Yesterday for lunch I was treated to a homemade open faced tuna melt – I loved it:…… Continue reading October Weekends

A Trip To Trader Joe’s…

…really made my day super special today! Two weeks ago I found out that there was a new Trader Joe’s in town. For a lot of people this would be exciting news no matter what. Yes, so many of us love Trader Joe’s. But this new store and location was especially fantastic for me -…… Continue reading A Trip To Trader Joe’s…

Health

Exercise, Reading and Snacks

Last week was a pretty successful “back to a healthy routine” week. I exercised every single day, except for Friday when it was pouring down rain. But seven out of eight days of exercise is not bad! I also ate healthily every day, too. It is hard to balance everything, so I did not get…… Continue reading Exercise, Reading and Snacks

Tuesday: Soup, and More Soup!

The days are going by quickly and I have been busy and enjoying it for the most part. I hope this continues! My…… Continue reading Tuesday: Soup, and More Soup!

Julia Child, that is (of course!!!) and I have to thank my blog reader and friend, Marilyn because she gave me Julia’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking several years ago. It is (obviously) one of my favorite cookbooks. I have been craving mushrooms lately.…… Continue reading Inspired by Julia

Tuesday

I am so glad that it is Tuesday evening. I don’t know about you – but my Tuesday was a lot better and more productive than my Monday. I would rather forget my commute home on Monday – forever. It took me over THREE hours to get home, unfortunately because there was a serious car…… Continue reading Tuesday

Running

A Long Overdue Long Run

Happy weekend!!! I don’t know about you but I am so glad it is the weekend right now. Work was so busy this week, but somehow I managed to maintain a decent work, life, running balance – I am not quite sure how I pulled it off. Saturday morning meant a long run for me.…… Continue reading A Long Overdue Long Run
