This year is going to be a little different. May 13th actually falls ON Mothers day. It’s also the date my mother passed, 5 years ago. The positive? I can bang both of these out in one day. No grieving on two separate days. A two for one and I love deals. Oh that day, […]
It’s the worst, isn’t it? Waking up in the middle of the night, heart pounding, mind racing, eyes wide open? Feeling like there is no possibility of falling back to sleep. Counting how many hours a until the alarm is set to go off. Noticing how many minutes you’ve been tossing and turning. Getting aggravated, […]
Each time I come to New York I’m reminded of my 21 year old self; Starting my first job, which happened to be a dream job at the time, in the heart of Manhattan with only a few days of legal drinking under my belt. I was so green and so wowed by the opportunity. […]
Nutrition – I don’t even like using this word anymore because it’s so dang serious. And you can just forget about the word “diet” because that just screams restriction, even if it simply refers to the food you eat. When did we start wigging out about what we eat?

Why do I love a overnight oats? It satisfies my morning sweet tooth, it’s portable, and it’s basically a make ahead superstar. You really can’t do them wrong, but you can do them really right if you follow a good recipe. I’ve been whipping them together on and off for a few years, and I’ve […]
March 1 2018 will mark 1 year of sobriety for me, a former blanco tequila aficionado. Who dis? It was February when and for a number of reasons I won’t get into here, but maybe I should get into here, Joel and I decided we would try giving up alcohol for lent, which began on […]
I fly alot. And there are not many things worse than being on a plane and feeling bloated and full because I ate something I shouldn’t have. So as much as I am a proponent for not sweating the small stuff when it comes to eating something less than nutritious ( aka “bad”),I also am […]
Talk about Mmmm Mmmmm Good – this was the absolute best roasted chicken I’ve ever made. The skin was crispy, and the meat was cooked to perfection. Joel and I have been working at making sure we get the best quality available with our meats – in this case we got a pasture raised chicken […]
I’ve had the idea of preparation on my mind over the past year or so. Preparation is a part of my life in so many ways, from food prep, to working out, to my work life and work travel, to budgeting, to taking care of our dogs, to planning meals for the week. It is […]
