Tonight was another one of those nights…no plans for dinner and then the tummy started rumbling. Almost every Monday night goes this way since the commissary is closed on Mondays and I can’t seem to think two steps ahead on Sunday. Growth rises out of adversity, right? I think so. This recipe is pretty good [...]
In my house, we use the phrase, “feast or famine”. The hubs and I push our bodies pretty hard so in turn we eat…A LOT. If he doesn’t get to the leftovers first, I am going to gobble them up and when he stands in front of the fridge with his head hanging because he [...]
A few months ago, Lauren (computer wiz) told me (not a wiz) about an app for your computer and smartphone called Evernote. I thought it sounded great so I downloaded it and then just left it alone because my eyes crossed when I looked at the screen. And the program just sat and sat until… [...]
There is a never ending supply of claims floating around for various dietary supplements; many of which are just snake oil. If you haven’t heard yet, the benefits of Fish Oil is something you need and it is not very easy to come by. You may have heard the term “essential” in the context of [...]

10 years ago I had a fairly major knee surgery followed by many months of rehab. In one of my post-op appointments with my surgeon, he told me that I would probably never be a runner again due to the high probability of chronic tendonitis. He was right, sort of. The only running I have [...]
I recently ordered a most delicious Eggplant Lasagna in a restaurant. I couldn’t get it out of my mind so I decided to recreate it at home but with a few tweaks that fit my nutrition plan. This recipe uses cottage cheese in place of ricotta cheese. Until recently, I acted like a finicky 3 [...]
Moving forward from doing the Slow Carb Diet, my husband and I have chosen to adopt the Paleo nutritional plan in our lives. There are things that we really like about both plans and things we don’t like so we have created a hybrid we like to call the Slow Paleo. There is a really [...]
On July 11, I made a deal with myself to stick to the slow carb diet for 30 days. On August 9, I decided to extend it for another 30 days. On September 7, I was free of the constraints of the diet, yet I carried on eating the slow carb way. The reason is [...]
