1. I’ve lied yet again. I promised a return to blogging, and I haven’t exactly delivered. At least I’m joining the lovely Amanda’s link-up today, right? Seriously, though, blogging is often incredibly therapeutic for me, and other times, it’s a fun challenge. But the last few weeks, it’s just been the last thing on my…

Hey, remember me? I’m Catherine. I like food and fitness—and writing about them. I had no intention of taking a nearly 2-week “blog-cation,” but that’s what happened.

This list, however, includes kitchen/foodie gadgets as well—because, as a healthy living blogger, I enjoy both eating and exercising! If you don’t want…

1. Is it just me, or has this week been crawling at a snail’s pace? Maybe it’s because I’ve had to work 5 days in a row after only working Monday and Friday of last week (due to snowpocalypse), but I’m dying for the weekend to get here! 2. Or maybe the slow pace of…
"Good" vs. "Bad" Food: Is there (and should there be) a distinction?
Whether you contribute to the healthy living community or just peruse your blog feed from time to time, chances are you’ve heard—and formulated your own—arguments regarding so-called “good” and “bad” foods. [source] Admittedly, I’m guilty of (silently) passing judgment on my coworkers who eat frozen, microwaveable meals every day at work while I munch on…

Hello there! 🙂 After a crazy week of ice storms and working only Monday and Friday, it feels weird that it’s already Sunday and time to prepare for the workweek. This weekend was pretty fun. Friday night we tried a new-to-us Mexican restaurant; it was ok, but nothing special (and the margaritas were strong!), so…
