Today, I was really looking for a new recipe to try for a simple, but delicious and healthy dinner. As I’ve told you before, my favorite go-to site for recipes is AllRecipes.com. I came across one that looked promising, Penne Pasta with Spinach and Bacon. But, I almost never follow recipes exactly as they’re written….so, [...]

Tuesday night’s dinner was thanks to our weekly meal plan. I don’t do it every week, but when I actually take time to plan and write out our meals, it is amazing how much easier dinnertime is. Sunday at lunch, Anthony and I took about 5 minutes and planned out our dinners for the week… [...]

Friday was a long day. Work was really good- really productive. I started with my favorite. I spent most of my day working on financial-type projects for my programs…totally not directly nutrition-related, but I’m learning to like the “business side” of my job more. Lunch was leftover salmon spinach salad + the juiciest red pear. Right after [...]

Anthony and I have had a much-needed, quiet night at home. Dinner was a 2-egg omelet with onion, tomato, spinach and cheddar, topped with salsa + homemade sweet potato home fries and whole-grain toast. Simple and perfectly delicious. Sweet dreams. Goodnight!

Wednesday recap

Happy Christmas Eve! Yesterday was a whirlwind…busy full day at work, still not feeling my best, doctor appointment, plus we hosted a dinner party at our house. We were non-stop until nearly midnight last night when I fell into bed. Luckily, I have the day off today while poor Anthony is working a half-day. Yesterday [...]

What a fun day!! I took a vacation day from work to visit my nephew Owen at his class Christmas party. I think I had more fun than the kids! I fueled up with a quick on-the-go breakfast for my 2-hour drive…. After I arrived at my sister’s, we went to pick up pizza for the [...]

My ”snacky” day from yesterday continued today. Breakfast: pumpkin bread + coffee…. “Lunch”: Dana’s yummy spinach dip with crackers + my black bean and feta dip with chips….(sort of veggies, I guess) Dessert: apple slices + Heather’s yummy apple dip…. After work, I taught a Strength training class- lots of fun and a hard workout. It is so good [...]

We got our workout done…P90X Legs and Back…pretty hard. I did 70 pull-ups. Assisted with one foot on a chair, but I still did them. Woo hoo! Dinner was whole-wheat ravioli with grilled chicken and marinara + spinach salad and a piece of garlic bread. Simple and delicious. Bedtime for me – I have a [...]
