So, I had heard about these Joe Joe cookies from Trader Joes and was told they were they best! Oh, sure, what-ev.  Well, I picked some up at Christmas time and had no idea that I had made a mistake when I didn’t buy a case! I cannot begin to explain how much I adore [...]

You betcha! Why can’t I enjoy the great taste of falafel with a healthy spin?

My goodness! What is with the headaches! I had another headache today.  I was thinking I didn’t feel like a workout again.  Then I was thinking how irritating that would be to not workout for a third day straight, all because of a headache. So, I pulled through and did Jackie’s workout.  Thank goodness I [...]

I just made Katie’s chocolate chip cookie dough babies, and I almost fell over.
