Walk in the Sun

April 7th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Dessert, Dinner

Anthony and I went for a great walk in the sunshine after work this evening….it was so amazing outside. You know, I love boot camp classes, strength training, and even jogging a bit, but my favorite exercise is definitely walking outside…I love it. After our walk, we grabbed a quick dinner at Panera Bread – [...]

Hello friends! It is so good to be back to blogging. The last few weeks have been non-stop, I’ve been working quite a few evenings, our weekends have been busy, and I just needed a bit of rest. I enjoyed my week away from the computer, but I’m so happy to be back! I’ve missed you all. Can’t [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I started with an old favorite – Special K with chocolate + PB2 + coffee with cream. I Love this combo for a quick breakfast! This morning, Heather, our intern Julie, and I did a Green Food Demo – kale chips! We made literally hundreds of kale chips and served them [...]

Best Breakfast Ever

March 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Recipe link

Sunday started with one of my favorite breakfasts ever. Kath’s Whipped Banana Oats topped with dark chocolate chips, blackberries, and 2 kinds of almond butter. Deelish. I follow Kath’s recipe exactly, except I don’t add the chia seeds. It turns out perfectly every time. After church, we went to lunch at the Smoky Mountain Brewery. [...]

The snow dance worked!

January 30th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Breakfast

I was hoping for 6-12 inches, but I’ll take 2 inches of snow plus lots of sleet and freezing rain. Since I got to sleep in, it was all good. I decided today would be the perfect day to try out my new griddle- thanks, Mom! Fiber One buttermilk pancakes with dark chocolate chips and [...]

Taco Thursday

January 28th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Dinner

Anthony’s mom had a minor shoulder surgery today, so we visited her in the hospital tonight. She’s doing well and should get to go home tomorrow morning. Salsarita’s happened to be right across the street, so we thought that would be a good choice for a quick dinner. I had 2 shrimp tacos with salsa, guacamole, [...]

Snow dance

January 28th, 2010 · 8 Comments · Breakfast

I actually took time to make breakfast at home this morning. Whipped banana oats, topped with dark chocolate chips, blueberries, and a spoonful of White Chocolate Wonderful. I think this was my favorite oats combo yet. Seriously, it was like dessert almost. But, it can’t be too bad…oats, dark chocolate, blueberries, peanut butter…all superfoods in [...]

A little is better than nothing

January 26th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Dessert, Dinner

I love shopping at EarthFare. I stopped there on my way home from work tonight to pick up a steak to cook for Anthony’s dinner. And, I always come home with a few new treats to try. I got a new tea that is full of ginger and other herbs…I am all for anything that helps prevent [...]

My example of Intuitive Eating

January 22nd, 2010 · 7 Comments · Dessert, Dinner

So, I’ve told you that I strongly believe in, and practice, Intuitive Eating. My meals/snacks tonight were one example of what Intuitive Eating means to me. After my late leftover spaghetti lunch (which was fabulous)….I wasn’t really hungry for a meal at “dinnertime”. I was really craving a bowl of cereal, though, so I had a [...]

Saturday night in

January 16th, 2010 · 12 Comments · Dessert, Dinner

I use any excuse possible to have frozen yogurt. So, after my afternoon grocery shopping trip, I couldn’t resist indulging since the Fro-yo place is right next door. I love random yogurt combinations – this is: mocha yogurt + raspberry cheesecake yogurt topped with chocolate espresso beans, mini peanut butter cups, strawberries, banana, mango, and kiwi. [...]
