Burrito bowls at home

July 30, 2012

While on vacation in Colorado, I found and adored Chipotle. I could easily eat there twice a week, but would not love and adore the increasing waist size. Chipotle burrito bowls are amazing, but heavy on calories. I wanted to try to re-create a leaner version and I think I hit the mark! I …

Salads are healthy, right?

July 29, 2012

It depends. This was the topic at last week’s Weight Watcher’s meeting. Our leader told the story of her two friends who went out to eat to celebrate a special occasion. They went to a steakhouse and both decided on a salad because they wanted to eat “healthy” to reaffirm their commitment to maintaining an [...]

Crossfit July

July 28, 2012

Home grown, homemade SALSA!!

July 23, 2012

There are many uses for tomatoes and I’m trying my hand at salsa. I’m a little picky about mine. I like it spicy, not necessarily hot. I love a LOT of cilantro and it must have some smoky tones. As far as texture, I want the thin restaurant style instead of the chunky stuff. …

You say tomato, I say ewww.

July 22, 2012

I have never shied away from loudly proclaiming that even though I’m a Southern lady, I hate tomatoes. It’s is purely a texture issue. For over 30 years, I have had to answer the same questions and defend myself to the same relatives over and over. I do not like tomatoes. However, I married a [...]
