Do you see this pile of bacon!? Yesterday morning some friends and I had front row seats to this mound of meat while enjoying a delicious brunch at Plow. I had an incredible plate of eggs. But if you are heading here any time soon the lemon ricotta pancakes are where it's at! Yes I stole …

Distracted
It's finally Friday and I am so so so distracted. It has been an incredibly busy week, the news is constantly on my mind (close friends and family are over in Israel) and flying home for Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Time is moving so quickly and while it's exciting to progress in my …
Getting Warm
I don't know about you but I am not adjusting well to the cold. This weekend I kept very busy to avoid sitting in my freezing apartment. I ran lots of errands, went for a hike, exercised at the gym and I even bought sweaters! I also got my haircut - where I knew there …

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 …
Who wouldn’t want to…
