As some of you may know I took a local kickboxing class for about 3 and 1/2 years. Sometimes I’d throw in a run or do a DVD workout on TV, but 95% of my workout life for the past few years was all about kicking the crap out of a bag. I loved it because it was an awesome workout and I made a lot of friends. Sadly, the class is no longer being offered and I suddenly had to figure out what I wanted to do to take its place. I don’t like change and honestly I was upset …

Mexican Corn and Quinoa Salad
Yesterday’s lunch is today’s post. In fact, since my husband doesn’t like quinoa, the leftovers were today’s lunch too. I was so excited with anticipation and couldn’t wait for lunch time to roll around. This salad is that awesome. I’ve heard of Mexican corn but I never knew exactly what it was until I saw this recipe and got curious enough to look it up. Mexican (street) corn, also known as elote, is a corn on the cob most commonly served with salt, chili powder, butter, cheese, lemon or lime juice, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Wow, I’ve been missing out because that sounds fabulous. …
Stuff I’m Into: Beach Essentials
Here’s a list of my beach side/pool essentials: Sunscreen. I’m a fanatic when it comes to protecting my skin so I lather up with lots of sunscreen. I’ve been using Banana Boat Sport sunscreen for years and love it because it’s not greasy or “lotion-y” feeling. I also use Aveeno sunscreen for my face. You can certainly use the Banana Boat on your face but I prefer using something that is specifically designed for the face. I don’t think that’s strictly necessary. My husband uses Banana Boat on his face and it works just fine. I also use Banana Boat sunscreen lip balm because my lips …
Triple Berry Pie
Mmm pie. Do I start all my post about pie that way? I don’t remember. I have mixed emotions about pies. I love, love, love to eat them, so let’s set that straight. However, I’m not necessarily a fan of making them because it’s a bit of a process for me. Did I cut the fruit the right size? Do I have too much fruit? Do I have too little fruit? Did I roll the crust the right size to fit the pan? Is the pie done cooking? How about now? Am I taking it out too early? Did the filling thicken …
Summer Salad
Without a doubt my favorite summertime veggie is corn on the cob. I could probably eat corn on the cob everyday. I guess that’s not a bad thing since it’s a vegetable and it being healthy and all. My husband is piping up to mention that corn isn’t really a vegetable, even if it is in the vegetable section of the grocery store. Fair warning, I miiight inundate you with corn recipes over the next few weeks. I’m sorry in advance. Although if you love corn as much as I do then you’ll thank me. 😉 I just found out that …
