Beware: even if you buy a fresh, boneless salmon fillet from the store, there could still be little bones. If you’re not careful, one of those said bones could get stuck in your throat. Thankfully, we have a lovely, local emergency room and I was in and out in probably under 20 minutes. That is [...]

Vacation Mode

Ahh… Vacation was lovely! I enjoyed some good times, relaxed, and spent a little quality time with my current book (The Time Traveler’s Wife). Plus I took advantage of some good eats, of course. I visited a lovely restaurant, Blue Dahlia Bistro, which has a very cool mission that’s all about using organic products, considering [...]

It’s 3:30 and I’m just starting my blog post…should give you an idea of how busy my day has been. And it only gets crazier from here! Long post today! Are y’all ready? We’ll start with dinner last night, which was prepared and eaten quickly before heading to a baseball game. I started by cooking [...]
What a great day. I started it off with probably my best run ever, had lots of good eats, enjoyed a very luxurious nap, and am getting a lot of things crossed off my to-do list before I go out of town for the next two weekends. Fabulous day! There were halibut steaks on sale [...]
Afternoon Special

Since I’m going back to school in just a few weeks, I need to prep for those 5:30 dinners. Tonight was a perfect example. One of the best pizzas we’ve ever made…maybe the best? Tomato sauce, zucchini, summer squash, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, red onion, olives, shrimp. I really do like pizza as a dinner (particularly [...]
I Made It!

I made it, that is, all the way to Level 3 of Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred. I liked it and it was tough, but the jury’s still out on which level I like best, 2 or 3. I’ll just have to keep doing Level 3 and find out. Some of the strength moves are [...]
Back on the Yoga Train

Just as Whit mentioned in a comment the other day, I hopped back on the yoga train this morning. I turned off my alarm, rolled out of bed onto the floor, and started in on Gentle Hatha #1. This is the Yoga Download class that I started with, and it’s what I would recommend to [...]
Pasta e Fagioli

I don’t think I’ve ever had pasta e fagioli (the classic Italian pasta and beans) so I decided to make some of my own for lunch. This one was good, but not great. I couldn’t even tell you exactly what I thought was missing, but it was something! I’ll try it again soon. While some [...]
Bad Food Blogger…

Yup, you can guess what happened. We made a nice dinner, I arranged my plate all pretty, went into the other room to fetch the camera…and forgot to take a picture. Sorry! Guess it was bound to happen. It was really good, though! On the menu tonight was a frittata, which is an Italian egg [...]
Classic Twist

Tonight’s dinner was a different spin on an old classic. Everyone’s heard of chicken salad, but instead I made shrimp salad and pumped it up a little bit nutritionally. I started by grilling eight ounces of shrimp (four per person). Frozen shrimp is a wonderful staple to keep in your freezer! You can make it [...]
