Not the New Rules of Blondie Baking

As I mentioned, I made blondies for the terribly sad and depressing and I don’t want to talk about it football game on Sunday. And as anything with a stick of butter and a cup of brown sugar would be, they were really, really good.  They have the texture of a brownie with the taste [...]

Detox Recap and Another Newman’s Review

So, remember in my last post when I was talking about this detox and how good I was feeling and how it was going to last until Sunday? Umm…as of 2 PM yesterday, the detox is dunzo (yes I know I’m quoting Kristen from the Laguna Beach days…don’t judge). I had a piece of chocolate. [...]

Milk and Cookies (review post)

I know, it’s not Christmas anymore, but I finally feel prepared to give my first review of the amazing stash of Newman’s Own Organics products I was sent to review for the blog. Some cookies are very camera-shy so you’ll have to picture and Oreo, and an Oreo with chocolate filling. That’s what they Newman [...]

Pinot and Pizza with the BFF

Happy Last Day of 2009! My week off is not nearly as relaxing (meaning, not nearly enough TV time) as I was hoping but I have been cooking and exercising, which were two things I wanted to do as much as possible without that pesky job getting in my way. Right now I’m mid-prep for [...]

Not Exactly Healthy Twists

Happy Monday! I hope some of you have today, or this whole week off like I do. (Yes, I’m bragging. Just give it to me, ok?) I wasn’t around blog land too much these past few days, because I’ve been spending time with friends and family. Which is kind of what holidays are for, right? [...]

But it means less time for blogging! (Side note, for you students out there, if you’re looking for reference info at the [...]

Product Review: VitaTops and VitaBrownie

Awhile ago, I was sent a sampler pack of VitaTops and VitaBrownies to try out and review for the blog. I wanted to wait until I had tried enough to give my full review. Thanks, Katie from Vitalicious, for sending me these free samples. I’ve seen these on blogs and the Hungry Girl emails (that [...]

Good Intentions, Better Cake

Happy Halloween everyone! I am going to a little party tonight and I can’t wait to show you pics of my costume (and Mitch’s). Everyone who knows about it has gotten a laugh out of it so far, and that’s all I’m going to say! Yesterday at work was a going-away party for a coworker [...]

Product Review: Jay Robb Protein Powder

I’m up early this morning, well actually it’s the same time I always get up to work out, but instead I’m going into work early to help with some TV crews that are coming to the Museum. So my workout gets pushed to the afternoon, which is OK because I like the Thursday afternoon trainer. [...]

Feeling the Pride Today

Good morning (or afternoon)! I am in a really good mood right now. Keep on reading to learn why… Like other bloggers, I received a few loaves of bread from Nature’s Pride to sample and review. Mitch is VERY brand-loyal, so we’re big Oroweat purchasers around here and I was interested in trying out a [...]
