Jelly Bellies…

Happy Tuesday, bloggies. I hope your day was off to a better start than mine was this morning. My drive in to work was sub-par, to say the least. I barely made it to work. I was not feeling well at all (post surgery complications, to be expected I am told for up to a…… Continue reading Jelly Bellies…

Sunday Night Prep…

Do you ever ask yourself, “where did this weekend go!?” I find myself asking that question most Sunday evenings. But tonight I looked at the clock and was shocked to see that it was 9:30 PM – I had no idea where the rest of my day went! I accomplished a ton of things today…… Continue reading Sunday Night Prep…

Omega for thought…

After reading a couple of articles on Omega 3 fatty acids, I am going to be picking up some supplements at some point today or tomorrow. I fear my runner’s knee is trying to return, and I am wondering if adding more omega 3 fatty acids into my diet might help prevent the injury from…… Continue reading Omega for thought…

Good Food Can Be Simple Part II

So I have been in the kitchen all day today, and all night last night. What better time for Good Food Can Be Simple Part II? I was not going to be making an elaborate dinner tonight. My legs hurt from standing and moving around the kitchen for hours! I made my mom what I…… Continue reading Good Food Can Be Simple Part II

Recovery Soup…

Hi there bloggies: I am recovering from surgery pretty well so far. I have watched some movies (thanks Andrew for bringing me The Social Network!I) and enjoyed having company. Last night I started reading again, which is a good sign in the recovery process. Today I hope to finish Perfect Life by Jessica Shattuck. The…… Continue reading Recovery Soup…

Soup

Just for the record, we had the soup for dinner last night along with some great whole grain bread from Dave’s. It was a great dinner and there was yet another huge snow storm going outside. I took a really horrible photograph via my iPhone, just for the record: Garnished with more freshly ground pepper…… Continue reading Soup

Plant Based Diets…

Happy Sunday morning everyone! I hope you are all having a relaxing, stress free day so far.  Yesterday I was thinking about former President Bill Clinton (or WJC as I affectionately refer to him), as I was watching the funeral service for Sargent Shriver (one of my personal heroes).  I got to thinking about President…… Continue reading Plant Based Diets…
