Monday's are always full of plenty of emails, work and wishing it was not Monday. So what better way to get through a Monday but thinking about sushi for dinner all day. That is what I did yesterday... When the clock struck 5:30 I was out the door and on my way to Japanese heaven. …

Creative in the Kitchen
To prepare for this busy week I decided to make an easy dinner that would last me a few meals. I simply threw into the crock pot some lean ground turkey, veggies and this new find, Trader Joe's Curry Sauce. After a few hours my fragrant meal was complete and Monday's lunch was ready. After …
Successful Saturday
I don't know if it's my new swim cap or just that I am getting better at swimming, but yesterday I managed to swim for 45 minutes straight, the second time in 3 days. Unlike running, which came naturally, swimming has been a bit of a chore and I have to consciously make an effort to …
Tea Leaf Salad
Yesterday was a special day, complete with a surprise delivery of beautiful flowers. And a celebratory dinner at a restaurant I have been meaning to try for a very long time. The meal was delicious but the best part was the Tea Leaf Salad. They mix together all of the ingredients, lentils, peanuts, sesame seeds, …
A Good Evening

Last night I made some really easy chicken and threw together a salad. After cleaning a few thin chicken breasts I sprayed them lightly with olive oil and sprinkled oregano, …
Happy New Year!
Yes, it is the start of the Jewish new year and it couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. I am back on my feet and getting stronger every day and I know that this year will start off a million times better than last year ended. My very first meal of the new …
Kicking Butt
Yesterday was my first day of personal transitional training. I worked with a trainer at my physical therapists office doing specific strength training to build up my leg and glute muscles. She certainly kicked my butt for that full hour but it felt great! It was wonderful to move my body again, pushing it to …
Crock Pot to the rescue
I recently purchased a crock pot and it is a life saver. During the week I work very long hours and now that I go to the pool I get home even later. So it's crock pot for the win! I make a meal sunday night and then I have it to either take for …
