These are the product of an extreme baking binge a few weeks ago. The only reason I held off in sharing them was because I hadn’t tried them (and therefore didn’t know how they’d turned out). If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you know I’m not one to practice self restraint, so allow me to clarify why I waited a week to try my own baking… I had three other treats (maple oat muffins, banana bread and chocolate chip cookies) already filling my daily sweet quota. And since each was… Read more >

Back when I got this shipment of goodies from Pure Market Express, I knew the raw cinnamon rolls would be the item that I’d save for last. Ask Kyle how I feel about cinnamon rolls. He’ll confirm that I dream about them night and day. Not only have I made them multiple times in the past two months, but I hunt them down. If we are even remotely near a bakery, you better believe I get my a$$ a gooey roll (maybe two? and a third for the road?). So it’s a full blown obsession. … Read more >

I probably make or pack Kyle’s lunches 75% of the time. He only eats on campus a few days a week and every once in a while it aligns with my work days. Which means… I can pack both of our food the night before and kill two birds with one stone. His differ in that they often have cheese and packaged health bars, but otherwise they are very similar. I made his salad with spinach, tomatoes, falafel, sunflower seeds, and parmesan. While mine had quinoa instead of cheese. My breakfast… Read more >

Dr. Oz was on the Today show a (few?) weeks ago and he was talking about the 5 habits of “healthy” people. 1. Eat breakfast every day – I’m surprisingly bad at this. I always eat breakfast on work days, but on my days off, I am slow starting. I don’t wake up hungry, so rather than eat first thing, I wait ‘til my body wants something. Typically it’s coffee first and foremost. 2. Exercise – well duh, we all saw that one from a mile away. 3. Sex life – since my parents and… Read more >

Laziness continued. Coffee. Coffee. Fruit. Coffee. A perfect Sunday morning (“morning” being used loosely since I slept in a LOT). Random fact: I really love fruit salad but I never make it because I like it when it’s already at least a day old. That means I have to plan ahead so I get the exact level of oxidized fruit. I also think that bananas are the essence of any good fruit salad. That’s why I made this salad the night before. It had apples, strawberries, pineapple, blackberries, and bananas. If it… Read more >
