Unbelievable

I forgot to share this earlier.  Look what I came home to yesterday!   Marinara tofu baked with veggies.  Ummmm…my husband isn’t vegan or vegetarian, but he has been getting awfully friendly with the ‘fu.  I swear I had nothing to do with this dinner.  I was in complete shock when I got home from work and Kyle was digging into a block of tofu!  He was so proud of his creation that he had even taken photos with my camera!    Amazing.  He said there were a few changes he would make (like splitting… Read more >

Day three in Paris started similar to the rest, alarm clocks and coffee shops.  Yes shops, plural. Starbucks has soy milk, so the lactose intolerant people went there.  Paul has buttery pastries, so the dairy consumers went there.

Second breakfast (eaten after grand rounds in the break room) was the last of the leftover chia… Read more >

Readers request: Finding fitness

How to find an exercise/fitness routine that’s right for you? Trial & error is the long (and unfortunately time consuming) answer. I know lots of lifestyle factors and personal preferences come into play here, but more than anything else variety is definitely key in keeping yourself stimulated mentally and physically.  At least that’s my personal work-out philosophy.  Bodies plateau when a fitness routine becomes…well…routine.  So it’s critical to keep your muscles guessing. Another thing to bear in mind, is that our bodies change over the course of our lives.  So what interested and worked for… Read more >
