Wednesday I took a day off to chill and reboot my motivation. Some long overdue downtime. I had the luxury to get in a mid-morning run. Earlier in the week I bought myself an early birthday gift, a running watch . My Nike + has been sucking and is always letting me down. Decided it…

Daydream Believer
This is as close to a Pina Coloda I am gonna get sitting at my desk. I’ll take it though, it adds the 4D element to my daydream… I guess it doesn’t take much when you sit in a 10×10 cubicle all day. Though a touch of rum after hours would be welcome.
TGI Friday Favorites
Last Friday I came home to a box of chocolate care of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program with Ghirardelli Chocolate. Chocolate is a favorite any day of the week. The chocolate was all dark chocolate, their Intense Dark line, each bar had cacao percentages. one variety near and dear to my taste-buds is the Sea Salt…
July Summer Reading
I love summer reading! It reminds me of the summer book reading program we always did at the library when we had nothing but time to read and fill our cards with stickers. I can vividly recall sitting in our quaint local library like it was yesterday. Such a good summer memory that summer always…

{Check it out} Food News
I am sure everyone has seen the new food pyramid by now, which is actually a plate now. A lot of people seem to not be a fan of the change. What do you think? Going 100% organic is hard to do, and expensive too, I like to try and buy organic on the items…
Icelandic is the new Greek.
This yogurt caught my eye at the store last week, I just love the labels. I eat yogurt every week day for breakfast. Chobani has been my brand of choice, pineapple and black cherry are my favorite flavors. I mix in granola and fresh fruit. The kids love peanut butter mixed in too. I decided…
Skewered
Spring cleaning has been on our agenda over the past month. The kitchen was in dire need, especially in organizing the food items in the cabinets. I’ve been trying to work our way through the food we’ve had hanging around for awhile, mostly sauces and marinades. I discovered we had three different flavored skewers. These…
