Today is a combination of both my favorite days: Wednesday and Friday. Mark and I took off work tomorrow and Friday in order to visit the in-laws and help them move into their new house. I’m super excited to get away, but since we’re not going to be home a few days, my What I…

Trying New Things: Roasted Jicama Fries
One of my 30 Before 30 goals is to try at least 3 new foods. Though I’m usually game for culinary adventure, Mark and I tend to stick to old favorites when we cook or dine out. Though its seafood, barbecue, and desserts are dear to my heart, Mobile, Alabama is not an obscure foods…
Seasonal Strawberry, Avocado & Mint Smoothie
One of my absolute favorite things about Spring and Summer is the abundance of fresh produce. Though I haven’t met a fruit I didn’t like, strawberries will always be at the top of my list. Nothing beats a freshly-picked, juicy, and sweet strawberry, especially if it’s locally grown in Baldwin County, AL or in Ponchatoula,…
Memorial Day
Happy Memorial day, especially to those who have served and sacrificed! It feels great to have a 3-day weekend…and to have a 4-days off the following weekend when we go visit the in-laws in their new home. Saturday began with Bikram, much like last week, and later in the day we went over to my…
Yoga + Sunshine = Marvelous!
Happy Monday! This weekend was full of relaxation and good food—but like most weekends, it went by much too quickly! My Saturday began bright and early with an 8:00 Bikram yoga session. I think it’s safe to say that I’m obsessed at this point, but having spent 90 minutes balancing and centering myself all before…
Eating Intuitively
Intuitive Eating is often discussed within the healthy living blog community, but what does it really mean? Is it something to which we should all strive—or is it yet another slippery slope into the world of disordered eating habits? [source] In my opinion, eating intuitively is actually pretty simple—since it literally means eating without conscious…
Surviving the Torture Chamber
A little scared of this post’s title? You should be. As of Monday night, I’ve survived 2 Bikram yoga classes! Oh. My. God. I knew it was going to be intense, but I had no idea I would leave feeling as if I’d been mugged, beaten, run-over, and dragged down the street…and ready to do…
Virtual Vegan Potluck: Almost-Raw Banoffee Pie Bites
As a lover of bananas and all things British, you’d better believe I adore banoffee pie. Oddly enough, I never did taste it while I studied in London (8 years ago!). Since then, however, I have sampled this delectable dessert in my own kitchen. Because today’s Virtual Vegan Potluck is a celebration of the vegan…
#27: A Winning What I Ate Wednesday
This Wednesday couldn’t be any better culinarily (is that even a word?). I woke up this morning to discover that Alabama is two-thirds of the way to the 21st century after the Legislature passed homebrewing legislation late last night. All it needs is the Governor’s signature. I don’t even care that we’re last in the nation…
Tunnel Vision 5K {MIMM #8}
This past Saturday I (mostly) ran my second 5K—Tunnel Vision—hosted by the Lions Club. It was freezing (for coastal Alabama…in May), but it couldn’t have been a more gorgeous day! We began near the downtown library and ran down Government Street through the tunnel and onto the causeway. Thankfully, I didn’t feel too claustrophobic in…
