Have you seen that episode of The Office where Jim and Pam get back from their honeymoon, and that have a personal joke where they keep using a silly voice to say ‘franks and beans’…? Well, while I was cooking dinner tonight, I probably said that 15 times to myself because that’s exactly what we … Continue reading »

Chia Mania
You all expressed so much interest in the chia seed pudding on Sunday, I thought I would show you exactly how I do it. Plus, I woke up craving it for breakfast, so it’s win-win situation. First, get a hold of some chia seeds. (I get mine in the bulk bin at Sprouts) Next, you … Continue reading »
The People Park
Spin class was awesome this morning. I love the 6am Tuesday/Thursday teacher (Paul) – hence the 5am wake-up call during the summer. Not only does he PUSH the class to its limits every time, but the music is rockin’ – usually a mix of ’90s techno, Latin, and Jock Jams. Remember Jock Jams?! After class, … Continue reading »
So Hot In…

Pecan Pie Blizzard … Continue reading »
Moovin’ and groovin’
Hello Friends! My day was full of movement and I loved it. I started out this morning with a 6am spin class, followed by a nice long walk with Punky. As you can imagine, I was famished afterwards… A freckled smoothie – ½ banana, 1 peach, ½ cup vanilla soy milk, ½ cup water, ice, … Continue reading »
Rain, rain, you can stay.
Despite the rain, today was fantastic. Usually when the weather is icky like today, the best way for me to deal with it is to just go for it, and go outside to face it head on. That’s exactly what I did after a snack this morning. I turned my new protein powder into this… … Continue reading »

Thighs
Have you ever bought chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts? Well, I have. The thighs were so much cheaper at the grocery store today, and I thought what the heck? However, after I grilled them tonight, added a little bbq sauce, and took my first bite…I realized I should have shelled out the extra dinero. … Continue reading »
