Barney Butter to the Rescue!

Hey All – Wow, I have been reading some of my favorite blogs and people have been having some good looking oats lately. As I was reading,  I wanted nothing more than a casual morning at home, enjoying breakfast on my deck while finishing up my book. Back to reality. Instead, I wake up at…… Continue reading Barney Butter to the Rescue!

My Running…

… is officially postponed. 😦 I am not going to dive into the details right now, because I still do not know too much. But after one more appointment with my favorite orthopedist a lot of my running goals are officially on hold until we figure out exactly what is going on with my knee.…… Continue reading My Running…

Taco Night…

So, when it is super hot out what else should you eat but hot “tex-mex” food???? Hee-hee-hee. I was flipping through my America’s Test Kitchen cookbook, and I came across a beef taco recipe. Not only do you season all of the beef, etc. (no more taco seasoning packets – ever!!!!) but you make your…… Continue reading Taco Night…

Still Hot…

It is still so hot. But I’ve managed to do some eating, just barely. Breakfast yesterday: Chobani vanilla yogurt with blueberries, Kashi go lean crunch and a sprinkle of cinnamon: Along side a piece of Arnold’s double protein bread and raspberry jam. The next thing I had to eat was at dinner – and it…… Continue reading Still Hot…

More heat… but not in the kitchen!

Hey All – I have had the following question in my head all day: Could it possibly be any hotter!? But I haven’t actually said this to anyone or written it anywhere (besides here) because the answer is: Of course it could be!!! Ugh. This heat is disgusting. Thankfully I’ve come up with some pretty…… Continue reading More heat… but not in the kitchen!

I was actually thrilled to be at work today in the air conditioning 🙂 On my drive home tonight I was trying to come up with a good idea for dinner.

Back to work…

I do not know about you, but this three day holiday weekend went by way too quickly. This morning I woke up at 6am and knew it was time to go back to work. I really wished that I had a couple of more days off. But by the time I got back to work,…… Continue reading Back to work…

Happy Friday!

Is there something better than the Friday before a holiday / three day weekend??? Right now, I don’t think so. I love the feeling of having three days ahead of you that are “work” free 🙂 and July 4th is one of my favorite holidays, because it is really the only holiday that is really…… Continue reading Happy Friday!

Lunch

Hey all. I am definitely feeing my knee tonight. But I made it through another day of work, for the most part. 🙂 I was a bad healthy eater last night, because I did not pack my breakfast and lunch before I went to bed. It’s hard to have the energy or pain tolerance to…… Continue reading Lunch

Yes, I still eat food…

Hi! Last night, out of desperation, I went to the market. It was a quick, and great shopping experience as my basket was filled to the brim with fresh produce! Now I just have to make sure to eat it all before I leave on Saturday. I am pretty sure I can do it :)…… Continue reading Yes, I still eat food…
