Look how cute this is! I was absolutely delighted to receive this package in the mail yesterday. Last week, Meghan from Zone Perfect contacted me to see if I would be interested in trying some of their new Cookie Dough Bars. I love cookies and I love snack bars–sounded good to me! I was beyond [...]
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 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 did not sleep last night. This is a picture of my innocent sleepy eyed Truffle. She played all evening and was finally drawing tired. I was sitting on the couch below this ledge watching television and catching up on blogs. My sweet, little, trusty companion wanted to be near me. She likes to sleep [...]
We are surviving the move. Well, at least Truffle has been having a blast. She plays in the jungle of boxes and bags and then promptly falls asleep.She’s the same size as my candle! Yesterday, my parents met me around noon and we got down to business. By 9pm everything was out of my old [...]
It’s 4pm and dinner time is quickly approaching. I never get this nervous when I am cooking for one. Making an entire meal for my parents is making me question all of my decisions. I want everything to be perfect. The only thing that I am sure of at this point is that my dessert [...]
Today has been silly and smiley. To best address all of the things that made me happy, I generated a ‘top 10′ list. Working backwards:1) Dessert. I have a sweet tooth. Tonight I had exactly what I was craving: cool & creamy Chobani Greek Yogurt, chopped sweet cherries from the farmers market and dark chocolate [...]
After an interesting day of food yesterday, today was back to the same-old-same-old. Breakfast was a creamy, scrumptious bowl of overnight oatmeal. Overnight: 1/2 cup raw oatmeal, cinnamon, vanilla extract, 1/2 chopped banana, 1/2 TBS chia seeds, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk. Morning: ~1/3 cup Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt, handful of blueberries raspberries and sunflower [...]
HAPPY 4th of July! I’m SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that I came home! I had the BEST sleep last night in my air-conditioned room. I even slept in for once in my life. Sunday+Home= Dad’s Breakfast Kitchen. On the menu: 3 egg white omelet with goat cheese, spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes topped of with more goat cheese, [...]
Exercise today included but was not limited to walking up stairs in heels and typing on a computer. Hey, it’s a tough job but someone has to do it! Actually, I didn’t end up leaving work until 5:30pm and forgot to bring an afternoon snack (note to self, BRING SNACK BAR COLLECTION TO WORK!). I [...]
