Yesterday was packed full for me—and I knew I needed to be home by around 3:00 so I could make a contribution to dinner (I was in charge of dessert). Kind of a fair trade (for me) … My neighbors (Mom and Fred) made everything else, and I brought wine and dessert. This dessert was …

Last night, I stopped by my friend Carol’s house…it was a last minute get together—I had things scheduled all day, and it just turned out that the timing was right for me to run over there and catch up with two of my favorite people. Carol always makes the most amazing food—and I just sit …

Monday was taco salad night over here. Since I don’t eat grains anymore, I skip the chips and just use crunchy lettuce. I know, to chip-eaters, that probably does not sound like a good trade, but I swear it works. I also sub in greek yogurt for sour cream, and I make my own taco …
I finally did something new in the kitchen today. With traveling, work, and my lack of managing my stress lately, I haven’t had the time or the creative mind to do anything new (or much of anything at all) in the kitchen. Today, I did this. Mini Peanut Butter Cheesecakes with Chocolate/Espresso Crumble Step 1: …

There have been times in my life, like now, when no matter what time I go to sleep, I always wake up super early in the morning. Waking up at 3am is not desirable for me–and I’m guessing it’s not for most other people either! When this happens, I don’t really feel tired, and I …

I got up at 4:30 today to go and work out…and although it was not difficult to do that at the time, it caught up with me later in the afternoon.The upside to getting up that early is that my workout was done and I had been to the grocery store by 7:15. I decided …
As a part of my quest to feed my mitochondria, I committed to adding beef liver to my diet. It definitely took me a while to make this happen, but I had ordered some from Tropical Traditions a few months ago and left it in my freezer for a day when I figured out what …

I had a really busy weekend, and just have a couple things to share with you. I worked out several times, and am currently icing my achilles. I don’t know, maybe I jumped over/on too many tractor tires with my trainer this morning, but he didn’t seem to think so! On Friday night, I met …

I mentioned it before, but I really didn’t eat anything out of the ordinary while I was in Cali. I was really impressed by the healthy choices that were available…everywhere. I didn’t, however, stick to the Feed My Mitochondria plan (I mean, I could have had some seaweed but I’m not so sure it would …

I’m almost at a loss for something to post today. I’m trying to get back into the swing of things (and am almost caught up now). I went to work out with my new trainer today—it was hard, but satisfying. He had me do: jump rope box step-ups (with knee up) beat the tractor tire …
