Today I realized how little fitness talk I’ve shared around these parts. Yes, foodiEcology is primarily a food blog (it’s in the name—hello?), but blogging is also a way to hold myself accountable to a fitness routine. I’ve met a couple of my exercise-related goals on my 30 Before 30 list (trying a yoga class…

What I’ve Been Reading Wednesday
Some days I just don’t feel like embracing my inner food voyeur by sharing what I’ve eaten recently (it gets kind of boring since I eat a lot of the same things week to week, not to mention my appetite today was all but nonexistent). Even so, I do enjoy participating in the lovely Jen’s…
Beer, Sunshine, Gators, and Frittatas…
Mondays never cease to creep up, do they? At least today—and the preceding weekend—was a pretty marvelous one. Saturday I decided to sleep in (well, try to—my body just couldn’t lie in bed past 8:00 or so) and skip yoga. I did spend some quality time cuddling in the chair with Iggy, so it was…
Lentil & Quinoa Salad With Grapes, Cucumber, and Hazelnuts
Some foods and flavors are obvious matches: peanut butter and jelly (though I will admit I didn’t enjoy that combination until recently), French fries and ketchup, cookies and cream, etc. Other pairings are strange on the surface, however, but work just as magically as “the classics.” I’m talking about avocado and chocolate (like in this…
I’m Coco Loco: A Review of COCOZIA® Organic Coconut Water
Lately I’ve become addicted to all things coconut. You might even say I’ve gone coco loco! I love putting unsweetened coconut flakes in my yogurt bowls and snack bites, and melted coconut butter on top of a sweet potato becomes the most decadent side dish. Ever since reading about how a flame retardant—brominated vegetable oil—is…
WIAW + Grocery Budget Adventures
If you recall the week before last’s WIAW, you’ll know we’re attempting to cut back on our grocery spending. Well, this weekend’s haul was a pricy one (though it did include dog food for Iggy, toilet paper, and several bottles of wine—none of which are weekly purchases), but we did make some reasonable choices I…
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bites
Growing up, I was a chocolate chip girl. Shortbread, the Plain Jane that it is, wasn’t even worthy of calling itself a cookie. Snickerdoodles, though a fun word to say, were missing pizzazz. Peanut butter cookies, with their back-of-fork indentations, were pretty stellar (I mean, peanut butter was basically the only sandwich topping I ate…
What I’ve Been Eating Lately {WIAW}
Far too often, I fall into a food rut. Meals haven’t been extremely exciting around here, and we always tend to eat the same things, week after week. Sometimes, though, eating similar meals week after week (or even day after day) is a welcome “problem.” For this week’s What I Ate Wednesday, I’m sharing some…
Rosie’s Grill Review
In an effort to try something new this past Saturday, we decided to give Rosie’s Grill in Daphne a go. We’ve passed by many times, and I’ve heard from a few friends that the food is good. For whatever reason (location, maybe, since it sits off the street in a strip mall), it always slipped…
Healthy Brownie Bites
Apart from my slow-cooker jambalaya, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a legitimate recipe. While these Healthy Brownie Bites are hardly complicated enough to fit that category, I have to share something with you all! Maybe it’s that high metabolism of mine, but having healthy snacks on hand is necessary for my—and my peers’—survival….
