Chickpea and Broccoli Rice

November 15th, 2017Tina2 Comments

My social media feeds are full of Thanksgiving food pictures and I’m loving that. I don’t think I can get tired of seeing pictures of all the pies. Mmm pies. Plus, I think it’s kind of fun to see what people make for their families, whether it be a rendition of a classic dish or something non-traditional, like tacos. Obviously today’s post has nothing to do with Thanksgiving foods. If you’re like me then I figure you might like an idea of what to eat on the other 364 days of the year. 😉 This meal is a good example …

Friday Fitness

November 10th, 2017Tina2 Comments

It’s been a while since I chatted about my fitness routine and it’s such a big part of my life that I thought I’d share with you what I’ve been up to. What I’m doing: I change my workout routine to keep it interesting, and also based on the season. Back in August I got back to running. I tend to only run when I can do it outside because the treadmill is SO boring for me. With daylight savings time over, it’s pretty much dark all the freakin time. I don’t like to run in the dark. That means …

Mmm Pies

How in the world is Thanksgiving already only two weeks away? Crazy talk. We all know that means it’s pie season. I’ve made a variety of pies over the years and I thought it was high time to showcase them all right here in one nifty spot. There are a couple items in the list that are barely pies, but they are still delicious. Apple Pie. This is the only apple pie recipe you’ll ever need because it’s that good. It’s a family recipe and I make it almost every Fall. Pumpkin Pie. This pie is THE dessert for Thanksgiving. …

Whole Wheat Mini Pumpkin Muffins

The age old question this time of the year, are you a pumpkin or apple food person? Pumpkin pie, apple cake, pumpkin cookies, apple pie… there are so many delicious goodies and so little time. I love them all. I will say that I’ve never found an apple muffin that rocked my world, but I do love pumpkin muffins. I’ve made a variety of pumpkin muffins over the years but this is the first time I’ve made whole wheat pumpkin muffins. I’ve never made whole wheat muffins of any flavor actually, so I thought I’d try something different. Whole wheat …

Chocolate Chip Cookie Whoopie Pies

November 1st, 2017Tina17 Comments

Have you ever had a cookie whoopie pie?! It’s life changing. (I may be being a bit dramatic, but I’m kinda right. 😉 ) First of all, let’s address the elephant in the room. I took a little break from blogging because my husband and I went on vacation. We took a 9 day road trip from home to Maine, and then on to New Brunswick, Canada and finally to Prince Edward Island, Canada. (And then obviously all those things backwards as we made our way home.) We had a wonderful time and of course I’ll share all the details …
