It was really hard to wake up this morning for some reason. But I did it and, against some of my good senses, did Level 2 and Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred. Whew. What a fabulous 36-minute workout. Loved it and it totally got me energized for the day. After a shower, it [...]

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 [...]
Apparently I’m in love with all things grilled right now, particularly grilled sandwiches. For dinner tonight I made a wrap with leftover black beans and mashed avocado from yesterday, plus a few chopped cherry tomatoes. I packed everything together and grilled the wrap until it was nice and toasty. Along with a side of broccoli [...]
Are y’all aware of the magic of lentils? 1/2 cup of cooked lentils (which is a whole lot) gives you eight grams of fiber and nine grams of protein for only 115 calories and ~15% of your daily iron and potassium needs. Pretty awesome, huh? Plus they’re delicious. I made my lentils today by cooking [...]

It’s been quite the busy day! This morning, I had the pleasure (and the challenge) of planning a gluten-free brunch. I decided on a frittata as the main entree. Into my ovensafe pan went (in order of cooking): onions, mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, diced apple, olives, and spinach. I let those cook together, added two whole [...]
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 [...]
The Evolution of a Dinner

It’s a long story about dinner, but I suppose I should show lunch first, right? A small white fish fillet (~2-3 oz.), baked with adobo chili pepper, in a whole wheat wrap with diced mango and red onion slices! Wrapped in aluminum foil, this kept perfectly until lunch. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired [...]

That would stand for black bean burgers, of course. Dinner tonight was amazing. Plain and simple. For two servings, I combined 2/3 cup of black beans with 2 tbsp. whole wheat flour, paprika and a few chopped mushrooms. While those burgers cooked in a skillet (~4 minutes per side), the sweet potato fries were in [...]

This afternoon, I was doing some food shopping for work and found some cool new products. First of all: I used to drink hemp milk often because the nutrient profile is really good, but it’s expensive and I liked the vanilla flavor (which is high in sugar). I heard a couple of months ago that [...]
