As I mentioned last week, I spent the weekend catching up with some amazing friends down in the District of Colombia… …don’t I have beautiful friends?? Our weekend reunions usually consist of three things: eating, going out, and cuddling with each other while watching a movie like we used to in college. I think that [...]

It is now about 24 hours before my exam. Between now & the end of the exam, I’m limiting myself to food that supposedly helps improve brain functionality/capacity and is stress reducing, as described in my post a few days ago. To start my day today I went with a hearty breakfast: Oatmeal (Whole Grains [...]

In my personal opinion, there is no where like New England in the fall. Leaves changing, air crisply cool but pleasant, fall’s sweet smell in the air…it’s by far my favorite season. This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting NYC for both work and pleasure. I posted a few days ago about my [...]

Now that it’s officially fall, trees laden with yellow, orange and red leaves, I start to crave a few of my favorite colder-weather treats. Among my favorites: Grilled Cheese.

Have you ever heard the expression “Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day”? It’s actually true in many ways.

I have always loved oatmeal. The flavor, the consistency, and the satiating feeling I get after finishing a serving all contribute to my liking of oatmeal. Believe it or not, I eat oatmeal for breakfast about five times a week! I know what you’re thinking…”wow that is a really boring breakfast menu”. Sorry, but I [...]
Muffin or Muffin Top?

When I hear the word Muffin I think of two things: One: Be it blueberry, bran, banana, cinnamon…….the airy, sweet, delicious aroma of the warm breakfast item: Muffins. Muffins come in all shapes and sizes, though if you buy them freshly made, they’re usually huge. You can find muffins at your local bakery, grocery store, [...]
