Soup, salad and bread thins – this title is inspired by Olive Garden’s “soup, salad and bread sticks” deal – but better. It’s better because I made my fave tomato and red pepper soup! I almost burned the house down! I spilled my sandwich thin upside down in the oven and all the cheese spilled off, spilled onto the bottom…

Lovely Lunch Date
I had a lovely lunch date today with Ben. He was attending a conference down the street from my work and met me for lunch at a local Thai restaurant. I love this place because of all the parasols that hang from the ceiling. I post a pic of it every time I come here 🙂 This is me wearing…

Escamocha
This rainy weather made me very happy to stay inside this morning. It is a rest day so I did some 30 Day Shred with Jillian and called it a workout 🙂 I was super rushed this morning because I overslept but I did have time to make a beautiful breakfast inspired by my old escamocha shop in CA. I…

My little heart
I’m sorry for the missing lunch time post, my little heart (the only part of me that is little) just wasn’t into it today. I think I have Seasonal Affective Disorder aka “S.A.D.” It was rainy and gloomy here today 🙁 And it’s hard to get a hold of friends to talk to when they’re all on West coast time….

Cottage Cheese Stuffed Shells
Ever since I bought a HUGE tub of cottage cheese from Costco I have been looking for a recipe to use a lot of ’em! I decided to make stuffed shells, but switch ricotta for cottage cheese. You could tell the difference, but they still turned out yummy! I don’t like following recipes, so I basically mixed up cc, seasonings,…

Weight-loss Lesson #1
Weight-loss Lesson #1: Don’t shop hungry! Because if you do you might end up buying dark chocolate Chex mix and eating half the bag on the way home. And then trying some in a cup with milk – yes I went there. If you shop hungry, you might also buy honey mustard pretzels and rip open the bag because that’s…

R.I.P Fishies
Before I get into the sad details of our dying fish… Breakfast was Pumpkin Oat Bran topped with PB and granola. I am curious how long oat bran without PB would keep me full because the combo really sits like a brick in my stomach. I am loving this pecan granola by the way… Marathon Training: 4.5 miles – I…

Portabella Burgers
I remember the first time I had a portabella burger. It was during freshman orientation at Whittier College (I ended up transferring after freshman year). I had recently decided to take veganism for a spin, but knew nothing about being vegan or even vegetarian for that matter. I remember being so impressed and almost awestruck by the flavor and meaty-ness…
