Howdy hey! Today revolved around the letter “S”, with a seriously, studiously, snackalicious theme. I’ve noticed that on weekends Ross and I tend to snack our way through the days starting with a light breakfast (like a small mug of flax flake cereal with almond milk for me today) and ending with a lighter dinner….

Perfection in a Day
Saturdays can quite usually be the perfect days. They’re catch up days for everything from rest, errands, school, and life. They’re the perfect excuse to get together with an old friend. They’re perfect for frolicking outside under beautiful skies. They’re perfect for lying in the arms of the one you love. They’re perfect for branching…
Banana Oatmeal Raisin Sugar-Free Cookies
Sugar. Free. Cookies. Yup, I went there. Only in the third day of my sugar-free Lent and I’m already being inspired to create new recipes. Some may think that it’s pointless to give up something if you’re only going to replace it with something else, but the point for me is giving up something (added…
Double X Workouts
In addition to the delicious Hemp Bagels from French Meadow Bakery that I recently tried and reviewed here, I also picked up a loaf of Organic Flax & Sunflower Seed Bread. Ross and I both tried it today. He had two slices in a turkey and swiss sandwich at lunch and he liked it! He…
Pumpkin Parfait
Gooooooddd morning! I slept like a rock last night! I will say this – I think P90X has been ensuring both Ross and I get some solid sleep lately! Breakfast this morning was delicious! (Actually it still is – I’m eating as we speak ). I had a pumpkin parfait, all dressed up in…
Stinkin’ Russian
Got your attention, did I? I don’t have anything against Russia or Russians, promise! We’re watching the Olympic mens skating right now, and I was really disappointed in the former gold medalist’s performance (he’s the Russian), but of course, he has so far blown away the now-second-place skater by 15 points! I loved the kid…
Hemp and Minestrone
Good morning! I’ve been trying to figure out an improved blogging schedule/ approach, so bear with me. When I work late on Monday nights and Thursday nights, it’s not always feasible for me to get a good quality post up, so we’ll see what happens! Last night for dinner we tried a new (to us)…

Dinner, a Movie and Champagne
This afternoon we ended up going to a matinee showing of The Blind Side. I was actually surprised it was still in theaters! I was also surprised that apparently matinee movie times end at 3:00, so we got charged full evening-showing admission price for our 3:45 “matinee”. Absurd! I shouldn’t be surprised though, I know…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you love, hate or could care less about the holiday, I hope you have a wonderful day! The weather is gorgeous in Gainesville today – bright, sunny, blue skies and temps on the cool side. You all know that makes me a happy camper! Before church, I made my tummy a…
