Who doesnt love a great Mexican dish? There is definitely something to be said for piping hot beans, crispy shells, and cold toppings. Since the hubs has taken up residence in Florida I have had the opportunity to explore my vegetarian side a little more. This is something I have always wanted to try but [...]

So after a long day in class I wanted to make a really easy dinner. It doesn’t get much easier than spaghetti and garlic bread. For tonight’s sauce I used 99% fat free ground turkey breast, onions, peppers, carrots, squash, and garlic. I let all of this simmer together while I got in a quick workout [...]

I am pretty sure things with fun or fancy names taste better. For example, I could have called tonight’s dinner open faced egg sandwiches with amaretto berries. Instead, I decided to use the term Croque Madames with boozy berry parfaits. A fun name for a fun (and easy) dinner! The first thing I did is [...]

Seeing that title a person might assume this blog would be about a pizza or burger makeover. However, tonight’s blog is about curbing a craving for salad. Salad? But isn’t salad supposed to be healthy? Of course the answer to that is not simple. Not all salads are created equal. In fact, in some instances [...]

One of the reasons I started this blog last year was to document my relationship with running. I did several 5Ks, trained for a ½ marathon, and had some really great (and really terrible runs/jogs). Somewhere along the way running and I sort of parted ways. Specifically, it was after the Disney Wine and Dine [...]

It started raining last night (which I have to admit was pretty soothing to sleep through) but is showing no signs of letting up. BOO! At least that is why they invented cute Roxy rain boots to keep a girl’s feet toasty and dry. I have big plans to get some new recipes going for [...]

Well friends, I had the best intentions of doing a “how-to” blog of one of my favorite dishes. It turns out that I was elbow deep in roasting red peppers, caramelizing onions, sauteing up Italian turkey sausage, and mixing a balsamic vinegar sauce when I realized I had not taken a single photo!! Here is [...]

When it comes down to the choice of “real” homemade food versus takeout the home cooked nutritious option will win out in my house every single time. Since the hubs expressed a craving for Chinese take out, I decided to cook my own version of Cashew Chicken. We all know I am a huge Rachael [...]

Remember earlier in the summer when I went to celebrate the birthday of one of my best girlfriend’s baby? Today was part II as another great girlfriend had another sweet baby turning one. After my weigh in and run this morning the hubs and I rushed around to get ready for the 2 hour drive [...]

Don’t you just love breakfast for dinner aka Brinner? I do. It’s one of my favorite little occurrences in life (just like spontaneous applause at the movies or hearing people sing in their cars). It just makes you feel good. Tonight I made a most yummy Brinner of scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, whole grain English [...]
