Where did the day go? When I finally sat down to dinner at 8pm, I felt like I had nothing to show for my day. I went for a half-hour run and did a few errands, but the majority of the “apartment cleaning” remains. I guess I have all day tomorrow, THANK GOODNESS! Needless to [...]
I’m obsessed with checking the weather. I’ll admit it. I probably visit weather.com as frequently as I visit Google. It really does impact what I do during the day and dictates my “food mood”. Lately the weather has been all over the place. It’s hot. It’s cold. It’s rainy. It’s beautiful. It’s hot….MAKE UP YOUR [...]
I love the weekend. It’s my time to relax and catch up on LIFE before another busy week. This usually means housework to re-organize and cooking to indulge in my favorite hobby.Stove-Top Oatmeal: 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/8 cup instant oats, 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 TBS chia seeds, 1 banana [...]
I put my “brave face” on this morning and left the camp I established in my room to face the mouse and find breakfast. I refused to let one little mouse prevent me from having a good breakfast! Uncle Sam’s, Kashi Heart-to-Heart, Kashi Go-Lean Crunch, Vanilla Soy Milk, 1/2 of a Banana, handful of Blueberries, [...]
Dinner: Lemon-Rosemary Marinated Chicken Breast. Lemon Scented Green Beans with Walnuts and Pecorino Cheese. Corn on the Cob. Russian Jack Sauvignon Blanc. I needed that wine more than anything tonight. While I was prepping dinner I dug into some hummus and carrots. The hummus had a few little pinkish spots that I scraped away and [...]
I try… but I don’t always have well balanced meals. Lunch today is a perfect example of this. I knew I wanted a big apple that has been sitting in my fridge. I figured that I would start there and see what happened. Bowl #1: ~1/2 cup (last of my big container) Chobani Greek Yogurt, [...]
I’ve never actually been hit by a bus, however; I woke up this morning feeling like I had. I could not fall asleep last night until sometime between 2:30 and 3am. I am estimating this time frame because I recall seeing the clock at 2:15am and then woke up sprawled out on my futon at [...]
Monday, Monday, Monday. Why are you never a fun day? Monday can be the most stressful day of the week. People enter into a post-weekend-panic and try to tackle everything that was neglected while they were enjoying a few days of downtime. I can get caught up in the stressful atmosphere of a Monday, however; [...]
I live by the motto “never judge a book by its cover”; some of the best things in life come in unexpected forms. I always try to keep an open mind and will try anything once (within reason). It is with this mentality that I have discovered my love for things like escargot and raw [...]
Happy Memorial Day!! I hope everyone is taking advantage of this beautiful weather and enjoying the company of family and friends! I also hope that everyone takes a moment to pause and remember the meaning of this holiday. I want to send a big THANK YOU to our troops and all of those who have [...]
