Mediterranean Salad

This is my favorite salad (until I have a new favorite, of course 😉 ). I was craving Greek salad the other day. Yes, craving a salad sounds weird, especially because I crave foods like bagels and pizza on a regular basis. You better believe that I’m going to take advantage of this healthy craving while it lasts. I love a traditional Greek salad made with tomatoes, cucumbers and feta cheese, but I wanted to kick it up a notch. I still kept this salad lettuce free, but I added a bunch of other colorful veggies like Kalamata olives, and pepperoncini …

Tuna and Chickpea Salad

I’m ready for Spring. I usually eat lettuce and veggie salads for lunch, but I haven’t been in the mood for them lately. Maybe my mind is still in Winter mode even if my soul is desperate for Spring. Instead I’ve had hot meals like pork egg roll in a bowl, vegetarian chili with rice, and egg rice stir fry. All of the sudden, with a little more light in the evening I find myself switching back to cold salads because I’m craving Spring. This salad is colorful and it reminds me that Spring is here even though it’s still cold here in CT and we …

Greek Chickpea Flatbread Salad

Another day, another salad. I could eat the same thing for breakfast straight for two months and not get bored of it. I usually alternate between yogurt with fruit and oatmeal with fruit. I could also eat the same snack for days on end and that would be just fine. Lately, I’m loving Skinny Pop popcorn as my snack of choice. On the other hand, lunches are a totally different beast. Lately I feel pretty lucky if I eat my lunch without being sick of it by the time I’m done. I’m weird, I know. Salads tend to be my deal …

Tuna and Rice Salad

How does one save time getting ready in the morning? Monday through Friday I feel like I’m rushing in the morning to get everything done on time and out the door for the office. I’ve been driving to the same office for years, but the traffic has gotten worse. A couple of months ago I decided to reevaluate my morning routine and revise it to get things done early enough to make it to work on time. The answer is to plan ahead, prepare, prepare, and prepare some more. The first thing I decided to do was to pick out my outfit …

Greek Avocado Salad

Guys, I’ve been totally slacking on posts lately (if you hadn’t noticed). I’ve mentioned a few times recently that I’ve been focused on my workouts. I think I have a good routine going with those at this point. Now I figure it’s time that I buckle down and focus on eating healthier on a more regular basis (i.e. not just on Mondays). So many of my blog posts are about food, and in my attempts to be healthy mean that the recipes are a bit boring. Some aren’t even “real” recipes at all, but rather a bit of a write up …
