Hey guys!  It’s been a while, eh?  I have been behind on posting, but still keeping up with all of you guys as that spooky stalker type who reads but does not comment buahahah!

In keeping with the Halloween theme, my eating patterns this past week have been frightening.  It’s like the ghosts and goblins of the past came back to haunt me and, guys, I need to call the Ghost Busters, ‘cuz if don’t stop quick, I’ll be looking like this guy just in time for tomorrow

Cranky and a little more robust than I’d like…

While I have been stuffing my face with some not-so-good stuff, I’ve also had the chance to make some share-worthy dishes — both featuring a food I often overlook — cabbage! 


Above is tofu cooked via my fave recipe here and mixed with sauteed cabbage, carrots, onion and red and yellow bell pepper.  It was a-mazing!

The above is my tofu stir fry from here, tossed with a salad mix, cranberries and a fat-free balsamic dressing from Trader Joe’s.  I actually like the taste of warm stir fry mixed with room-temp salads and cold dressing.  Weird much?

About cabbage:  “This food is very low in saturated fat and cholesterol. It is also a good source of vitamin A, thiamin, vitamin B6, calcium, iron and magnesium, and a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, folate, potassium and manganese” – Via Nutritiondata here

Halloween Costume Suggestions

This past weekend I had a Halloween party to go to and decided on going through my mom’s stash of vintage clothes to fashion a costume.  I ended up as a 1950s I Love Lucy type, but, stupidly, did not take a full-length picture to showcase the beauty of the dress.  I will have to take a picture of the dress alone to share because it is stunning!  I love that my mom has tons of amazing vintage clothes for me to play dress-up with!   Here’s me with my little navy hat

and with my lovely friend, Foxy Brown

Still in need of Halloween costume suggestions?  Here’s a couple just for you!

• Be a Health Blogger – Wear your exercise clothes, bear a protein bar in one hand and a green monster in another.  Be a tad annoying and take pictures of everyone’s food. Tee-hee.
• Be Your Fave Blogger — I’ll leave this one to your imagination but I was giggling thinking about it!   I think I’d pose giving the peace sign if I were this beautiful honey nut or I’d wear a hot ward robe from TJ Maax, pose in lotus posture and hold a jar of p.b. if I were this hot gem. 

Want some tips on how to stick to stay on the health track tomorrow?  See here.
