Happy Friday! What a long week it’s been! I even set my coffee maker to go off minutes after my alarm this morning and the sound grinding beans and fresh coffee smell was almost not enough to motivate me out of bed. I’m not the only one feeling tired, lots of co-workers are complaining and […]
New Camera Bag & Relaxed Dinner
As much as I love my new digital SLR camera – it’s big and not easy to travel with by the time I pack some additional lenses, flash, etc. For a woman, carrying a utility camera bag with a purse is not fun which I discovered when I took my camera to a restaurant Saturday. […]
Smoothie Upgrade & Jicama Salad
My usual go to protein powder for breakfast smoothies is Sun Warrior Protein Powder, it’s smooth, sweetish and has a nice, mild chocolate or vanilla flavor pairing perfectly with fruit and overpowering all the veggies I cram in. But sometimes I gotta change things up and try something new. I figured while my half-marathon training […]
Ghetto Smoothie & Creamy Salad
Today was beautiful except for the 45 MPH windy gusts! My car tends to handle like a billboard in those conditions while my hair turns into a ratted poof. Thank goodness I used an entire can of hairspray to plaster it back into a bun … okay, only half. To add to today’s challenges, I’m […]
Creamy Marinara Skillet
Yeah, it’s Monday. But it was a good Monday for me because after a busy weekend of being on call for work, I got to pass the on call duties to a co-worker and enjoy my new freedom of not having to carry around an additional, bulky cell phone … for a couple of weeks […]
Lazy Super Bowl Sunday
Ah, what a laid back day of perfect weather. Hubby and I stayed home today and had a quiet day working on house projects and watching the game. Well he watched most of it, I buzzed around playing in the kitchen, catching up on laundry and getting into shopping trouble online. And dealing with a […]
Running, Wrapping & Eating Out
Whew, what a day! I am actually tired from my activity filled day of running, shopping at Costco (more tiring than my long run I think!) and having a wonderful evening out with my sisters and our husbands. I did get in my long run this morning which made me feel great to get it […]
Shopping & Snacking
TGIF! I’m so glad the weekend is here and ready for some relaxing. Today I sort of grazed through the day for food breaking lunch into snacks because I wanted to knock out a Target shopping trip. So I went to work with a purse full of goodies that included fruit, a Sun Warrior protein […]
Steamed Cauliflower Mash
Shadow, one of our cats, has a strange habit of kneading our couch pillows, he can do this for nearly 30 minutes while zoning out and not noticing anything that’s going on around him or that he’s about to get a nasty surprise if he gets too close Smokey, our pushy female cat, who will […]
Sprouted Lentils & Eggplant
Happy Thursday … wait, it’s only Wednesday. Rats! At least it hasn’t been a bad week. And we’re getting absolutely perfect weather here, bright, sunny, in the 60s with a slight breeze and I can’t complain about that. Or the beefcake I was treated to when I checked the mail. And for once he was […]
