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 [...]

How to Ruin Chicken in 4 Easy Steps

Ranting and a Recipe

You know the feeling where your body is begging you for healthy, fresh foods? Well, I have been so sporadic with my eating choices lately, doing this yo-yo between “eh, it won’t kill me” = less nutritious food choices, and “I NEED HEALTHY FOOD” = balanced meals with lots of veggies, whole grains, and lean [...]
