This time last year I was hoping to lose a little bit of weight. Usually I go through cycles throughout the year where my weight is a little higher or a little lower depending on the season. However, I noticed that I didn't lose a few pounds like I normally do during the summer, so … Continue reading 30 Days to Fit

Doing Stuff and Baking Bread
Hey, wow, what do you know? I'm blogging again! It's been quite some time, for very good reasons. The one advice I got for the summer before grad school was to "get rest," as was my biggest goal for May-August. Apparently, life happened differently than I would've planned on, and most of that rest wasn't … Continue reading Doing Stuff and Baking Bread
Friday Things
I like these things... A wonderful woman of God, role model, and influence passed away last week. Some memorable quotes from her. The Phish community has so many talented artists I'm sure I've already said it, but I'm bummed I'm missing Mike's tour. I did get to catch some of the free webcast on Sunday … Continue reading Friday Things
Trash or Treasure
Food Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups - TREASURE Even though they're mini, the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter is right on. The sweetness of the chocolate is just right - I love the mysterious nature of the dark flavor. And the peanut butter is a perfectly savory match to balance out the … Continue reading Trash or Treasure
A Delicious Gluten-Free Lasagna
This is hands down the best meal I've made in the past, oh, two years. I wasn't even making it for anything special. I just went to the grocery store, knew I needed something for dinner, and remembered I had a box of Jovial gluten-free lasagna noodles in my pantry. I had been craving lasagna … Continue reading A Delicious Gluten-Free Lasagna
Confessions
Confession: I once stole a magazine that I liked from a doctor's office, because I wanted to finish reading it. (That's allowed, right??) Confession: I never ate a salad for a meal until the year 2012. Probably why I have gluten intolerance. Confession: My favorite genre of movie is sci-fi thriller, or action/adventure, but I … Continue reading Confessions
Clean Slate
This book, by the editors of Martha Stewart Living, is, as it says so obviously on the back cover, more than just a cookbook. But even with the advertising I wasn't expecting it to have as much as it does. In plain language, Clean Slate guides the reader through eleven golden rules that everyone seeking … Continue reading Clean Slate
Weekend Trip to Burlington
Or, The One Where We Celebrate Whit's Birthday SONY DSC Like I mentioned before, I planned a surprise trip to Burlington, Vermont for Whit's birthday. He gave me permission to use some of our vacation money, which is very trusting of him since he had no idea what I was scheming. For weeks, I had … Continue reading Weekend Trip to Burlington
Homemade Chicken Soup
Thoughts: Ooh! I have a{n awful, terrible} picture, so I should finally get around to blogging a recipe. My mom made this for herself when she and my dad came to visit two weeks after both of us couples had just moved into new homes. She was sick, which was understandable due to all of … Continue reading Homemade Chicken Soup
Friday Things
I like these things... Another great reason to want to be best friends with Jennifer Lawrence. Ha! Whit sent me this: I wish... I always wondered about this. 🙂 Have a good weekend! We're going skiing/snowboarding tonight - I can't wait! Scratch that. There's a weather advisory because the wind chill today is -19, etc. … Continue reading Friday Things
