Hey everyone! Thank you so much for your support and encouragement through the loss of my beloved Lucy. It has been a rough week and a half, but I am surviving and getting through each day, which is more than I expected. I feel a little older and maybe even a little stronger than I thought I was. But, I was so blessed with her presence in my life for 18 years and I am taking comfort in all of our great memories. Your words of encouragement have meant a lot to me and I really appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
It is nice to get back to a bit of “normalcy” today by getting back to blogging….Isn’t that funny? Taking pictures of my food and putting them on a blog is my definition of ”normal”? 
Breakfast was my favorite on-the-go option….Starbucks oatmeal with nuts and a bit of White Chocolate Wonderful + coffee with cream.
Lunch was a quick and easy convenience meal. If I don’t make time to pack my lunch, one of my favorite things to do is to hit up the grocery store deli…there’s usually a variety of good options. Today I chose hummus, blue corn chips, and fresh berries- the perfect quick lunch + plenty of leftovers to keep stocked in my work fridge for later.
After a busy day at work, I taught a one-hour Strength and Abs class -what a good workout!
Dinner tonight was a variation on one of my old recipes that turned out really well. I’m calling it 3-Bean Chicken Chili.
This chili was perfectly spicy, super easy to make, and was great with Anthony’s iron skillet cornbread.
Time for Biggest Loser… Have a great night. See you tomorrow- Goodnight!
I’m so glad you’re back and blogging! I had missed reading about your life and daily eats!
I’m glad you are back to blogging! The chili looks really good!

You’re back with my favorite meal! I love the chili and cornbread. It always sounds and look so good. Your fruit salad looks great! Fresh blueberries, yummm…
I’m glad you are healing, and the last week and half was helpful for that healing process. Have a great dy Angie, and welcome back!

Healing is such a long and painful process. I’m glad you took some time for yourself.
Hi angie, am glad you are back! i’ve missed reading your blog.
