Even though weare only an hour away from Seattle, we don’t make it up there very often. Since my mom is visiting we wanted to take her to Pikes Place Market and our favorite Greek restaurant on Saturday. I’ve been to the market a few times now but this was my first time buying any…
Sunglasses Shop Review
I used to be a bargain sunglass shopper. I’d buy several inexpensive pairs because I always thought I’d lose or ruin a nice pair of designer shades. What I found though is that I took terrible care of all my other glasses because they were “cheap” and I ended up going through so many pairs…
Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
Who doesn’t love that cheesy creamy hash brown casserole that usually makes an appearance around the holidays? If you are trying to avoid potatoes, this is a great substitute…Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin. It’s lower in fat, calories and carbs. What more could you ask for? Oh and it tastes good too! I used plain Greek…
What’s In Your Fitness Closet?
Being a stay-at-home mom who exercises on a regular basis allows for me to dress, um shall we say comfortably? The good news is that I always have make-up on and my hair is combed upon leaving the house to take my son to school! Yay me. I’ll admit though I put on workout clothes…
Chocolate Almond Microwave Mug Cake
So I saw some lady on Martha Stewart, or maybe it was Oprah, like 10 years ago (I think, I don’t really know when it was but it was a long time ago) and she was making individual microwave mug cakes. I thought the idea was kind of silly and figured the cake would taste…
Goodbye Google Reader & A Few Easter Ideas
I’ve got a few random things that I want to talk about today. First of all, did you hear that Google Reader will be shutting down in July? That’s right, it’s going away. For those of you that read your blogs via Google Reader you will probably want to find a new service sooner than…
Falafel Veggie Burger with Feta Yogurt Sauce
I really enjoy a good veggie burger and love that there is such a variety on how to prepare them- some are made with rice, some with lentils, some full of vegetables. One thing they have in common though- no meat! This version is a little different than your typical veggie burger- it’s got a…
Friday’s Favorite Things
I am going to keep it short today as I share some of my favorite things at the moment. I plan on doing this once a month or so because cyber shopping/browsing is FUN!! Favorite Snack Kind Bars– these are so yummy. You know how I feel about trying to make as much food as…
Schwan’s Home Delivery Review
When I was in graduate school in Boston back in 2000, I experimented with grocery store delivery services because I didn’t have a car for the 2 years I was there and in the heart of winter I found myself unmotivated to lug groceries on the subway. I only did it a few times but…
Fettuccine with Seared Tomatoes, Spinach and Goat Cheese
I am a magazine junkie- I subscribe to at least 5 food magazines and love them all! However, the one I have subscribed to the longest, and is still my favorite, is Cooking Light. I can’t tell you how many their recipes I have tried- an insane amount and they are all fabulous. Last week…
