I have been trying to cut back on sugar for a few reasons, but can’t help that I love to sweeten up my eats. I usually add a little brown sugar to my oat bran (or oatmeal). Yesterday at the store I saw Truvia was on sale. I figured it was worth a shot and took it home (after paying…

Coffee and Donuts
My errands began with coffee and donuts. Well, DD iced coffee and a munchkin to be exact… I also tried a bite of Ben’s pumpkin donut. I have to say I was disappointed by it. Boo. I had such high hopes for this pumpkin donut! But, it wasn’t very pumpkin-y and wasn’t very special. Weekend eating is always really weird…

Tiny Tea Cups
This morning I used my cute little tea cup for juice. I love using smaller dishes to help with portion control (and of course it doesn’t hurt if they’re cute!). These tea cups are from a set my Nina bought me for my bridal shower and I adore them. I think of them as super tiny tea cups and don’t…

Chocolate Chip Cranberry Muffins
Today’s eats were really random… since I ate a big breakfast at noon I didn’t get hungry again until around 2:30/3pm – and I don’t think I was really even hungry, probably just tired from the whole “I ran 19 miles today” thing. I ate a mango and nachos for “lunch”. Yes, I ate nachos. I just threw them together…

True Life: I’m training for a Marathon
MTV’s True Life series inspired this post. It’s crazy how much training for a marathon changes your day to day life. Last night I made sure to avoid alcohol, carb load and get to sleep early. Hey, I didn’t say it was a dramatic day to day, I just said it changes stuff. This morning I woke up early to…

New Running Shoes
I get excited over new running shoes like Carrie used to get over Manolos. For real. After deciding I desperately needed new ones I did some internet research to compare and contrast my two all time favorites – Asics Gel Nimbus & Adidas Supernova with a new brand – Mizuno. Today I went to the mecca of running shoes to…

Love Hate Relationship with Cereal
I have a love/hate relationship with cereal. I love it. But, I hate it too. Whenever there is a sugary cereal in my house I will eat it until it’s gone (that usually happens quickly). Randomly. When I’m bored/not hungry/whatever. Most of this misses the camera, so I’m not held accountable 🙁 Right now I have a bunch of Nature’s…

Vegan Chocolate & The Intuitive Eating Process
Your guesses were correct – I made tofu curry for dinner. I squeezed out the excess water in the tofu for one hour. Then, sauteed a sweet onion and chopped some carrots. I put the tofu, onion, carrots, coconut milk and spices into the crockpot on low for 4 hours (until it had thickened and the carrots were soft). This…

Vegan for a Day
I am participating in Vegan for a Day, part of Vegan Week hosted by Katy and Michelle. I don’t eat meat, but do eat dairy, fish and eggs. (I usually refer to myself as a pescatarian.) But, I knew one vegan day would not be hard for me. I actually had a day recently that was completely vegan “by accident”…
