I think I could live off of eating sandwiches every single day for the rest of my life. Granted, my body does not respond well to the amount of sourdough bread that I like to eat, but I can still live in my sandwich dream heaven can’t I? The problem is, deli meat is 1. expensive and 2. usually full of a ton of additives that make it less like deli meat and more like a science experiment. A few…
This morning I woke up and went to the gym. And I loved it. Are you shocked? If you’ve followed this blog from the beginning then you know that I profoundly dislike the gym. Or, at least I used to. If you are a new reader, click here and catch up on some of my old feelings about exercise. It will help you realize the huge revelation I have come to in the last few months. You see, I used…
Sometimes, when I’m on a diet, I like to close my eyes when I’m eating something and pretend it’s something I would rather have. But other times, I find or create a recipe that makes me wonder why I haven’t eaten this way all along. This, is one of those recipes. Through this round of The Whole30, I have found a new love for sweet potatoes. I used to think that the only way to eat them was baked..until they…
I’m now two weeks into The Whole30 for the second time in my life and I was thinking about what I learned from the last time I did this that helped the transition easier this time. And I said easier, not that this was easy. Many of you may be yawning, wishing this blog post was about Mack and one of her epic meltdowns, but I figured I am not the only one who has struggled with this and that…
It’s that time again. Most people shed pounds for a summer bod…I like to indulge in all that summer and its fantastic BBQ’s have to offer. But alas, I am not getting any younger so I am headed back to the land of healthy eating. And not just healthy, but clean eating. Because while my tastebuds love everything that resembles a carb, my body, not so much. A few bites of bread or sugar and I balloon out like I’m…
One time I went to a Jack in the Box in Anaheim and they had a ranch dressing dispenser. Yes. You heard me correctly. In my sheisty town you have to pay 50 cents after two microscopic packages of ranch. But here? Here you had access to a free flowing lava of ranch, perfect for two monster tacos and a large curly fry. At this point you have either 1. Read enough of my blog posts to chuckle at my…
It’s almost Monday, so if you follow my blog, you know what that means! Back to the gym and a new diet! Well, not necessarily a diet, but back to low carbin’ it. While my taste buds love white flour, sugar, and all things on the carbohydrate level of the food pyramid, my body does NOT. I’ve been asked twice in my life when I was “due” when I certainly was in no way pregnant. I attribute those embarrassing moments…
It’s summmmmmaaaaa time! Can you guess what my favorite part about summer is? If you’re thinking super cute bikinis, hot days in cutoff shorts, tanning by the pool, and cocktails on the beach. You’re wrong. Except for maybe that last one. While I do love summer, I in no way want a swimsuit within 100 yards of me. Wearing cutoff shorts gives me a rash on my thighs from them rubbing together when I walk. And while I get tan…
I’ve never actually ordered huevos rancheros, but I’ve seen it on many breakfasts menus and well…we know how me and recipes get along. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I could literally eat it at 8 am, noon, or 2 am. No pancakes or french toast here, my breakfasts are HEARTY. You know, just like me? My recipe may in no way shape or form resemble actual hues rancheros…but that’s what we call it in our house. …
Recently, one of my closest friends from college asked if she could hire me to cook for her sister’s bachelorette party weekend. Now, before you say anything…remember a few of the things you have learned about me thus far on our little “getting to know you” journey through this blog. 1. I love food 2. I obviously love a good time 3. I’d rather lounge by a pool than lunge in the gym 4. I actually enjoy cooking 5. I…
