Yes, I am catching up on 2011 still. I enjoyed my Thanksgiving menu SO much that I decided to do it a second time at Thanksgiving, but I would do 2 very important things differently.  First, I would simplify the menu.  Second, I would plan ahead better for leftovers so as to not waste so [...]

I’ve heard over and over that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I have also heard its best to work out in the morning before eating. My current routine is this: 6:15 am – wake up, drink coffee, brush teeth, change into workout clothes, check email, watch the news. 7:15 am – [...]

April Showers

It has been a wintery spring here in the Bay Area. March was one of the rainiest months I’ve seen in years. So far April has been cold, but at least we’ve had lots of sunshine. But did I say its been really cold?! We’ve also had lots of junk food! (Or at least I [...]

March so far
