Workouts: March 19 – 23

 This was just an average workout week.  I didn’t do anything particularly special, but got some good workouts (and soreness) in.  My elbow isn’t really getting better or getting worse, so I’m trying not to do anything extra outside of using it for volleyball, yoga, 

Butter. It’s not just for bread.

I saw this article on Wisebread and thought it was pretty useful.  The tip about coating a pill in butter to make it easier to swallow makes me want to gag, but there good ones such as preserving a cut onion or hard cheese, and 

GF Snack Attack! T.J.’s Crispy Crunchy C.C. Cookies

These cookies from Trader Joe’s are GOOD! My friend Kelley recommended these and she was so right! I don’t love crispy chocolate cookies usually, but these were melt-in-your-mouth good. The bag contains 2 separately wrapped packs of 7 cookies for $3.99 – so while they 

Caffeine Bomb!

Last night after volleyball, I started to get a migraine.  It’s started out feeling like a tension headache, but then my vision got blurry in the bottom outer side of my right eye, and I knew it was coming.  I took an excedrin and then 

St. Patrick’s Day Recap and why it’ll never be the same for me…

Prosciutto and Egg Cups

Prosciutto and Egg Cups

If you need to make a simple breakfast to impress, this is your dish.  It’s beautiful and tasty – and super-easy.  You may be able to substitute thinly sliced bacon for the prosciutto, but it’s worth buying the prosciutto for.  Serve with some toast and 

Skillet, Rustic.Urban.Food

Last Saturday we went to breakfast with two good friends and I wanted to make sure I mentioned it before this weekend because it was SO good.  We went to Skillet, Rustic.Urban.Food on Whittier in German Village.  I’d read reviews about how small the place 

Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

I made these cupcakes to take into work near Easter last year, and not only were they adorable, they were SO good!  I had been craving peanut butter and banana (like Elvis), so I went on a recipe search.  The cake was nice and fluffy, 

Workouts: March 5 – 10

A little late posting this… I felt like I got a little more back on track this week, probably because I made it to yoga twice, even though my lunchtime workouts weren’t great on Monday and Tuesday.   Monday:   Noon:  Nap – I was
