Baked Parmesan Carrot Fries

April 18th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Why is it that I can remember the lyrics of a song that I haven’t heard in over five years but I can’t remember to buy carrots? When I’m in the car listening to the radio I have to jump from station to station to find the one with the best song on and avoid commercials as much as possible. Yes, I’m one of those people. (And yes, it drives my husband bonkers.) When I was on my way home from work the other day I turned on a station and the tune sounded familiar but I couldn’t put my …

Avocado Pasta

Avocado and toast. Have you heard of this before? If you haven’t heard of the notorious avocado and toast then you’re getting two recipes from me today. 😉 You toast up some good bread, you add sliced avocado on top, and you season with salt and pepper. It doesn’t sound impressive but I promise you that it’s a life changing meal. You can go crazy and top it with feta cheese, or an egg, or bacon, or crushed red pepper flakes, or your favorite veggies, or really anything goes. I find the simplest version to be the best. I considered blogging …

Stuff I’m Into: Spring Style

April 13th, 2016Tina2 Comments

We’ve had a cool Spring here in CT. In fact, it was warmer on Christmas than it’s been for most of Spring so far. I’m prepping for just the occasion. Here’s some Stuff I’m Into lately. Desert Shades. A new season is a good excuse to make sure you’ve got a fabulous summer bag. I bought this tote last October and I love it. It’s reversible too! The Maxi Dress. A long, flowy dress is essential for Spring and Summer. I bought a classic black one from White House Black Market about five years ago and I still love and …

Fruit and Oat Smoothie

April 11th, 2016Tina2 Comments

Who had a crazy hectic weekend and ate or drank too much and needs to detox with healthy foods on this Monday? Not me. I had the most boring weekend ever and I’m okay with that. Low key weekends are a great way to recharge myself. In fact, the past couple of weekends have been quiet and I’ve actually had time to catch up on some reading. It’s rare that I actually start and finish a book (unless I’m away on vacation). I read “It Was Me All Along” by Andie Mitchell. It’s a memoir about her struggles with weight …

Berry Crisp for One

April 8th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant by yourself? If you say yes, then I might cry. No really, I have issues seeing people eating alone. I feel so bad that I’ve considered inviting myself over to join the person. The other part of my problem is that I have a total double standard. I don’t have a problem with the idea of me eating alone, and I do it in the food court at the mall sometimes. Is that really considered eating alone though? My husband piped up at this point to inform me that I wasn’t actually eating …
