Berry Kiss Smoothie

June 1st, 2016Tina0 Comments

Who else is stuffed from Memorial Day weekend (aka the all you can eat unofficial start of summer BBQ food bonanza weekend)? If you are like me then you’re looking to have lighter meals to try to help compensate for the damage done from the weekend. I instantly think of smoothies as a sure fire way to a light and healthy meal. Of course not all smoothies are healthy but this one is. This one is dairy free (if that’s the sort of thing that you’re into or just looking to try something different). Plus this one has got some “stick with ya” powers, …

Stuff I’m Into: Road Trip Essentials

May 27th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Who else is excited for the upcoming holiday three day weekend? A lot of us are planning road trips so I thought that this would be a great time to share with you what I think are the road trip essentials. [T-shirt / Jeans / Leopard flats] Comfort chic outfit. Wearing comfy clothes is key and a classic t-shirt and jeans (or jean shorts) does the trick for me. Not only is that comfort at its finest moment but it’s an easy outfit to put together. Plus it’s a great casual look if you’re meeting up with people at your destination. (In …

Avocado Egg in a Bagel

It’s only Wednesday but I’ve already got “weekend breakfast” on the brain. A “weekend breakfast” is the kind of breakfast that you indulge in on a day when you don’t care about calories (because we all know that calories don’t count on weekends). Maybe your Saturday morning will involve some fluffy pancakes, or a huge stack of waffles, or even some yummy apple pie (there’s no judging here). Last weekend I decided to combine two of my favorite breakfasts into one fantabulous meal. This meal is part egg in a bread/hole (depending on what you call it), part avocado toast, and …

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

I don’t like change. After about a year of careful thinking and planning I bought a new car. To be honest with you, if I could have kept my 11 year old Honda CRV with 145,000 miles on it forever then I probably would have. The reality is that I have a long commute to work, it was old, and it was time to upgrade. Change can be a good thing, especially when it comes to buying a shiny new ride, except getting that new ride means that I had to make a big decision and I’m not good at that. I …

Stuff I’m Into: Getting Summer Ready

May 18th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Memorial Day is right around the corner and that means the unofficial start of Summer is almost here. I’m getting anxious for Summer since it’s been a cool Spring. Here’s how I’m getting ready for Summer: Summer Foods. Bye, bye heavy comfort foods and hello, fresh fruits and veggies. I especially can’t wait for corn on the cob to make an appearance at the grocery store. It’s one of my favorites so I apologize in advance if I make a ton of recipes with corn in them. This corn guacamole is one of my favorite appetizers and would be a great …
