One of my clients told me she used quinoa in place of granola in her yogurt parfaits.  I LOVE this idea! So I whipped up a recipe to share with you! Check out this yumminess.  Russ and I love to add quinoa to our hot breakfast cereals.  We toss in steel cut oats and oat […]

Boy…the weekends always fly by, don’t they? I am so happy that the sun is shining!  I got in 2 great runs with my man this weekend so that makes me smile.  We have had so much snow…mostly on the weekends this winter and that has really disrupted my weekend running plans.  I don’t like […]

Russ and I bought a big bowl of chopped fruit salad from Whole Foods this past weekend.  Sometimes it can be less expensive to buy the fruit all diced and sliced then purchasing a bunch of the whole fruits and then doing all the work.   The bowl was full of cantaloupe, honeydew, kiwifruit, strawberries, […]

The sun is shining and that makes me happy.  This past week we had a quick run in with snow.  That made me a little unhappy.  I am just not quite ready. Thankfully, with the sun brightly shining, Russ, Lucy and I got in 2 nice long walks this weekend!  We took in some of […]
