Time for some fun food! Healthy guacamole, woman peas! Yup, I made it with peas!I used 3 very ripe avocados and half a bag of frozen peas (that I defrosted first). I hand blended the avocados and peas together, but I like my guac chunky so I didn't blend it until it was smooth. Then I …

WIAW – Smoothies on the brain
Between smoothies in the morning and banana ice cream at night I can't keep bananas on my kitchen counter long enough! I've been making a smoothie every day for breakfast recently because they are refreshing, easy to transport to work and filling! Here are some variations of what I have been making recently: I always …
WIAW – with a sprinkle of stress on top
As I said earlier this week, change is stirring in the air, and along with the aroma of excitement, the taste of stress has creeped in. Taking a leap and leaving the safety of the usual day-to-day is a great way to truly find yourself. To grow you need to rise up to challenges that …
WIAW – some eats from the week
The past few days have been filled with delicious food - some prepared at the hands of others and some cooked chez moi. The weekend was busy with good friends and adventures including, some sushi (Going out for sushi is never complete unless I get to enjoy a seaweed salad as well) Some homemade cocktails …
WIAW – taking something back
During my training for my half marathons I supplemented my days off between running with pilates classes. I was hesitant at first to enter the world of dance positions and flexibility, but after my initial classes I was hooked. However, once the accident happened pilates went out the window along with any heavy impact activities. …
WIAW – eating go-to meals
I love going to the grocery store and shopping for fresh ingredients to use in new recipes. Even better is going to the farmer's market on Sunday morning and buying right-off-the-farm veggies to cook up during the week. Well this weekend I did have a chance to fill my reusable bags with beautifully fresh foods, …
WIAW – Quick and Easy
I like to cook. I really do. But that doesn't mean that I slave over a hot stove for hours with countertops of ingredients. I like to use as few ingredients as possible because the shorter the list the faster I get to eat. The simpler recipes also give me less of a chance to …
WIAW – On a very long day
It's rare that my office has very long meetings, but yesterday was one of those days where I entered the building at 7am and did not leave until 5:30pm. We had an all day meeting with a handful of 10 minute breaks to stretch our legs and snarf down a snack. I was so tired …
WIAW – In the cold
Let's just say that the boiler at work is broken, so that means everyone wandering around the office looks like they are about to ski off a mountain in their winter gear. I have not taken my coat off this entire week of work - I think I might just wear pajamas underneath one day! …
WIAW – New Finds
Most of my meals throughout the week are rather repetitive due to my long work hours and workout schedule. I find that it's just easier to cook up some of my go-to meals that I know will satisfy me instead of cooking for hours when I get home. However, it's always nice to change things …
