back from boston

Well, I have been pretty bad about blogging, that’s a given… I think it is safe to say that I am going to be playing catch up for a few weeks! I have been good about taking photos, but that’s about it. So here goes nothing… Kyle and I were in Boston for the 18th and 19th, which was great. I have never been so I wanted to see it all. The most noteworthy thing for my foodie blog was the dinner we went to on Sat night called Top of the Hub which was… Read more >

day-o-sando(s)

Another day of work. Another home-made sandwich.You know the drill. Subway to work, starbucks run for an AM caffeine dose (grande soy latte), work work work work…Here’s the rest of what I packed for myself. The apple was HUGE which is why I sliced it (to enjoy in multiple sessions). With lunch I had a soy latte and then another refilled cup of plain soymilk. I (again) skipped the gym – this week is just NOT happening in the work out department! Instead, I had some dates and another soy latte on the way home… Read more >

(btw my coffee was starbucks’ blend… Read more >

tropical storm Kyle

Rain. Boo. Good thing I was stocked up with these little silk soy milks šŸ™‚ So I had 2 cups of coffee (basically a latte with the massive amount of vanilla creamer and soy milk I used) to which I added stevia for some sweetening. I also had a soy milk by itself while I watched yesterday’s (2 hour season premiere) episode of Grey’s Anatomy that I had tivo-ed. Here’s my review: HORRIBLE! I couldn’t even finish the episode, it was that bad. Seriously, I can’t even believe how ridiculously awful the show has become…. Read more >

sinus tach!

Ok, first things first – here is a photo of the coconut date rolls I was raving about yesterday. I had 3 last night, and the remaining 3 for dessert tonight (so mentally insert this picture again later after dinner). They are so dense! I have been looking FOREVER for these deliciously sweet snacks. In the past, every time I have seen coconut date rolls there have been almonds in the ingredients (yuck!) which immediately ruins them in my opinion…so I am excited beyond words to have finally discovered this new health food store that… Read more >
