobbyist runner and [...]
