I love Wednesdays. First of all, my kids have “late start” at school, so while they sleep in, I get to enjoy my coffee & reading/prayer time a bit longer. Sometimes I wish I could sleep in, but usually I just relish the extra minutes. Another good thing about waking up early is that it …
Everybody hold onto your hats… I’M GIVING YOU TWO DESSERTS IN A ROW!!! What is this world coming to??? If you take a look at my Recipe Index, you can clearly see that I’m due to give you either a salad or a soup next. Those poor slots have only one lonely post each… oh, …

It’s autumn in the U.S., and zucchini abounds in gardens, grocery stores, and recipes… especially snack recipes: zucchini bread, cake, muffins, fritters… the list goes on and on. But here in Philippines, it’s just typhoon season, and zucchinis are imported and expensive. So we’re gonna have to make our snack food out of something else. Enter …
I woke up at 2:37 this morning… hungry. Why??? I ate what I considered an almost-literal ton of food yesterday. Take a look! Breakfast #1 was the typical high-carb, pre-workout meal, 1 1/2 hours before my two bootcamp sessions: my usual green smoothie, puffed kamut with a little sprinkle of muesli, chopped apple, and soy …
As everyone was packing up to leave after a rather intense bootcamp today, I asked the two remaining ladies, “If I were to blog about today’s workout, what type of picture would sum it up?

Happy Saturday, folks! I realize I’ve gone on and on about “my favourite green smoothie” without ever telling you either why I drink it, or how to make it. And that’s just wrong!! I jumped on the green smoothie train about a year ago, late as usual… But I like to think I’ve made up in green …
Some days are hungrier than others… and yesterday was one of those days. Breakfast #1 was my favourite green smoothie (spinach, cucumbers, fresh mint, homemade almond milk, & frozen pineapple) plus a peanut butter banana almond meal muffin. I made these from the almond pulp leftover from …
Do you ever feel behind the 8-ball? Now that I have a teenager and 2 other middle schoolers in my house, I do… on a daily basis. Up until about a year ago, I thought I was pretty cool and up-to-date. Now, I find out that “cool” isn’t even a cool word! “Nobody uses that anymore!,” …
It’s back to school time! We wave our children goodbye at 6:25 am, the day stretching out in front of us… Shops here in Manila typically don’t open until 11… what to do… what to do??? Yes, yes, yes, going back to bed is an option, but by the time I’ve had coffee (and I need it at …
Sometimes, accidents happen. But if you get really lucky, something good will come out out of it. And according to my Pa, I’m one of the luckiest people he knows, so there you go. The other day, shortly after I returned from home leave, I was in the kitchen making dinner. I had a brilliant …
