I keep jokingly referring to today as my last weekday of freedom, because work starts on Monday. Luckily I got a beautiful sunny day. I went for a nice walk around the pond this morning and then had my hair and eyebrows done. A little pampering on my last day. Last night I got my [...]

Pizza night
Posted in Dinner on July 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Tonight my family had a pizza night for dinner. However, instead of ordering in, we took a healthier and more economical approach by using Trader Joe’s frozen pizzas. All around, they were a hit! For the 5 of us, we split 3: Four Cheese (or Pizza 4 Formaggi if you want to be fancy), Parlanno [...]
A dog’s life

Just got back from a run outside! At last. Unfortunately my first run in a few days wasn’t the great comeback I was hoping for. For some reason, I was having more trouble breathing than usual. I think it might have been allergies. I never thought I was affected by allergies, but this whole spring [...]
Fingers crossed

I woke up to sun this morning! It was a great change from the past few days. I have my fingers crossed that it lasts through the day. I’m hoping to get in an outside run this afternoon. For breakfast, I had a Peach Chobani with a packet of Kar’s Goin Granola. Such a great [...]
Tornado Warning?!

Not only has the rain continued into yet another day, but today there’s a chance of a tornado! Massachusetts is being hit with flash floods, hail, and crazy winds. Plus, it’s only in the 60s. Once again, I didn’t get a chance to run outside today. Worst summer ever. Unfortunately my lunch didn’t get photographed, [...]
Steel Cut Oatmeal

I experimented with a new breakfast today: Quaker Steel Cut Oats. I made it by bringing 1 and 1/2 cups of water to a boil, then adding 1/4 cup of oats. I then put the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. I microwaved some frozen berries and mixed those in [...]
Raining cats and dogs

I was just starting to think about going for a run when the skies opened up. It’s been pouring rain for the past two hours, with occasional loud cracks of lightning. I have a few errands to take care of this afternoon and now I don’t want to leave my house! I keep hoping it’s [...]
Lots of Tortillas

Today for lunch, I made a salad with Romaine, tomatoes, carrots, feta cheese, chicken, and some of Trader Joe’s Goddess Dressing. It was the first time I used the dressing, and it was great! I wrapped some of the salad up into a tortilla and finished the rest on the side. After lunch I went [...]
Back to reality

The Monday morning after a holiday weekend is always a struggle. Even though I’m still enjoying my summer vacation before work starts, it’s hard to say goodbye to the weekend. Last night, we had a little cookout to end the Fourth of July weekend. I tried a new Portbello and Swiss Turkey burger. Here it [...]
Fourth of July

I hope everyone had a great holiday! In Boston, we finally had some beautiful summer weather. I spent a lot of time in the city–with my family during the day, and then met up with friends in the evening. My family went to Sonsie for lunch. We went here for lunch last year on the [...]
