Hey guys!  Happy Saturday!  There are two things I want to share and, in the spirit of balance, one of them is brain food and the other is food food .  Heads or tails, shall we start with the brain food or tummy food?  *Waits for Whitey the cat to decide but all she [...]

Hi guys!  It’s almost Friday, wahoo!   What’s on the agenda today?  I plan on doing a mini-workout, going to my first day of training for my new job and then meeting some ex-co-workers for a drink (drinks? troughs full of booze? )  What about you?
I sought and received some free samples from [...]

TGIF to all the lovely people behind their computer screens!
Do you guys ever feel like your life needs a little spring cleaning? I have!  I recently quit a job that was making me terribly unhappy. It was a scary decision to make given the instability of the economy and the Mount Everest of our unemployment [...]

I guess the [...]

Hey guys!  Hope I didn’t scare ya away with my video camera debut! But now I know how to work my camera and upload to YouTube
My brain’s off on some deserted Island sipping Pina Coladas, so I am simply going to show two new food concoctions of mine — one an entree, the [...]

Happy Friday, guys!
Whole Foods

First things first — I was charmed by all of you entering the Whole Foods give-away!  It was a chance for me to take my own non-scientific poll on what healthy foods and items you guys are lovin’ and also a way for me to, sneakily, learn about some new blogs out [...]

Hey guys! I hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July!
I was that person yesterday.  You know that person who brings her own food to another person’s BBQ/block party?  I’m sure some people find that super annoying, but I can’t care what other people think about how I take care of my body, ya know?  [...]

Look at this fruit cobbler made for a fit princess:

This weekend I only had time to try one new recipe and I’m stoked that I did!  I tried Chocolate Covered Katie’s Little Vegan Fruit Cobbler and *loved* it.  Here’s the recipe with a few alterations based on preference and what I had on hand:
