I’ve never been big into preparing special meals on Valentine’s Day since it usually falls on a work day and all I want is a simple night out with wine. But I’ll make an exception if the recipe is quick, easy, and loaded with chocolate. In fact, with as stressful as work has been lately, […]
Noodle Tempeh Stir Fry
Now I remember why I’ve been holding off for so long on replacing my car – car shopping is a pain in the rear! I’m spoiled by having a reliable car that’s been paid off for over 7 years. But browsing the prices, payments, insurance costs, etc. on a new car is frustrating after so […]
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
I’ve had my hands full the last two days breaking in Miko, our newly adopted rescued chihuahua, who is currently snoring in my lap after another intense play session. When we first brought him home Saturday, he was a calm and sweet little guy. Sunday he turned into a wild party animal thinking our cats […]
Banana Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
Good news, my kitchen is finally restocked! Well, I’m excited about that. Hubby and I braved the weird, rainy and cold weather to load up at Whole Foods today. $150 later, I should be good for a while. :-) And it’s been a wonderfully relaxing weekend so far, I slept in, had a lazy breakfast […]

Morning Workouts & Protein Ice Kream
As usual, this weekend flew by too fast, but I had a relaxing break catching up with my task list and getting in a little play time. And I’m grateful the insanity of the last few weeks is behind us for now and I have a long weekend to look forward to. The craziness of […]
Raw Banana Nut Ice Cream
TGIF! Another busy week down and I’m feeling pretty good after 5 straight days of spinach-loaded smoothie breakfasts, it’s amazing how satisfying a smoothie is for breakfast, making it to lunch has not been a problem. Also, energy has been plentiful this week with only one cup of coffee in the morning instead of my […]
