During my cleanse I am realizing some things that I will be changing.  While I can’t see myself completely giving up coffee, sugar and bread (gluten).  I will most certainly be reducing my intake of these food.  While I am giving it my best effort to stick to these dietary exclusions during my cleanse I [...]

To be honest, this is what breakfast usually looks like.  What can I say, I am hooked.  Usually it is regular quinoa though.  The red is fun too, but I think I like the plain better.  Then I mix it with steamed greens or broccoli, nutritional yeast and a tiny bit of tamari. Hey don’t [...]

Growing up, I would always order alfredo sauce pasta when out at an Italian restaurant.  I don’t even want to think about the amount of fat, calories and cholesterol were in those dishes.  As I became more aware of health I stopped ordering it, knowing how guilty I would feel for all the fat I [...]

For me , it easier to take fun photos than it is to write a half way entertaining post to go with them.  What happens is, I end up with way more photos than I ever post.  Then when I sit down to actually write a post, I feel overwhelmed with where to start, or [...]

Well, I tried fixing the mochi a different way today.  Last time I baked it.  Today, I cooked it in a pan on medium heat with a little bit of olive oil.  Let’s just say it was GREAT!  I am officially hooked on mochi. Lunch was a simple stir-fry with my now favorite, mochi.  I [...]

I will start with the fish tacos.  Each time I make fish tacos, I swear it turns out different. This time we thought we would fry the tilapia.  Ehhh, I think I am over tilapia.  The last couple of times I have had it, it seems to have a weird flavor to me.  I think [...]

The last three days went by so fast!  Backtracking to Wednesday, I made the easiest stir-fry ever! I sauteed some broccoli slaw, chopped baby bok choy and yellow bell pepper.  Topped it with some teriyaki grilled tofu and peanut sauce.  The peanut sauce was: 2 tbsp. of peanut butter, 2 tsp. soy sauce, 1 juiced [...]

Best news in a while! I finally geared up and got to the gym yesterday.  I admit, it has been since before Christmas that I was last there. I enjoy my home workouts and feel I get a good workout.  I just think it’s nice to balance the two.  Since it has been about a [...]

What the crapadoo!! Does anyone else get “fire face” when they work out?? I have my whole life.  Sure, it wasn’t as bad when I was in better shape, but it would even then, still get way red! This is a very modest shade of red.  I am not that comfortable yet to reveal my [...]

Where did the month of December go?  No really… I can’t figure that out.  Christmas is seriously next week!!! Gal!  I better get some gift shopping in this weekend. Even today flew by. (like that is any different from any other day) I did make up for that ice cream last night.  I ate very [...]
