This summer was the first time I really felt appreciative of the warmer weather, the beach days, longer daylight, the ability to be active in the evenings, play tennis outdoors, eat dinner on the front porch, hangout in lawn chairs in the driveway – all the little things. As the summer passed by and ... Read More about 9th Annual Chili Contest: Entry #5 – Vegan Chili + Weekly Menu
Family Friday (vol. 88): Holiday Spirit!
A woman from my book club typically hosts our December book club...but she declined hosting this year as she's preparing to move. For the holidays, we opt for someone's home over a restaurant and include an ornament exchange. If we get to talking about the book, it's a bonus. Last year's was so much ...

Lemony Lentil Soup
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the CDC issued an e.coli warning for romaine lettuce. I had 4 heads in my fridge that were thrown into the trash late last week and having just brought a romaine salad to the girls’ Thanksgiving potluck, I was holding my breath. It appears it was ...

Chocolate-Cherry Oatmeal Cookies + Weekly Menu
Our trip from Chicago to Champaign on Thanksgiving was a little rough. Piper couldn’t hold up her head as she slept and didn’t appreciate her chin resting on her chest. Neck pain? I dunno.

We have nothing going on this weekend other than our rescheduled family photos after Piper’s stomach bug last weekend. I think we’ll get ahead of the game and put up our Christmas decorations. I’m typically one to wait until after Thanksgiving, but with the snow already flying, it doesn’t seem at ... Read More about Classic Vegetable Soup
Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce + Weekly Menu
I don’t talk a lot about my work as a Registered Dietitian (RD) or Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) because the vast majority of my day-to-day work is spent in meetings or other management and leadership “stuff”. I say this very fondly as I love leadership and find it feeds my desire for continuous ... Read More about Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce + Weekly Menu
9th Annual Chili Contest: Entry #4 – Cajun White Chicken Chili
I am promising to the blogosphere that I’ll be up and at’em for a morning workout tomorrow. I’ve become a professional sleeper lately and the morning workouts have been a struggle. My alarm was set to get up this morning for a workout, but Piper’s 1am request for a diaper change and a hug had me ... Read More about 9th Annual Chili Contest: Entry #4 – Cajun White Chicken Chili
