Yesterday I felt like I was kicking ass and taking names.  I crossed a bunch of things off of my To Do list.  I ran errands.  I took a spin class and went out to dinner with friends. Today was a completely different story… After running yesterday’s errands that forced me to crisscross my Boston [...]

Chia seeds aren’t a new phenomenon in the healthy living world.  I can’t believe it’s taken such a long time for me to give them a try. Chia seeds can be added to smoothies, salad, or stir fries.  Many healthy living bloggers add them to yogurt or oatmeal.  I decided to sprinkle them on top [...]

Since I finished my wooden crate of Clementines, I’ve been feeling sad about the lack of fruit in my life.  I eat fresh fruits and vegetables all summer, but tend to chow down on carbs and chocolate during the winter. After a tasty but less than satisfying vegetable and goat cheese sandwich for lunch, I [...]

Yesterday it snowed.  A lot. I ate pizza.  A lot.  I had pizza for lunch and then leftovers for dinner! It was a good day! When I woke up yesterday morning, I wasn’t surprised to see snow on the ground.  The news had been forecasting the storm for days.  I spent my morning holed up [...]

I fell in love with NYC’s Le Pain Quotidien.  In fact, during my 3 day trip, I ate there twice. One giant cup of Cafe au Lait please! I was also obsessed with the Tartines, petite open faced sandwiches that made the most delicious and filling lunches both times I dined. Natalie enjoyed the Ricotta [...]

When my friend Natalie and I arrived in New York City yesterday afternoon, we were starving.  A four hour bus ride and 20 minute walk to your friend’s apartment will really make you hungry.  Once we had unpacked and settled in, our new resident New Yorker Jesse suggested lunch at Eataly. I was in heaven!  [...]

I had a great day yesterday.  But was it healthy or unhealthy?  Hmm… When I finally rolled out of bed (I slept A LOT later than everyone else in the house), I had a cup of coffee and a raisin bagel. I spent some time repacking and organizing my crap stuff that I spread all [...]

Merry Christmas! Did I look fun and festive for today’s Jingle Bell Run?  I thought so, and gave my outfit 2 thumbs up.  A clip and 5 bobby pins meant that giant bow wasn’t going anywhere while I was running around. A group of my friends and I ventured to Somerville this morning for the [...]

After a workout with SEAC‘s run club (I was 15 minutes late but made sure I ran my fastest during the final speedy laps around the track), I’m kinda tired. I’d rather read blogs than put a lot of effort into tonight’s post. Here are some fun food photos that I haven’t gotten around to [...]

This year Jared and I opted to spend Thanksgiving with our very good friends.  They’re just as important as the members of our families! Matt and Natalie hosted a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at their house in South Boston.  I was very thankful that Jared and I didn’t have to travel far to get there, just [...]
