I know I’m not the only blogger out there wishing they were in Fresno, California for the POM Wonderful Harvest Tour. Seriously, how much fun does it sound? I can’t wait to live vicariously through the bloggers there and learn all about one of my favorite fruits – pomegranates! I played out my pomegranate desires…

Chilly Chili and Pumpkin Bread
Thanks for the feedback on my Operation Beautiful note this morning. I’m so glad it reminded some of you the same thing that I reminded myself: we are enough right now. This morning has been so wonderful because the weather is making me all smiles. I have made the executive decision that for today and…
Operation Beautiful Note to Self
Good morning! I decided to branch out from my current pumpkin-obsession with oats this morning. Enter a more sweet and tart variety! In the mix: 1/2 cup oats, rice milk, POM Kiwi juice and water mix 1/4 cup frozen cherries, thawed 1/2 a pear, chopped and warmed dash of cinnamon unsalted, roasted peanuts for garnish…
Homemade Homebody
Hey friends. Today was such a homebody day for the hubs and I. Lots of rest, sweatpants and sweatshirt, windows open, napping, comfort foods…’twas enjoyable. Our chilly morning started with a walk to Publix to pick up some pancake mix. This was the only non-buttermilk/ vegan whole wheat pancake mix we found, so we grabbed…
Classic Date Night
Hey hey peeps! This afternoon was muy lazy, but I capped it off with an awful 30 minute “run” a minute/ walk a minute sesh plus some ab work. It was better than nothing, but dang…this girl needs to stretch more, specifically her calves. I was mostly doing the shuffle tonight, and I ain’t talkin’…
Devil’s Millhopper Geological State Park
With the beautiful fall air making it impossible to do anything besides be outside, Ross and I decided to head over to Devil’s Millhopper Geological State Park which is maybe a quarter-mile from our apartment. With the fun of a “geological state park” and the promise of nature trails, sinkholes to explore and more, we…
Caramel Apple Oats
Happy Saturday! The weather is cool, crisp and delicious this morning! I am absolutely itching to get outside. Hubs and I have a fun outdoor outing planned for today, so we fueled with a very fall-esque breakfast. Caramel Apple Oats. Oh yes, I went there. For 2-3 people: 1 cup each oats, rice milk and…
Friday Night Fail
Have you ever heard the quote, “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans”? Well, I’ve experienced that quote in much larger life circumstances, but I kind of felt like that this afternoon. My plans were to go out for another run/walk interval workout, bake, walk to the grocery store for some…
College Kid’s Bruschetta
Quick, describe your eats in one word. Ready, go! Voluminous. (Well, vegan too, but that’s given). I thought I’d continue my volume eating from this morning over to my lunch. Last night I had a simple dinner of soup and bread. I took the leftover cup of lentil soup but bulked it up with some…
Volume Eating
Do you remember that commercial where a couple finally get into this ritzy gourmet restaurant, only to be served miniscule portions of rich, decadent dishes? They end up running out and crashing a convenience store to wipe them clean of gas station style snacks? It’s a good thing I don’t have a gourmet restaurant kind…
