Remember yesterday? Man, seems like a long time ago, huh? I asked for guesses on what was in my breakfast (other than the obvious cereal yogurt, flax): Well, it wasn’t sweet and sour sauce or ketchup, but this gem I picked up on Monday and I went with my bestie Cara on a day trip [...]

Veggie and Vitamin-filled Dinner
Tonight’s dinner was so good, I’m posting it even though my photos, well, suck. (I really think I need a new camera, but also the lighting in my condo is terrible. I need to do more experimenting with lighting…and learn how to take photos! I think my blog will be 100% better if I can [...]
Healthy Twists at Dinner Parties
Well…this is a BIG week over in the Healthy Twists household. Last week of bootcamp! It’s been quite the 12 weeks, friends. I’ll go over my general reflections about my experience later this week, as well as the results of my final weigh-in, but I wanted to thank all of you who have stuck by [...]
Rocking and (Spring) Rolling
I had FUN in the kitchen last night! Awhile back, Mitch’s stepmom (does anyone besides me hate the term “stepmom”? But “father’s wife” is longer and contains far too many apostrophes) gave us a package of spring roll wrappers when I mentioned I couldn’t find them in my grocery store. Since I took yesterday off [...]
Backs Books & Burgers
I ended up going to acupuncture yesterday, and I liked it…I mean, as much as you can like having needles stuck in you, I suppose. The doctor (they’re doctors, right?) is also a chiropractor, and she mentioned during the initial consultation that my hips are a bit out of alignment. Maybe that’s why I still [...]
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 [...]
Lentils for the Non-Marathoner
Yesterday, I volunteered at the finish line of the San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon from 6 AM until about 2. It was definitely an experience, I will say that! For the first few hours, I filled trash cans with ice + water bottles, and then I helped prep the medal section. Then, once the [...]
Pre-Vacation Soup Making
By the time you read this, I’ll be in Palm Springs! I’m hoping the trip is a really nice mix of activity (between the golf course, tennis court, pool, and gym), relaxation, and fun foods/drinks. Mitch’s dad and his wife are being so gracious in treating us to this lovely (and I might add, NEEDED) [...]
Banana-Mango Green Smoothie, Please!
As part of Project Eat All the Costco Spinach, I decided to make green smoothies for breakfast this week. I used the basic “Green Monster” recipe that Angela at Oh She Glows has made so very popular. And it’s popular for a reason: they taste great and I really did feel healthy starting my day [...]
