Want FREE Stonyfield Oikos Greek yogurt?  Sign up here! Morning everyone!  How are you guys doing today?  I'm doing great...thanks to Miss FoodCents and her recommendation to sleep with a humidifier I woke up headache-free and happy!  Thanks girl :) Last night's dinner was CRAZY with a capital 'C'!  I made barbeque chicken/black bean crazy crust pizza!  (I know I said I was going to have soup, but I changed my mind and made it for lunches instead...recipe coming this afternoon so I can show a ... continue reading...

Don't forget to check out the contest for F-R-E-E Greek yogurt! Hey guys!  Happy Monday afternoon to all of you :)  Sad as it is to admit, lunch today was rather bo-ring and had NO COLOR whatsoever.  Behold the veggie burger-sandwich thin combo of old: And the dry, flavorless (unless served with hummus!) Kashi Heart to Heart crackers: They really weren't my favorite and I kept getting wheat shreds stuck in my throat.  HACK! The rest of the afternoon was spent trying to keep my dogs quiet...with ... continue reading...

Good morning everyone!  How are y'all on this fine Monday morning?  I must say I love the weekends...'nuff said :) SOOO remember how I had baby fever?  And how I was so excited to work in the nursery yesterday at church?  Yeah...baby fever is officially gone!  I guess crying babies will do that to ya :)  It's just as well though because we really do need to wait a little bit before we start popping out kiddos!  Lunch was pizza at Old Chicago: Jason, Steph, and Amy were so kind as to order half ... continue reading...

Morning!  How was y'alls Saturday?!  Mine was fantastic:  we got to ski an amazing powder day at one of our favorite mountains with great friends!  Let's back it on up to Friday night though.  Dinner was BREAKFAST ("Binner" as our friend Ben calls it :))  We made scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrown casserole, and cinnamon roll French toast!  I was hungry, so I piled my plate up with eggs and hashbrown casserole: Not a ton of color, but it was yummy!  I was so jealous of this plate of ... continue reading...

Morning y'all! How's Saturday treating you? We are hitting up Winter Park with our good friends David and Emma for one last day of skiing! I finally tried the spinach, egg, and feta wrap from Starbucks and a coffee...I really liked it! Definitely the perfect fuel for a day of hard skiing. Hope y'all have a wonderful day, and check back for the recap later! What's the BEST bowl of pasta you've ever had? What was it/what was in it? I gotta say I've had a lot of great pasta but a great one was ... continue reading...

BREAKFAST FOR DINNER! That's what's cooking for tonight anyway...but first, lunch.  I had a MorningStar Farms veggie patty with mustard and cheddar and the rest of my roasted brussels sprouts: I'm so going to miss my brussels for the summer, but I'm glad we had one last go around before then!  I really like these veggie patties, but I HATE water chestnuts, and these things are swimming with them!  They're easy to pull out, but I've had a couple of patties where they make up the bulk of the ... continue reading...

Happy Friday everyone!  I know I don't even need to ask, but are y'all ready for the weekend?!  I know I am! Last night when I got home I did the FIRM Power Yoga DVD, which was great because it really helped stretch out my legs.  It's not the most amazing and technical video, but I like that it spends a LOT of time in each pose so that my body can stretch, relax, and really learn how to be in new poses.  I felt completely invigorated afterward!  I was on my own for dinner since Nate was hanging ... continue reading...

Hey guys!  How are you?  Today has been a pretty specatcular Thursday thus far:  I've been featured on Tastespotting for my Sweet Potato Orzo & Fruit Salad, the brownies I made last night were a HUGE hit (I would know, I ate 3!), and oh, I don't know, I RAN A MILE TODAY WITH NO PAIN! That last one might not seem like a huge deal to anyone else, but if you've been following along you know this is a big deal to me.  I'm smiling like this right now --->  :D So yes, 3 brownies, and an ... continue reading...

Morning everyone!  First off, my Sweet Potato Orza & Fruit Salad made it on Tastespotting!!!  Check it out! :) Sorry, I was just SO excited about that.  I've submitted a lot of photos and never seemed to get one and finally today I saw it on there!  Dinner last night was fairly boring.  I made some BBQ (with Stubb's seasoning), green beans (he loves them out of the can!), and mashed potatoes.  I just had the leftover roasted broccoli and cauliflower in a bowl the some parm and my serving of ... continue reading...

Well, I feel kind of silly now talking about how crazy the snow was last night, seeing as how it's gorgeous and sunny and now all of the streets are dry.  Make no mistake, it was BAD yesterday, but now it's like it never even happened!  C'est la vie! Breakfast this morning was a bit out of the box: NO I did not have Oatmeal Stout for breakfast.  I believe that's called alcoholism.  No, no, I had the Couscous Veggie Wrap.  I wasn't really sure what I was going to think about this...I mean, ... continue reading...

Good morning everyone!  SOOOOOOOO yesterday we left work early and 2.5 hours later, we got home.  We work about 15 miles from our house.  You do the math.  This was my view the whole ride home...oh, except for when it started snowing harder: Not much of a view, right?  I'm amazed that we can even see our neighbor's house right now, especially since it's still coming down!  Also, last night the power went out 3 or 4 times.  It was kind of scary, and I was REALLY thankful that the last time it ... continue reading...

What is it with Tuesdays being incredibly slow?  Today just drug on and oooooon and oooooooooooon!  It's not very often that you beg for something to do, but today was one of those days! I did, however, make a very important discovery today:  there is a Great Harvest practially down the street from where I work!  Looks like I'll be investing some time and money there in the near future.  How did I discover this you ask?  Well, I found a cup of cookies in the office kitchen today! "Domed Good ... continue reading...
