Today was my last day babysitting and I brought the girls a treat – a Cookie shaped like a piece of pizza. It was too cute I had to get it :) I usually try to encourage them to be healthy, but kids need balance too. I am really going to miss them and they even gave me a present! Awwwww…. I also ...

Wrap It Up!
There are certain places you should always “wrap it up”. Like, half your meal at Claim Jumper (BIG Portions!) or certain body parts in Las Vegas (so everything that happens there does in fact, stay there). Unlike, embarrassing photos that can spread like wildfire… But, I digress…Another place ... Read More about Wrap It Up!

I loved them, but Ben not so much. It had pieces of different roasted veggies and the sauce we very flavorful (but ... Read More about Veggie Ravioli
Tastes Like Chicken
I eat mostly vegetarian because I’m against factory farming. But the truth is, even before I was veggie I rarely ate red meat. I was more of a chicken or fish girl I guess? So, chicken is really the only thing I miss in not eating meat. That all changed today when I discovered this new find – meat ... Read More about Tastes Like Chicken
Not Homeless
Good news! I’m not homeless! Our apartment management people finally got back to us and said we could stay if we signed a lease for at least six months. We wanted to go month to month, like they originally offered, but that was off the table. So, we signed the lease to avoid the headache of ... Read More about Not Homeless
The Love Child
I used to read the message boards on a fitness magazine website. There were a lot of girls/women that were either trying to lose weight or trying to recover from an eating disorder. Obviously, the combination made for some “stressful” comments. Anyways, on the message board I learned of “The Love ... Read More about The Love Child
Non Food Guilty Pleasure
I have a lot of food related guilty pleasures…(hence the reason these damn 10 pounds stick around no matter how much I run). Like whole veggie pizzas, just for me… And so much frozen yogurt I would definitely beat Man vs. Food in a YogurtLand competition… But, I also have a non-food ...

Mex Meatless Monday – Taco Salad
I have guacamole that’s on it’s last leg so I knew I had to make something Mexican for dinner tonight. I made myself an unexciting taco salad… “Put some hot sauce on my taco salad baby…” (sing it!) I made Ben Chicken and Salsa Pasta. This is not meatless, but you could replace the chicken with ... Read More about Mex Meatless Monday – Taco Salad
Protein Boost
KB was fun today! I’m glad I went :) I think part of my love for KB is that I love the music! And since I don’t listen to anything but my head movies while I run it’s super fun. This also means that the only times I listen to music are a.) Kickboxing b.) when I go dancing So, I’m afraid I’m ... Read More about Protein Boost
My Food Philosophy
I am reading Naturally Thin and am really liking it! Yesterday I got to a section in the book where you fill in things about your eating habits, food preferences and food philosophy. That last one stopped me in my tracks. I mean, I have a food blog, I have very strong views on food issues, yet I ... Read More about My Food Philosophy
Chocolate Covered Truth
I swear to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the Chocolate Covered Truth on this blog :) Look at the Dove promise I found inside my candy tonight… “Chocolate-coated truth tastes better.” I had every intention of being truthful about my post-dinner indulgences, but this wrapper ...

Shy Fruit
There is fruit underneath that mountain of cereal, cashews and chia seeds…it’s just shy! See :) My breakfast had cantaloupe, strawberries and bananas as the fruit component. This picture shows them peeking through a little bit more… I started the day with Jillian’s 30 Day Shred level 1 and a walk ... Read More about Shy Fruit
Just Add Syrup
After dinner I wanted a baked goodie :) So I decided to make something that I had seen on Janetha’s blog – Apple Cinnamon Protein Coffee Cake. I think I did something wrong though because it wasn’t sweet at all. So…I added syrup! I ate a lot of syrup today! First on pancakes for breakfast and ... Read More about Just Add Syrup
Weekend Pancakes
Is it just me or are pancakes a weekend thing? While on my run I had one thing on my mind PANCAKES! I considered going out to eat for breakfast, but decided I make a mean p’cake at home. Plus – at home you can add almond butter!!! In the mix: oatmeal, cottage cheese, egg beaters, baking soda, ... Read More about Weekend Pancakes
Pizza Again
I don’t really count pita pizza as “real pizza” so it didn’t occur to me until after we ordered that I ate pizza for lunch AND dinner today! I’d like to blame Ben, since it was his suggestion and once “real pizza” was in my mind I couldn’t get it out. Ben wanted to try Domino’s new recipe so we ... Read More about Pizza Again
