I’m keeping this intro short, because right now I’m enjoying some quality family time in Mississippi with the in-laws (and doggies-in-law). Hope everybody is having a magnificent Sunday. I hope you all have a safe and happy Memorial Day, and let’s remember those who have served and sacrificed their lives. .Recipes. Almond Torte Mascarpone Ice…

All About Hydration
It wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized the importance of hydration. My love affair with water began as a way to limit my “boredom snacking” at work; stuck at my computer, I’d always get a hankering for chips, sweets, and less healthy foods. To help keep my stomach full, I kept refillable…
Almond Butter, Oat, & Chocolate Chip Snack Bites + WIAW
I have to apologize to you again. (This seems to have become a habit for me.) All of the recipes I’ve come up with recently are for sweets/desserts. We’ve been cooking a lot of our old stand-by meals lately, and when I say “we,” I really mean “Mark.” I’ve mentioned before that my pregnancy sweet…
For Two Fitness
You all may not have noticed, but if you have a really keen eye, you might have spotted a brand new badge on my side bar. That’s right—I was recently selected to be a For Two Fitness Ambassador! I’m extremely excited to help promote and represent this fantastic brand. If you’re unfamiliar, For Two Fitness…
Meal Plan Monday 05.19.14
Happy Monday! I feel that referring to today as “happy” is perfectly acceptable since next Monday is Memorial Day and most of us have a 3-day weekend awaiting us. It’s been a few weeks since I shared my last weekly meal plan, so I thought I’d pop in today with some of the dinners we…
Weekly Links 05.18.14
Why, oh why, is the weekend over already? Here on the Gulf Coast, we couldn’t have asked for more beautiful weather! Although quite warm, it was sunny and breezy, perfect for completing the NAMI Walk through campus Saturday morning. Iggy completed the entire 3.1 miles—quite impressive for a miniature dachshund (Although he did tear up…
Thinking Out Loud 05.15.14
Happy Thinking Out Loud Thursday! No attempts at witty lead-ins today, I’m just getting right down to the randomness… 1. I’m being crazy ambitious today and posting twice. Well, if you want to get technical, then this morning’s recipe post was actually posted last night and scheduled for today, but you know what I mean……
Mint-Chocolate Matcha Chia Pudding
As difficult as it’s been, I’ve been trying to lay off the sweets during my pregnancy. Says the woman who bought cinnamon rolls and 2 slices of cake at the grocery last weekend! I’ve always had a pretty big sweet tooth, but I’ve become pretty good about keeping healthier sweets on-hand (such as these or…
WIAW: Foods That Have Surprised Me
Is it Wednesday already? Although my work days have seemed long (especially the afternoons), the week itself seems to be flying by. I’m not complaining! Since I only photographed a few random meals this week, I figured I’d come up with some sort of theme for today’s What I Ate Wednesday party. I’ve mentioned this…
Virgin Mango Lime Margaritas
Even if I weren’t pregnant—and even if I could consume all the frozen margaritas I desired—I’d be lying if I acted like Cinco de Mayo (or any Mexican dinner night) wasn’t about the glorious, flavorful food. This pregnant, food-obsessed woman can’t wait to bite into a crunchy taco shell and slather homemade guacamole (with extra…
