Tomorrow, I will have completed my 30-day “introduction” to Bikram yoga. Now, more than ever, I’m 100% positive I want to stick with it. There’s just something magical about the hot room. Some people have church…or music…or art…and I now have yoga. [source] Though I’m nowhere near where I want to be, I can already…
Nobody Said It Was Pretty: Almond-Joy “Chocomole”
I know what you’re thinking, so let me just say it: chocolate pudding isn’t attractive in photographs. But, you know what? It’s delicious, so I don’t care. This is only the second time I’ve whipped up a batch of “chocomole,” but I just have a feeling that it will make many appearances in the future….
What I Ate…In Mississippi
It’s already Wednesday, but I’m still feeling the “end of the long weekend blues.” Our visit to Mississippi with Mama and Papa Miele ended far too quickly, but we had a great time. Like an idiot, I took zero pictures of the new house, which, for privacy’s sake, is probably a good thing. We left…
Easy Weeknight Dinner: Veggie & Herb Frittata
I don’t know if it’s because yesterday was National Egg Day (I’m always late on these things—but maybe my subconscious wasn’t), but I’ve been seriously craving eggs since the weekend. What I really wanted was a drippy, yolky egg, but a frittata for dinner was the next best thing. Made from whatever vegetables and herbs…
What I Ate…Before a 4-Day Weekend
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…
