Today I needed a funk buster. I have these awesome cupcakes in the fridge and 10:45am my funk-monster was wanting to have more than it’s fair share. I whipped on my new attire (hello, I have seven year old sports bras) and hit the pavement. Sometimes you just need a bit of sun, fresh air, … Continue reading
I remember when I first watched Good Will Hunting I also remember how much my wallet cries when I buy almond butter at the shops. It’s about 10.00 a jar here in Australia. People, I spent 72.00 filling up my Ford Focus today. It’s expensive here (one of the only major downfalls of Australia). So … Continue reading
When I eat gluten I become a hot emotional bit–y mess. Ask Andrew. He’ll agree and then sneakily say “are you sure it’s just the gluten?” Cheeky bugger! Anyways, I have thought A LOT about what foods do to me and what foods keep me on the straight and narrow in life. Foods that keep … Continue reading
Maybe it’s an American thing (any of my Aussie peps can chime in on this one) but we yearly had a dunk tank and/or a ‘pie in your face’ day. Usually it was out MOST ‘favourite’ teachers on the dunk tank/pie chopping block. Or maybe it’s because I won a jello-pie-sucking contest. please, don’t ask. … Continue reading
I have had the fortunate scheduling from work with six days in a row off . I needed it, my back needed it, my being needed it, the floors in my house needed it, the laundry needed it. Being the American that I am, my focus for much of my recent adult life has been … Continue reading
One of the things which I’ve tried to focus on in my food recovery is something that sounds so simple…to really LOVE food. “But I just love food SO much, I couldn’t possibly give up ________” or “I just love food so much, I couldn’t possibly lose this weight.” or “I am just doomed to … Continue reading
My cat pretty much hates me. I’m not even kidding. The poor thing has lived her life for two years as a barn cat, then was picked up by the pound, to be subjected to being spayed and having to wear a cone for 10 days. I am LOVING fostering a cat, I think it’s … Continue reading
I don’t know what got over me last night. Maybe it was the two almost brown bananas in the fruit basket. A weekend away from home eating popsicles and trying on bridesmaid dresses. Whatever the case may be, I wanted to bake. But, I wanted to do something which I haven’t been able to ever … Continue reading
When I was a house mom I used to cook for a least 22 people twice a week. It was normal to know how much of everything to buy for that many people. (this is just snacks, don’t be fooled) When Andrew and I started dating, I would ALWAYS make way too much food. I … Continue reading
My sister sent me these amazing mint meltaway chips the other day as a care package. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been sneaking a couple here and there throughout the week. They are just too good. I’m a little nervous about this Christmas. It’s going to be me and the boy..his family…his friends. It’s weird, … Continue reading
