Change For The Better: Microwaves

December 14, 2010

I grew up in a microwave dependent household. We used the microwave on a daily basis to heat frozen bagels and canned soup or to reheat coffee and chocolate chip cookies. My mother even had a microwave cookbook from the 1970’s that included recipes for everything from cheesy dips to whole chickens (gross!). When I […]

Sunday evening 12 bloggers traveled from the outskirts of Charlotte and beyond to meet at The Cowfish for a blogger meet-up and holiday gift exchange. Ok, I only drove 10 minutes and felt very guilty after hearing that others drove 1.5 hours! They deserved a free dessert or something. Before I get into the food, […]

This weekend was packed with non-stop holiday fun and I’ve been doing my best to stick to my December goals. Actually, that is a total lie. The only goals I have been working on are: 1. saying yes to holiday events and 2.not being cheap. The goals related to health, wellbeing, and moderation…well, there’s always […]

If you’re like me and work in an office, you can probably relate to the nuisance that is preparing healthful lunches for everyday of the week.

As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been watching season 1 of Gossip Girl. I’m terribly behind the times and only now am coming to realize the greatness that is Gossip Girl. But I can assure you, I have realized the greatness and it’s beginning to take over my life. I feel an obsession coming on. It […]

There are not words to describe my love for nut butters. It’s actually embarrassing how little self-control I have when a jar of nut butter is in my presence—it’s a very fatal attraction. At least I came by my nut butter addiction honestly. Growing up I saw my mother eat straight from the peanut butter […]

Resilience was yesterday’s theme, but I didn’t realize it until writing this post. If you stop and think, it’s amazing the things we put our bodies, minds, and souls through every single day. Unless you live a charmed life, you’ve probably experienced trauma, big or small, and it likely impacts you on some level daily. […]

A Day Late

And a dollar short. Actually several dollars short, but I’m trying not to think about it. Today rounded out my week and although I only worked 3 days, it seemed much longer. I attribute it to PMS which also stole my energy and motivation all week. It’s so frustrating to have a week like this […]
