I am a bad food blogger. I don’t follow the national food holidays at all, but I noticed someone on twitter mentioned that yesterday was National Pancake Day and I since I am still recovering from my cold and rather tired I thought I’d whip up some pancakes for dinner instead of what I had…
Spinach-Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms & Meal Planning
How was everyone’s weekend? Two of the kids caught a cold last week and passed it along to me. Luckily I caught a mild case of it and with a good nights’ sleep Friday was still able to run 8 miles with my running group. The only problem was that running for over an hour…
Eating Healthy When Dining Out
I fell in love with eating out at [good] restaurants when I was in college. I lived in Austin, Texas, how could I not? My friends and I would spend the weekends trying new places, spending money we didn’t have on full course meals. Not that we didn’t frequent a million inexpensive Tex-Mex places too….
Super Bowl Food and Hot Feta Artichoke Dip
Ok I will admit it, I get more excited about food than football. There, I said it. I honestly was just reminded that the Super Bowl was coming up from one of my friend’s blogs. I just don’t get into pro football, but don’t hate me. I am still here to bring you some yummy…
What I Ate This Month and Meal Planning
Hi friends! I hope you all had a restful, rejuvenating weekend. We had a lot going on at church this weekend, spent Friday making homemade deep dish pizza and Saturday night tried out a new Greek restaurant which unfortunately ended up being very average. We had a brief period of warmer temps (mid 40s with…
Health Benefits of Water- How Much Is Enough?
I started my blog with the intention of posting both recipes and nutrition information. Then I found myself falling in love with photographing food so it was hard for me to post a non-recipe, picture post. After blogging for 2 years and learning what is and isn’t working, I’ve come to realize it’s pretty tough…
Healthy Snack Ideas and Frozen Banana Pops
We are in our second week of the four week DietBet weight loss challenge I am hosting and today I thought we’d talk about healthy snacks. I know personally I get into the routine of eating the same few things for my snacks so I thought it would be helpful to make a list of some…
A Running Community & Braised Chicken with Sausage & Beans
Oh boy how is it Sunday already? It always shocks me how quickly the weeks fly by. It was a pretty quiet weekend for us. The excitement for me was that I joined a neighborhood running group! It’s called Wear Blue to Remember and was created to build a running community that honors the service…
Fitness Friday: A Workout & Tips for Seeing Results
I’ve had a great week of workouts. It’s funny what the mind can do when it comes to exercise. I just felt like stepping it up and once Monday rolled around I pushed myself more than I have lately. I got in a nice variety- 2 days of treadmill running, 2 days of Insanity and…
Stress Management for a Healthy Lifestyle
We are on day 3 of the DietBet I am hosting. I am so exited that over 30 people joined, making the pot $875! I know that I have been very aware of what I have been putting in my mouth. I usually eat healthy, but totally admit to shoving a piece of bread with…
