It’s the first weekend in October—which should be exciting—but the weather is leaving little to be desired. Stupid Tropical Storm Karen! She’s only the second named storm to “threaten” the States this year, and of course she has to fall on the weekend. The weekend when I should be enjoying sunshine, cool(er) breezes, and any…
Fall-Inspired Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie
As a southerner, I don’t think I could live without sweet potatoes. Not only are they delicious—they’re bursting with all sorts of nutrients. Like most orange-hued fruits/vegetables, sweet potatoes are chock-full of beta carotene. They’re also a good source of dietary fiber, protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins A and C, and, surprisingly (to me, anyway), calcium…
WIAW: Eating With Consciousness
Hi, friends! Today is one of my favorite days in the blogosphere—What I Ate Wednesday. Instead of going the traditional route by showing you photos of my recent meals, I’m going deeper by asking: Why do you eat the way you do? It’s not a question I ponder daily, but it is one of the…
Tuesday Thoughts {10.01.13}
1. It’s October!!! The leaves are beginning to fall in our backyard (only they’re not pretty orange-hued leaves like in regions of the country where seasons actually exist), and I’m about to break out the boots regardless of it still being shorts and flip flops weather. 2. Per these 21 Signs Your Addiction to Good…
Sept 30: MIMM + Weekend Highlights
Hello there! Once again it’s Monday—and the end of yet another month. Is it just me, or has this year flown by? It seems like just a few days ago Mark and I were planning our Disney trip, celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary, and sweating away the summer. While it’s still pretty warm, I just…
Pumpkin Chia Pudding
I know, I know. Every blogger is bombarding you with pumpkin recipes since we’ve been experiencing fall for, oh, not even a full week. I promise in the next couple of months I will share comforting, warming, autumn-inspired dishes that feature other ingredients, but since I haven’t done a lot of cooking lately, this pumpkin…
What I Ate Wednesday: When The Sweet Tooth Strikes
Oh, hey there, friends! We’re already half-way through the work week, which means it’s time for another What I Ate Wednesday. Once again, I’m being unconventional (no single full day of meals to share)—but you can blame my wonky appetite for that. I’ve been neglecting the veggies and satisfying a mega sweet tooth the last…
Tuesday Thoughts {09.24.13}
1. As of Sunday, it’s officially FALL!!! If I were creative enough, I would’ve posted a delicious autumn-inspired recipe, but I’m not, so I sipped a Sam Adams Oktoberfest and O’Fallen Pumpkin Beer instead. Welcome, fall. 🙂 2. Ok, Las Vegas’ Venetian and Paris I understand—and love—but entire communities copied from existing cities? This is so…
WIAW: Nectarine, Goat Cheese, and Honey-Cinnamon Roasted Chickpea Salad
Happy, happy hump day! Since I didn’t photograph many of my meals this week (and don’t want to bore you to death), I’m sharing a simple-but-satisfying recipe that takes advantage of the remnants of summer produce. The idea came to me as I discovered a single nectarine and half a package of goat cheese in…
Tuesday Thoughts {09.17.13}
1. I think the world of True Blood really exists and I am part fae like Sookie Stackhouse (or, I am a vampire who’s drunk on fairy blood). I just can’t get enough sunshine lately! After I eat my lunch, I practically race to the gate so I can spend some time outside, and I…
