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
My morning was sort of funny today. I left the house without a smoothie and without coffee. I stopped at Honey Dew Donuts and ordered a medium iced coffee with milk and (in all caps as I was ordering) NO SUGAR, please. I was so thankful to have an iced coffee on my ride to…… Continue reading Salads and French Cooking
So, you might have been wondering where I have been over the last couple of weeks. Some blog readers have asked me why I am not writing as much as I usually do. Well, the good news is that I’m not sick (the last time I stopped writing I was in the hospital!). I am…… Continue reading The last couple of weeks…

But honestly? It is pouring rain right now, and I’ve done two days in…… Continue reading It was a dark and stormy night…
Wow. It is finally Friday. It has been a super long work week for me. But it was only a four day work week, thankfully. Even though I had long days, I am glad I only had four days to report to the office. 🙂 I was able to sleep until 7 o’clock this morning…… Continue reading Finally Friday
Hey ya’ll – happy hump day. I had some decent eats today. Highlights? Lavender honey from the Troy, New York’s Farmer’s Market… so good! My salad was a hit, too. Let’s start with breakfast. Another whole wheat english muffin from Whole Foods. This time with the Saratoga peanut butter (also from the Troy farmer’s market) and the…… Continue reading Hump Day Breakfast and Lunch…
Here is a brief re-cap of today’s food.Breakfast was a whole grain english muffin from Whole Foods (140 calories) with 1 table spoon of peanut butter (90 calories) (this peanut butter was from the Farmer’s Market last Saturday… ah, memories of vacation!) and 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam (20 calories) (AFM’s favorite because it is…… Continue reading Tuesday
… it can help reduce your carbon footprint! A couple of days ago I started reading about how having a peanut butter and jam sandwich for lunch instead of a hamburger or a ham and cheese sandwich will do a world of good for the environment. The more I read, the more I wanted a…… Continue reading Another great thing about peanut butter…
