Why hello there, happy Thursday evening everyone. It is really cold here, again. Last week we had some nice weather, and then Tuesday night the snow moved in and when it finally moved out on Wednesday afternoon, the frigid air moved in again. (Noticing a pattern, anyone?) Apparently my body (and possibly my mind) wants…… Continue reading Hibernation?
This weekend I was able to stay really healthy! Sometimes on the weekends it is hard to really stay to a strict plan… but this weekend I felt like I accomplished a good amount. I ran and walked on the treadmill on Saturday, Sunday and Monday for 45 minutes or more. I had healthy meals…… Continue reading A Weekend Recap
You always hear that losing weight the healthy way is a slow slog a lot of times. Especially when you are trying to lose a smaller amount of weight. That is what people always tell me. That is also what I always tell people who ask me my opinion. Become more active, change your eating…… Continue reading Thursday Frustrations
Happy Wednesday everyone! I had a fairly good day sticking to my ‘plan’ today. Breakfast and lunch were the same as they have been for the past seven work days (somehow I have not gotten sick of oats and turkey wraps yet!). In the afternoon I attended a reception at work. I snacked on a…… Continue reading Very Little Leeway…
Greetings, blog readers. It is Tuesday night of week two in the healthy eating, back on track adventure. For some reason I thought this week would be easier than last week – but so far I’m not all that sure.

I left work at noon on Tuesday (New Year’s Eve) and did not go back to work until Monday of this week!…… Continue reading January 2014
So…. this polar vortex is heading right towards me (and everyone else on the Northeast seaboard) and if you have not already been affected by this cold – chances are you are already right in the thick of it. Today was my first day back to work, and after a productive day back I had…… Continue reading Butternut Squash and Red Lentil Soup
As the weather forecasters promised, Thursday morning we woke up to snow. The snow had actually started before we had gone to bed on Wednesday night – around 11:30 PM. It snowed all day on Thursday… Thankfully on Tuesday I had gone to Wegman’s and picked up ingredients for Ina’s winter minestrone soup, bread, milk…… Continue reading Snow Day Birthday
Greetings from a snow bound food blogger! I do not feel like I often tell you Stop what you are doing – you have to make this recipe. But tonight, yeah, I am sort of telling you that is exactly what you need to do. For Christmas I received a fantastic cookbook by one of…… Continue reading A Winter Storm and Amazing Minestrone Soup
For the last dinner of 2013, I went back to one of our favorite dinners. Udon noodle bowls with tofu, vegetables and an amazing peanut sauce. This meal always takes me a long time to put together – but the end result is amazingly fresh and worth the effort. (I don’t think it would take…… Continue reading New Year’s Eve Dinner
