We decided to take a bit of a break from writing for the last couple of days since we have past 100 posts. We decided now was the time to take a breath and re-evaluate where we’ve been and where we want to go.
While the general idea of the blog was to talk about things [...]

Absolutely one of my favorite lunch meals is homemade hummus on a pita.  It is just so much better than store bought.  I buy the roasted red peppers in a jar and add them at the end of the blending so they retain some texture.  No need for salt, there are many different spices and [...]

One of my favorite foods is anything Mexican!  Tacos, nachos, burritos… you name it I LOVE it!  Unfortunately, so much of the food I love is so bad for you.  One thing I like and have had prepared many ways is a chimichanga.  Basically, a deep fried burrito – stuff ‘em with meat and cheese, [...]

Now that I am starting to feel better – much better actually – I can eat again.  Not that I couldn’t eat when I was sick, just that because I was so miserable, nothing tasted good.  Sorta takes the fun out of eating.

I had originally planned on making salmon burgers for Saturday night’s dinner but I was also looking online for some new recipe ideas for this upcoming week and came across one for a salmon quesadilla. It looked so good I bumped the burgers for last night.

In all of my unofficial research on what it takes to either get leaner (or maintain optimum weight once you finally get there), eating 5-7 times a day has become one of my top personal rules. Now of course the challenge with this dramatic lifestyle change, if you have been eating only three times a [...]

April 17, 2010

…. well 5K … not happening today …. I walked down the driveway to the mailbox and was completely congested and winded by the time I got back in the house …. I am bummed …. but not willing to get sicker just to prove a point to myself.  Greg says he [...]

Sunday was my night to cook.  I am slow about posting – but it was really a wonderful and healthy dinner that we will absolutely have again.
I got this recipe from Cooking Light magazine, which has become my very favorite recipe magazine.  In an effort to be environmentally responsible, I stopped getting any magazine subscriptions, [...]
