We had a birthday celebration in our office yesterday – I ended up bringing in Chobani, my homemade copycat Nature Valley granola bars, fresh raspberries and a strawberry sauce.   The strawberry sauce couldn’t be simpler. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:52] Since I made this before work and it was still hot, I ended up putting it in the freezer while I finished getting ready for work, and it cooled...

I am so happy I am back to strength training!  I am loving week one so far – and have to tell you, other than my little mishap on the assisted chin up routine, I’ve been able to do all the workouts, and surprisingly I am not as sore as I have been before getting back to strength training – who knew?! I was a...

This is the last installment of my trip to Texas last week!  It’s been nice sharing my trip with you this week, so thank for coming along for the ride! Last Friday morning we had a buffet breakfast.  Holy balls – so much to choose from!  French toast, cinnamon rolls, bacon, eggs – even a make your own Belgian waffle station!  In the end, once...

Last Thursday night was our nice dinner at the hotel restaurant.  Guess what?  I actually wore a skirt!  I know, crazeballs.  Sadly, no picture I took turned out so you’ll just have to trust me on that!  I did wear my hair down and put makeup on though!  I am really contemplating getting my hair cut chin length again – its really starting to get...

The second part of our trip last we went to Matador Ranch – which is about two hours from the border of Oklahoma.  This ranch was founded in 1882 by five Scotsman who bought 1.5 MILLION acres of land.  In the 1950’s,  Fred C. Koch, co-founder of what has now become Koch Industries, Inc., formed Matador Cattle Company.   The ranch has award-winning livestock, including Akaushi...

Last Thursday was the busy day of our whole event.  The morning started out with a bus ride to the Hale Center Feed Yard.  We were greeted at the bus with cowboy hats and breakfast boxes from Einstein bagels.   We had our choice – from their Thintastic Egg white Bagel sammies – each under 385 calories, and under 15 grams of fat.  I chose the...

Wow, what a whirlwind few days I had last week!  Did I mention that my flight last Wednesday was at 6:00 a.m., and that the car taking me to the airport was picking me up at 3:00 a.m.?  I ended up going to bed around 9:30 at night on Tuesday, and Tony actually woke me up as my alarm was going off and I didn’t...

Hey guys!  Hope you had fun meeting a few of my favorite bloggers these past few days while I was in Texas!   I missed all of you and can’t wait to catch up and see what you were up to while I was gone. I am sneaking in a weekend post because I realized I never posted this recipe (and I had several emails asking...

This is what I made Saucy Veggie Meatloaf – 3...

Ally from Sweet & Savory and I have been blog friends since I think right after she had her first child – and now in a few short years, she just popped out Baby #3!   Although while her first two children have the brightest blonde hair, somehow Baby #3 has dark hair and I keep kidding her about how that kid came out with...
