First off, Happy Halloween everyone!! While Halloween is not one of my most favorite holidays (I am more of a Thanksgiving and Christmas kind of girl), I still appreciate and enjoy the sentiments of dressing up in costumes and eating tasty Fall-like treats. I am pretty sure that we are all very aware that Fall [...]
October 2013
Wednesday has rolled around again, and surprisingly this Wednesday came pretty quickly. This likely has a lot to do with the fact that I only worked three hours on Monday so it sort of only feels like Tuesday. Unfortunately, since I spent most of Monday driving back to Nebraska after being home for the weekend, [...]
Guess what today is y'all? (no I'm not Southern, I just love that word! ;)) That's right. Today is Tuesday. Now, normally I would severely dislike this day. You see, Tuesdays and I really don't get along. Tuesdays keep me from being close to Fridays and, thus, normally tend to make me a bit unhappy. [...]

October 28, 2013 in Recipes, Smoothies, SnacksYou may remember from my Healthy Living Summit 2013 review posts that one of the awesome sponsors of the conference was Ninja Kitchen.

I am always excited when Fridays roll around, but lately I have been extra excited about my Fridays. Last Friday I worked a half day and headed right into a fabulous weekend at my best friend's bachelorette party in Chicago. This Friday is a great one, too, because I am off of work at 3 [...]
I have a confession. I do not like oatmeal. I have tried it time and time again, but have experienced the same end result. I just cannot get into it. But do you know what I absolutely can get into? And, in fact, have fallen in love with? Overnight oats! Overnight oats are kind of [...]
It's Wednesday! You know what that means...a full day of my super fabulous, entertaining, unique, and amazing eats. Okay, so those adjectives may not be true, but let's go with it! ;) What I Ate Wednesday Monday Breakfast Breakfast #1 before I headed into work was three microwaved eggwhites (with some hot sauce mixed in) all [...]
Fall is officially here. The weather in the Midwest the past week has been chilly and rainy with highs only into the upper 50's and lower 60's. You know what this means...Winter is right around the corner. As much as I don't want to say that, it is the truth people!! But we don't have [...]
Happy Friday!! Not only am I ecstatic about the fact that it is Friday, but I am especially happy about THIS particular Friday for two reasons. 1. I am only working until 12:00 p.m. today (I could totally get used to 4 hour days ;)), and 2. I am headed to Chicago tomorrow for my best [...]
Welp folks, we are almost halfway through the work week and I could not be more excited. I don't know about you, but I am just not feeling this week. The weekend needs to get here and it needs to get here ASAP! But while we are waiting on Friday at 5:00 (or actually 12:00 [...]
