I was introduced to quick power workouts back when I worked as a Dietitian in the wellness department of Austin’s transportation company. By working with (and working out with) the personal trainer there, I realized you don’t need to be exercising for over an hour to get a good workout in. A couple times a…
Greek Salad Bites
One of the things I will miss most about moving is our monthly Bunco group. It’s such fun girls night out and so convenient because most of us live on post so we aren’t driving more than a few miles. We each bring a dish to share, booze and a $10 gift to exchange after…
Cheese Glorious Cheese & Meal Planning
Forgive me again for a few quiet weeks of blogging. We just got back from vacation and now our move to Seattle is quickly approaching (about 5 weeks away). I am motivated to get these closets cleaned out ahead of time so that I am not scrambling at the last minute. I also have to…
A Review of Restaurants & Meal Planning
Hello friends, greetings from San Antonio! I had great intentions of using some of my vacation time to blog and cook in my parent’s great kitchen, but it didn’t happen!

Meal Planning
Hope you all had a great weekend. I am a little over a week into my vacation visiting family in Texas. I meant to post this yesterday, but totally forgot as I ran off to Austin to catch up with friends. In addition to my sweet friends, I am loving all the restaurants and food…
Look Again, It’s Gluten Free: Mocha Bread Pudding
I am very lucky that no one in my family has food allergies or intolerances. Even though we eat a little bit of everything, I still like to experiment with recipes because it’s nice to accommodate friends who do have dietary restrictions. When I was asked to create a delicious gluten free recipe to share…
Meal Planning
I am on vacation visiting my family in Texas and I’ve left my husband to fend for himself for over 2 weeks. Terrible, right? Just kidding, I couldn’t do that. I have to admit, when we got married almost 8 yeas ago I could not wait to cook for him and later our growing family….
Brunch Food: Bacon and Potato Egg Frittatas
I used to make these mini egg bites ALL THE TIME. Then I took a long break. This was the first time in almost a year I decided to make them again and went with the bigger muffin size instead of the minis. I also changed up the filling. Usually when I make them to…
February Foodie Penpal Reveal
Did you have a penpal when you were a kid? I remember having one in grade-school and it was always so much fun to receive a letter in the mail…even if it was from a stranger! So when I heard about a foodie penpal exchange, I thought it sounded like a fun idea. Here is…
MapMyFitness Quaker Challenge Update
It’s been about 2 weeks since I posted about my fitness goals and I wanted to check in, share my progress and see how you’ve been doing. My goal was to exercise at least 15 times this month and I’m proud to say that I have accomplished that goal!
