Busting at the Seams
No, I’m not referring to my pants with the title- haha. I’m talking about the 3 huge bags of produce we came home with from the farmers market! As I mentioned in a previous post, we have quite a bit of CSA funds to use up before the season ends so today we spent a [...]

Food & Wine Summer Style
Look who ended up at my place last night… The lovely Katharina! How cute is she? We’ve been planning to get together and cook for the longest time and last night our little plan fell into place. Since the warm days of summer are most likely limited we decided to utilize summer veggies, the grill, [...]

New Found Faves
I’ve recently come across some new things I simply love so I thought I’d put a little post together to highlight them… 1. Aerie F.I.T. Seamless Tank: Over the weekend I found this tank at aerie, the intimates sub-brand of American Eagle. I tried it on and bought it immediately! New workout gear is a [...]

Draft Who’s Cutest and Eat Beet Hummus
You’ll never believe what happened did this weekend!?! I, the girl who’s probably never watched over 5.4 minutes of a football game (excluding Super Bowl commercials), joined a fantasy football league AND attended a draft party. It’s an all-ladies league and it’s called “Draft Who’s Cutest” so I couldn’t really resist. Needless to say, Isaac [...]

Brownies for Breakfast
This morning I woke up to a pan full of Happy Herbivore’s Black Bean Brownies and decided why not have one as part of my breakfast! Not only are these babies low fat and vegan, they are fudgey and delicious and taste nothing like beans. I tried one warm last night and it tasted okay, [...]

Quick and Easy
Hello and happy weekend to you! I am in a great mood because I’m feeling much better. My cold is going away and my leg felt better than it has in a while yesterday so things are looking up. Even when you’re sick, you just can’t help but smile when someone surprises you by bringing [...]

Quick Quinoa Salad
So far this week has been, well, interesting… Basically I’ve been drinking my weight in Gypsy Cold Care and Throat Coat, sucking on way too many cough drops, sneezing and sulking lounging around the house because my leg now hurts to even walk. I think I’m making it sound worse than it is, but honestly [...]

Relay Foods Winner and Fitness Magazine Dinner
Just as I was wrapping up a less than stellar week last Thursday, I found out that I had won the Relay Foods prize pack that was raffled off at the Carytown Watermelon Festival a few weeks ago. I don’t know what it is about that festival, but I always tend to win something there. [...]

Sushi and Smelling like a Fig
How’s your weekend going? Mine has been quite eventful thus far, for only being half-way through… Friday evening, I stumbled upon this little gem: Akida, may look like a hole in the wall and may only be as big as one, but don’t let it fool you. Big portions of seaweed salad – always a [...]

Kombucha, Kimchi and Cookies – Oh My.
Thank you so much for the kind comments, emails and tweets. I really appreciate it – knowing that I had all of you sending positive vibes my way definitely helped to make me feel better yesterday. After your words of encouragement it was time for me to say, “out with the frozen meals, in with [...]

It’s Hard to Rest
Normally I keep the content on EBF happy, uplifting and (hopefully) inspiring, but these last few weeks have been really tough. Huge family related issues have been on my mind (the type of stuff that if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me). And, despite physical therapy, the tingling sensation in my leg doesn’t seem [...]

Oats, Salad and Pizza (what else is new)
Hi there – is anyone else having as crazy of a day as I am? Today has just been go go go… never a dull moment! Anyway, since I was so busy it was nice to have a breakfast that held me over well. Overnight Oats strike again! This time topped with Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut [...]

Beano Gets Hitched
Hi y’all – I’m back from Georgia, where Isaac and I spent the weekend for one of my best friend’s wedding! The cutest part about the whole celebration is that Beano and David, the bride and groom, got married at the summer camp where they met and all the guests stayed in camp cabins. It [...]

Peach Crisp for One
Want a baked fruit dessert, but not a whole 9×11 pan full of it that could potentially get devoured in less than 24 hours go to waste? These were my thoughts exactly so I decided to create a single serving baked peach crisp. To my delight, it turned out quite nicely! Peach Crisp for One [...]

Juice Party
What’s a girl to do when she gets a juicer for her birthday?? Buy lots of fruit and veggies and throw a juice party, DUH? My friend Barbara (Hi lady!!) did just that and I was super pumped to take part in the fun. There were kiwis. Pineapple and carrots. Pears and peaches. Beets and [...]

How to Make Amazing Salads (in 10 minutes or less)
I’ve had couple requests for details about how I go about making the different salads I’m always eating. To be quite honest most of them are just thrown together with whatever ingredients I have on hand at the moment. However, I do try to make certain I include a lean protein, healthy fat, and some [...]

Quinoa Parfait and Other Weekend Highlights
Ahh.. I found a new breakfast treat that you have to try…. I stumbled across a quinoa parfait recipe online, thought it sounded tasty and decided to make my own similar creation. I have 10 lbs of peaches on my hands counter top (again) so of course, I had to incorporate peaches. ‘Twas a grand [...]

Feeling the Vibe
You never realize just how much of an inconvenience not having power is until it’s out! Let’s just say that sleeping in an upstairs bedroom, during the summer, without AC sucks is uncomfortable. UGH! Our power came back on last night around 8PM and then shut off again around 11PM. Finally, at 11AM this morning [...]

TGIF
Happy Friday friends!! I was so happy that today was Friday, but then I got off work and came home to a dark house – the power is out for the second time in two weeks! This means no cooking for us tonight so we’re headed out to dinner and I’ll be back tomorrow!! In [...]

Makeshift
Don’t try this at home… unless, of course, you want to make a delicious sandwich. Sesame ezekiel bread, spinach, red onion, tomato, hummus, avocado, and pepper jack cheese grilled to perfection. I used the tea kettle and an extra pot to put pressure on the sandwich. Miraculously it stayed balanced and the sandwich turned out [...]
