Focus on Food

I’m not a food blogger.  I’m just someone who occasionally blogs about food.  I like to take photographs of my meal and memorable food moments.  Food is fun! It’s a culinary triumph when I add onions and grape tomatoes to a couscous mix. Cheese and crackers always make such a pretty spread. I taught my [...]

Italian Feast Day

Today I chowed down like I was at an Italian feast.  Pizza, pasta, red sauce… I had 2 slices of apple banana bread for breakfast.  Maybe not Italian, but I have one loaf left and it needs to be eaten. What’s up now?!?!  Since I was stuck inside studying nutrition, I decided to do a [...]

Study Buddy

I woke up this morning, determined to document every single bite of food I ate today.  But I after I burnt out from studying all afternoon, that plan went out the window.  So here’s 75% of what I ate today! (And I can’t blog about exercise because there just wasn’t time!) I ate two three [...]

Eating What’s Left

I wasn’t really excited to blog about my meals yesterday.  I guess that happens when you’re eating leftovers over and over again.  Boring, blah! The same food for the 4th time in a week.  My Stuffed Acorn Squash tasted good the first 3 times I ate it.  I love fresh fall apples, but I’m dying [...]

Recreating a Favorite

Last year I created my own recipe for Baked Stuffed Acorn Squash.  I decided that today was the day to recreate the recipe! I opened my can of pumpkin during the afternoon hours and borrowed a little bit for a lunchtime smoothie. 4 ice cubes 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin 1 cup of applesauce 1 [...]

Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

The inaugural Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon was a great experience from start to finish.  It was my first non-local race, and I’m so glad I chose Disney World as my travel destination.  Disney took such good care of all of the runners and made sure that everyone had fun. Several Disney hotels provided [...]

The Velveteen Rabbit

My Birthday Week is over.  Seven lovely days of small presents and fun events.  My final birthday gift was a stuffed bunny. Pumpkin scented soap Apron Bracelet Tickets to Wicked Candle French cookbook and cafe music Bunny! The bunny was my absolute favorite gift!  So cute and snuggly soft. I owe Jared so many thank [...]

Birthday Eats and Treats

For the past 4 days, it’s been all birthday, all the time.  But that’s what happens when my boyfriend decides he wants to celebrate my birthday Hanukkah-style.  One present and a mini-celebration every night for one week. Yesterday, I tried to celebrate my birthday in my own special way: by preparing delicious food for every [...]

Starving Artist

I had the day off today and I spent all of my time at home.  Living the life I imagine for myself when I think of a career as a Starving Artist. I started my day (at 9:30 am, maybe 10 am…not an early morning) with a bowl of plain Special K cereal. I gazed [...]

Beautiful Food

I’ve been busy relaxing and enjoying the past 3 days off from work. I ate some tasty food. But before I chowed down, I took of great photos of my beautiful, beautiful food. Total cereal with fresh strawberries. A veggie burger topped with spinach. I also topped my veggie burger with avocado.  It’s been months [...]
