Finding Radiance

If you missed the other parts of my fun weekend, here is part 1 and part 2. Sunday’s class was my favorite!  Of course because it is food related, right? Now there are 2 types of dutch ovens, the indoor ones with the smooth bottom and the outdoor ones with the little feet and lipped [...]

Happy Hump Day!  Or as we call it around here – Bagel Day!  I headed out to the gym this morning for a good run session.  I did 4 miles at 5.5 mph.  It went by pretty quickly.  Then I picked John up and we headed out to Orange Cat for breakfast.  I wanted to [...]

I wanted to talk a little bit about my food philosophy now. I do blog about food a lot and thought I would share what drives what I eat and how I view it. 1. First and foremost, I have to like the food I am eating and that food has to be good. If [...]

The mashed potatoes on top were made with chicken broth instead of milk and no butter. I did add one egg yolk to help the potatoes brown under the broiler. Very good – and [...]

I tried greek style yogurt today. It was soooo good! Better tasting, creamier, fluffier than regular yogurt.For breakfast I ate: 1/2 cup Fage 2% plain mixed with 1 tsp of cinnamon honey.Stirred in 1 cup of chopped strawberries and 1/2 cup of Organic hemp granola (Nature’s Path). (aprox a 260 calorie breakfast) I think I [...]
