I set my alarm for 5:15 am so I could snooze twice before I absolutely HAD to get up and get out the door for the 6 am Body Pump class at the back Bay HealthWorks. I said hi to Patricia and started setting up my mat, weights, and bench.  Looked to my right and [...]

After all of my hard work in the kitchen yesterday, I thought I deserved a sweet treat.  I had a bowl of vanilla ice cream with a scoop of peanut butter.  As soon as I took this photo, I gave 2 large spoonfuls of ice cream to Jared.  The poor guy just doesn’t understand girl-sized [...]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed cupcake t-shirt?  Thank you Johnny Cupcakes!   How awesome is a pepperoni pizza in the shape of a cupcake?!?!  I actually bought this shirt when JC hosted a movie night in Coolidge Corner. I made Pacific Natural Foods’ spicy black bean soup and added a dollop of plain Chobani (sunk to [...]

I was really in the mood for cereal, but we were out of milk.  So I grabbed a strawberry Chobani and mixed in some Cinnamon Raisin Swirl peanut butter and a tablespoon of raisins.  The regular raisins were SO much better than those in the PB.  I love the cinnamon PB flavor, but wish the [...]

I sampled Chobani’s new strawberry banana flavor of Greek yogurt for breakfast this morning.  Since I’m not normally drawn to strawberry banana, I added a spoonful of peanut butter to peak my interest.  I tried to take one bite of the yogurt without PB; tasted good to me.  But with the PB it was even [...]

I ate a Banana Nut VitaMuffin before I left for work.  I was really hungry and needed something to hold me over until my Chobani taste test. I tried the raspberry flavor first.  I’m a huge fan of anything berry flavored so this was an easy decision. The verdict? Delicious.  The raspberry flavor isn’t quite [...]

It’s been over 6 months since I started bringing my lunch to work.  Every day I carry a plastic bag filled with goodies and think, “I really need a lunch bag.”  At the end of the week, when the plastic bag is getting kind of gross, I use it as a trash bag in my [...]

I was ready for lunch by noon.  I tried a sample of Yogi walnut spice crunch cereal I had gotten from HealthWorks a few months ago. I blended the cereal into a container of strawberry Chobani.  Mmm!  I don’t know why I’d been saving this sample for over a month.  This cereal is a little [...]

I refused to open my laptop while Glee was on.  But at least I photographed my nibble of Newman’s Own Organics Milk Chocolate.  Mmm, But definitely not for dogs!) Glee was great!  I laughed; I almost cried.  I can’t wait for it to return in the spring.  I’m sure I’ll get the DVD as soon [...]
