I was experiencing some major flashbacks tonight! For the past hour I’ve been reading some of my old blog entries. I started at the very beginning (October 15, 2008) and went up through when Christmas decorations were starting to pop up and it was finally starting to get cool in Florida. So much fun and…

Coffee Date
I just got back from the most lovely afternoon coffee date with a sweet friend I haven’t seen in years! I was in a rush for lunch so I just munched on a Tropical Fruit Tart Larabar and a gala apple. Danielle met me over at my apartment (technically the first friend to see our…
What Do You Get at Starbucks?
Good morning world! Happy Friday! Breakfast this morning was a repeat of yesterday’s – flax flakes, Berry Almond Granola and soymilk. This was actually a silly breakfast, because I was in a baking mood last night and actually made some healthy carrot muffins last night for breakfasts and such. When am I not in a…
Shepherd’s Pie – Plant Style
I got super hungry this afternoon so I had a quick snack of flax flakes and soymilk. Dinner tonight was a vegan shepherd’s pie. Instead of the traditional ground meat layer, I used a can of kidney beans dusted in whole wheat flour, a splash of soymilk, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt and a touch…
Good Girl’s Taco Bell
I have a weird thing for bananas (TWSS). In all seriousness I just don’t like plain bananas. They have to be frozen or in banana bread. So this morning I snacked a banana that I sliced and froze (and yes they’re on a Christmas snowman/ snowflake plate, no shame). I started out this morning doing…
Dream a Little Dream With Me
Good morning friends! No post last night – I got caught up in working on the new site and totally lost track of time! Breakfast this morning was delicious, and I definitely implemented one of those little tricks to assist with portion control. Obviously, measuring out portions is the first step. But remember that bowl…
Some Days You Need a Good Laugh
Today has just been one of those days – frustrated, a tad down, in need of dreams and ambitions, and just generally needing a positive change in my life. I’ve found the best cure for days like this: laughing at the expense of others. Just a few videos that fit bill: I have no idea…
Noche Cubana!
Soon after lunch I decided I was feeling something sweet, so I went for a beautifully ripe Bartlett pear. Later I snacked on some of my Berry Almond Granola with light vanilla soymilk. This afternoon at the gym I did 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by abs and arms strength exercises at home. A…
Thoughts on Cravings
Instead of boring you all with a lunch exactly the same as last night’s salad I changed it up by rolling it up. La Tortilla Factory tortilla, nonfat refried beans, lettuce, salsa and 1/8 avocado. All rolled up! I saw this interesting article on cravings. Basically, research is up in the air on whether there…
Berry Almond Granola
Breakfast this morning was another meal I’ve seen floating around on some blogs: Smoothie in a Bowl! I took my leftover smoothie from lunch yesterday (soymilk, spinach, frozen mango, flax, ice, splash of OJ) and threw it in a bowl. On top I added 1/4 cup of an easy granola I made last night. Berry…
