It’s no secret. I love peanut butter. I always have and always will. My tastes have changed over the years. I’m a tried-and-true crunchy gal, but once upon a time I had an affinity for creamy. I love it in all forms. In sandwiches, topping oatmeal, in ice cream, candy or heck…it’s perfect by the [...]

I’m convinced that I belong in France. The land if bread, cheese and wine…I could live off that . During my personal picnic dinner last night (*ahem* lame) I kept alternating between bites of my caprese baguette and berries. It made my heart sing. For lunch (or dinner….I packed 2 meals and can’t decide what [...]
Happy Smoothie Friday!! I thought a Green Monster would be an appropriate way to end my week of breakfast tributes. Many food blogs have inspired me to try this and the variations are endless. That is what I love about the food blog community; the wealth of health and food knowledge and the variety. With [...]
Sometimes I feel like a mathematician in the kitchen. I get the music going, pour myself a glass of wine, and let the equations roll. (Isn’t this the way mathematicians operate?) For example: one single girl + one jar of chunky marinara sauce = infinite meal possibilities. Just when I thought I reached my dinner [...]
Good morning! Well, I think I proved my theory about exercise, eating and the way I function: I slept like a rock last night. I got my 8 hours in and then some. I actually hit the snooze button twice and had to drag myself out of bed—VERY unlike me. I guess this just reiterates [...]
Happy Wednesday! I thought you might be getting sick of my daisy bowl and cold oats, so I decided to switch things up for today with a new combination. Actually I’m lying, the daisy bowl is dirty.
