Today was the first official meeting of the Chickpea Lovers Club. Right now we just have two members – Rose and me 🙂 So, Rose and I got together to talk about chickpeas, hummus, garbanzo beans, etc. It was great. Okay, the truth is Rose and I got together for dinner tonight. I contacted her the longest time ago with…

PB on My Cereal
Good Morning friends! It is hump day, how are you hanging in there? This week has been a little tough for me with changing my schedule to getting up an hour earlier and being homesick.

Save the best for last
Today I was thinking about why I always eat snacks after dinner. It is a habit I’ve be writing about since I started the blog, yet I’ve made no progress on! So why am I still doing it? I think there are 2 reasons: 1. The RD said that some of the time it’s because I don’t eat enough during…

AB and J All Day
On my run this morning I was planning what to pack for lunch today and all I wanted was a AB&J sandwich.

Finally Food Inc.

I figured I’d just be preaching to the converted. But one extra insight I had that I think may be different from some others…

My own pizza
Normally at restaurants Ben and I order our own thing (obviously). But, with pizza you kinda have to come to some agreement. This is super hard when you don’t eat meat and your pizza-mate loves things like pepperoni, sausage, extra cheese, and more pepperoni. Sometimes we do half and half, but since he wanted a sub I got my own…
