Boring Eats

I had a bowl of Raisin Bran before I left for work.  I probably should’ve poured a mug of coffee before I left but I was running short on time.  I decided I’d power through the day instead.  I’m a little bit sleepy! I snacked on a Clemintine.  This is an especially good box since [...]

Anchovies

Strawberries for a snack. Sandwich with vegetable hummus, carrots, cucumbers, and greens.  Plus a bag of Sunchips! Yes, yes I wore Ugg boots to work today. And yes, they are old and stinky but they are WARM and so comfy. I didn’t plan any of my workouts this week.  I have some idea of what [...]

Guest Post: Jill’s Thanksgiving Cake

I asked my cousin Jill to do a guest post featuring her Thanksgiving dessert.  Jill is the baker in the family.  She prepares some kind of special dessert for every holiday.  I’m always excited to see what she’ll create!  Since I’m not going to be home for Thanksgiving this year, I asked Jill to chronicle [...]

Sunday/Monday Mash Up

I made American Chop Suey for dinner using spinach penne, ground turkey, and a can of corn.  I forgot to cook the corn before adding it to the mix, but I resolved the problem by putting the HUGE serving bowl into the microwave for 30 seconds.  I ate my American Chop Suey with a small [...]

Pops Restaurant

Last night, I worked on my core muscles for 6 minutes before showering and getting ready for dinner and whatever the night was to have in store. Jared and I went to dinner at Pops Restaurant, another restaurant that’s really close to our apartment.  We shared a bottle of Sangiovese.  For the past few months, [...]

Stephie’s

Jared, Drew, Nicki, Chris, and I met at Stephie’s for dinner.  It was pretty crowded so we got drinks at the bar while we waited for our table.  I had a glass of Malbec, my favorite!  I also tried some of Nicki’s Sangiovese and it was delicious. We split the Butternut Squash Risotto as an [...]

Nom nom nom

I was SO hungry when I woke up this morning that I didn’t even bother to make a nice breakfast.  I grabbed the nearest box of cereal and poured a bowl.  Raisin bran with granola, mmm! I was really excited for today’s lunch.  Annie’s Mac and Cheese, leftover brussel sprouts, and a little bit of [...]

What are YOU doing on 12/19?

*December Meetup!* For those that are interested, there’s going to be a healthy living meetup on December 19th at 7pm. We’ll be meeting at the statue in front of Fanuiel Hall across the street from the stairs to the Government Center T stop. The plan is to look at Christmas decorations and find somewhere to [...]

Whittle My Middle

Better late than never!  I’m officially joining Angela’s Whittle My Middle in 30 Days Challenge. The challenge began November 11 and goes until December 9.  I missed the first 9 days, but I’m still going to work my hardest for the remaining 21 days.  3 weeks is enough time to make a difference in my [...]
