The reason I adore burgers has never been the meat, even when I did eat meat. Back then, the smaller the patty, the better, so I could pile more condiments on top. Getting too much ground beef in one bite was not a good thing for me… I think I was always destined to be vegetarian! …
Happy Friday, folks! It’s been awhile since I posted a workout for you, and this one’s a keeper… I don’t normally get sore from my bootcamp workouts anymore, but I did from this one. Maybe it was the workout… or maybe the 2-week Christmas break??? But whatever! I intentionally paired up 2 exercises that fatigue …
I love days like today… one of planning, preparing, and doing… one of feeling ahead and not behind… of being proactive and not reactive. This doesn’t happen often! But I’m hoping it happens more, because one of my goals for 2016 is planning more planning days. Today started with the green smoothie like always, along …
It’s January, the supposed “cool” season here in Philippines. I say “supposed” because it’s actually not so cool this year… what’s up with that?? My family can attest that I easily feel cheated with the weather, most often in the circumstance of it being too hot when I’m expecting cold… or at least cool. But …
Don’t let my kids hear me say this, but after the holidays, I always look forward to getting back to “the routine”… Call me crazy, but I love routines… getting up early, exercising, making that same green smoothie, having regular down time… I find my predictable schedule both soothing & satisfying. (The kids & I took …
Happy New Year, everyone!! It’s January, and that means it’s obviously time to detox, right?? What’s the latest in cucumber water/detox soup/dandelion juice, anyway? I’m not sure… because I don’t detox. Why? Two reasons: One: my basic food philosophy is to nourish yourself “well” all the time. By that I mean eating enough calories, not skipping meals, not …
Hello friends! I have to admit I feel kind of weird writing a “Year in Review” post, given my baby blog wasn’t born until nearly halfway through the year! But I have to give credit to all the exciting things that have happened in my little corner of this crazy online world, so let’s take a …
Happy Monday post-Christmas, friends! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas full of love and family and wonderful food. I know that after a couple of days of indulgence in heavier-than-normal treats, I’m really craving getting back to my regular routine of green smoothies and salads. How about you? I made up this …
Hello lovely readers! It’s “Christmas Eve Eve” and amazingly, I’m not up to my eyeballs in wrapping paper and last-minute cookie baking. Maybe that will be tomorrow… But today, I have a quiet moment and I want to just reflect on these last 8 months of blogging and say a big THANK YOU!!! I had no …
Hello friends! We’re getting down to the wire before Christmas… only 4 more days!! Do you have your holiday menus planned out? If not (or even if you do!,) think about adding this gorgeous fresh cranberry orange relish to your table. I’m not too traditional about our holiday meals. I do something different every year depending …
