Does anyone else find it difficult to buy sunglasses? I own two pairs of sunglasses and one of them isn’t comfortable so I really only have one pair. Spring is almost here and I need to step up my game in the shades department. My local Macy’s recently added a sunglass hut so I checked it out yesterday. I spent an hour there and I left with nothing. An hour. Sigh. It shouldn’t be this hard, right? Okay, I’m done looking for sympathy. 😉 Anyway, the other day I was looking through a cookbook and found this recipe. Coincidentally, I recently saw …

Stuff I’m Into: Spring Trends

March 4th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Guys, I’m not feeling inspired in the kitchen. Not at all. As a result I’ve not posted as many recipes as I normally do. I’m sure that at some point I’ll be back to my normal self again. In the meantime, I’m completely craving Spring so I thought I’d share some of the Spring trends that I’m Into. Cactus. Last year seemed like it was the year of pineapple prints. You simply weren’t cool if you weren’t sporting a t-shirt, bag, shoes or whatever that showed it off. I think pineapples will always be a classic symbol in the warmer …

Almond Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Do you get obsessed when you find a new ingredient that you love? Right now I’m into baking with coconut oil and coconut sugar. Do you bake with coconut sugar? If so, do you use it because of a particular health reason or because you like the flavor? I’m curious. It sounds like coconut sugar has some good benefits, but I don’t really have a strong opinion one way or the other. I’m just having fun experimenting with it, especially since I’ve had some successful recipes lately. I still bake mostly with white and brown sugars. I recently ran out of the paleo chocolate …

Tomatoes, White Beans, and Broccolini Salad

February 26th, 2016Tina0 Comments

I’m craving Spring and all things that remind me of Spring. I’m not complaining because we’ve had a mild winter, but I sure am anxious for warmer weather and longer days. I can’t wear shorts yet (nor do I even want to). Hello, white legs. But I can start eating foods that fresh and feel spring-y, like this salad. Isn’t it funny how we tend to crave warm, comforting, fatty foods in the winter, but then do a 180 and crave healthy fresh veggies and fruit once it warms up? I don’t think I’m alone in this. Am I? (I’m hearing …

Single Serving Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie

Holy cow, guys… my blog is three years old today! I’ve been thinking about how to memorialize the occasion. Should I give advice to my fellow bloggers? Should I share what I’ve learned over the years? Let’s face it, the answers to those questions seem like they’d be long and drawn out and I don’t want to bore you guys. The short answer is that I’ve learned more about blogging and myself than I ever thought I could. It has been quite a journey so far and I’m very proud of how far Tina’s Chic Corner has come. As on …
