Hello out there! I’ve got to get to bed because I have a date with my puppy and some hills in the morning. (Love my walking partner!) But I wanted to first of all say thank you for your well wishes and tips for my Boston trip. I still can’t believe I won and I’m [...]
Na-MOO-Ste Contest Entry: Spicy Cornbread
Did everyone have a nice Thanksgiving? Mine was just lovely. I didn’t take any photos because well, I was teased enough for making a pie that had tofu in it (or rather, that I was trying to keep it a secret. Grrr!). But suffice it to say the evening was a success, and we only [...]
Squash Semi-Fail (And Some Personal Ish)
Good evening! (Or morning or whenever you read this). Two days down, one to go until Thanksgiving! I’m more happy about the long weekend than the holiday itself, but it’ll be fun having a “big” group at Thanksgiving this year. For the past three years we’ve been anywhere from 3 to 6 people, but this [...]
Meal Prep Extravaganza
Is this week dragging for anyone else? I know it’s already Thursday, but…it’s only Thursday! Not even Friday which means not the weekend yet. Le sigh. Last night, I got home, took Nina for her walk, and then proceed to tear up the kitchen (and the grill) for the rest of the night. I told [...]
Sleepy and Simple Sandwich Sunday
The upside of being a football widow (ok I’m not married but you get the idea)? I can do all the blogging (and watching trashy TV and ok, cleaning) that I want to with my “free” days. So far today I’ve ran 3 miles (one week of “official” 10k training in the bag), gone to [...]
Getting to my “After” photo
I’ve been hinting for awhile about starting a new diet/fitness program. This past week, I began this new adventure, so I wanted to share it with my blog buddies. This is a bit of a long post (per usual, right?) because I feel like I really have to explain it. I joined a program called [...]
Baked Beans for a Lazy Independence Day
HAPPY 4th OF JULY! I hope everyone has been out having fun today. Me? I’ve been a total lazy bum I know, I live 2 miles from the beach, but honestly, going to the beach, with the tons of people and drunken antics just wasn’t appealing to me. Instead, I stayed home with my sweetie [...]
My, How Time Flies
Hey! Miss me? I know I haven’t posted in awhile, and there’s a few reasons for that. I’ve been working out more after work, so by the time we get home from the gym and have dinner, there’s not much time left for blogging before bedtime! It takes me awhile to write and edit each [...]
Ugly Yet Delicious: Humamole
And another week begins… and it’s a busy one for me, that’s for sure! After my birthday party, I ended up with a fridge full of random eats. I have a Costco tub of red-pepper hummus, snap peas and baby carrots, salsa, and some avocados. Using the “things that taste good alone will probably taste [...]
Pasta Salad for the Potluck
My work is having a potluck lunch tomorrow to celebrate a few birthdays. And I almost wasn’t going to go, because I haven’t been feeling very happy about my food choices lately and I didn’t want to be tempted by the treats—and my coworkers can COOK, let me tell you. There’s usually the same fare [...]
