We bought something this weekend... Okay, not just the gazebo...but the house that it comes with! And since it's an older house and needs some remodeling, my first thought was "let's go to IKEA!" Since we were already in the Baltimore area, I persuaded the dude to take a detour to Trader Joe's since neither … Continue reading We Made A Tiny Purchase…
Weekend Wrap Up: Dropping Fat and My First Massage
I must've done something right this past weekend because somehow I lost about 2 lbs and dropped to 18.8% body fat. I think it might just be one of those fluctuations that don't really matter because I'm not sure that I "earned" the fat loss. I made (and ate) brownies, had half of a beer, … Continue reading Weekend Wrap Up: Dropping Fat and My First Massage
Buffalo Chicken Pizza Braid
Yesterday, a blogger I follow on twitter, Amber DeGrace tweeted a recipe of her Buffalo Chicken Braid. It became the inspiration for our dinner.

Recipe: Chocolate Covered Strawberry and Raspberry Shake
This shake is inspired by One Lucky Duck's Chocolate Covered Strawberry shake. My intent was to make the actual shake, using almond milk, but I soon realized I didn't have lucuma and couldn't find my maca powder (guess I'm out of that too!) Maca powder would be perfect in this Valentine's Day drink since it's an … Continue reading Recipe: Chocolate Covered Strawberry and Raspberry Shake
Workout Wednesday: Downward-Facing Dog
I can't tell you anything technical about Downward Facing Dog that you can't read elsewhere on the Internet, however I can testify to how amazing this pose feels. It's one of my favorites to stretch the hamstrings and open the hips, and it's also a fairly easy pose to measure how you've been improving. … Continue reading Workout Wednesday: Downward-Facing Dog
