Biz’s Quiche and a New Challenge

I LOVE quiche – it’s one of my favorite things to eat because it’s SO easy and relatively cheap to make.  Plus it’s very easy to make healthy!  I decided to try Biz’s Crustless Broccoli Spinach Quiche that I saw on her blog a couple of weeks ago. Biz, this was wonderful!  I omitted the [...]

Chicken Cacciatore and Mama Got Some New Shoes!

*Don’t forget to check out my Oikos Greek Yogurt Giveaway that ends Saturday, the 27th, at 9 p.m.! I’m all for quick, easy slow-cooker recipes these days! I’ve never made Chicken Cacciatore, but tried it when I saw this recipe. Easy enough. Eh. This was honestly just okay. I thought about not posting about it [...]

Oikos Giveaway Time!

First of all, I want to thank you ALL for the feedback on heart rate monitors!  I’m definitely going with Polar, but if I do get back to running I’d be interested in a Garmin.  But I’ll cross that bridge when/if I get there.    I will let you know what I decide! I am [...]

Heart Rate Monitor Advice

I think the time has come….I want to get a Heart Rate Monitor! I’ve been taking so many classes, and it’s hard for me to really tell when/if my heart rate is "high" enough.  I don’t want to spend a TON of money (@ $100), but I’d like something that is accurate and will last [...]

Oikos: Take Two

Now, you all know how much I love my Greek yogurt by now! I have it at least once a day – either as an afternoon snack or dessert (with cereal or nut butter – YUM). I tried Oikos awhile back, but it was almost sour to me. I’m not sure if I had a [...]

Black Bean Enchiladas

Always willing to try out a new Enchilada recipe, I took a stab at the Enchiladas posted on Prevention RD’s blog last week.  The only change I made was that I used black beans instead of chicken, and I used regular chili powder instead of chipotle because I’m a wussthat’s all I had. In a [...]

I Would Do Anything For Love

My apologies for being MIA all week!    Things have been extremely crazy lately…more than usual.  I’ve started tutoring two nights a week, I babysit one night a week, and I’ve been trying to go to yoga 2 nights a week as well as everything else going on.  I know it’s crazy, but I’m *that* [...]

Rock Climbing

Wow – I LOVED rock climbing!! It was INTENSE.  First of all, I’m TERRIFIED of heights.  Not that these are huge walls (about 20-25 feet?), but for someone who has a huge fear, it sure seemed high to me once I got up there! I started off on some easy walls and we did those [...]
