The last few weeks I have enjoyed the fresh harvest of pomegranates. I was picked by POM Wonderful as 1 of 100 to host a POM Party in celebration of the pomegranate harvest season. Fresh pomegranates are available only from September to January, but the delicious, nutrient-rich juice is obtainable year-round. I have been eating, […]
I created this pancake and topping combination during my run today. During my cool down, my mind started thinking about breakfast. I had a nice and short run this morning, trying to keep my legs fresh for my 10K Turkey Trot tomorrow morning. I have been eating a lot of red food lately and it […]
POM Wonderful sent me a box of pomegranates. It’s pomegranate season and I have been enjoying making different recipes that incorporate pomegranates. The holiday season is here and I welcomed it with open arms with this festive loaf. This bread is definitely different with nutty taste of pistachios, the unique tartness of the pomegranate and […]
It has been a ruby filled day. I baked with pomegranates, ate cranberries for breakfast and I am currently wearing a ruby dress, blogging from our ruby themed hotel room. I received the granola from my granola exchange this week. I love it. I love the tartness of the dried cranberries. We have relatives visiting, […]

I made these nutella sugar cookie cups for Amy’s bridal shower. The decor for her theme looked so whimsical and romantic. I wanted to make a treat for her special celebration and I came up with these cookie cups filled with nutella mousse. I’m planning to make them again next week for Valentine’s Day. I’ve […]
Here you go, first week of my work wardrobe capsule. I didn’t buy anything new just for this capsule, I wanted to shop my own closet. I wanted to take inventory of what I had, whittle down my wardrobe for the next several months and see how it goes. I got a few compliments […]
I don’t remember the last time I used my big DSLR camera. I didn’t even bring it on our last family vacation. I want to use it more often though and I thought of the excuses I had that was preventing me from grabbing it….and the biggest gripe I had was that it was too […]
The heat of summer is officially here. I come home from work and the first thing I do is open all the windows and screen doors. I like to air out the house and make sure the cold air flows in and out. I do this even before I put my purse down. It’s a […]
My cousin got married recently and the whole family was in attendance. To avoid being interrupted during the open bar, I let my niece use my camera so that she wouldn’t tug at my dress every minute begging to play with my toy. This week, I was playing with my camera and planned to empty […]
enjoying the warm weather at the beach. We are exploring different toddler friendly beaches in the area eating a ton of peaches. I buy a full tray and we eat them throughout the week. I also made my favorite fruit crisp recipe with cut up fresh peaches and added shredded coconut with the oats […]
With my love for all things coconut, I have to admit that using coconut flour has been a hit or miss for me. I’m trying to start collecting “hit” recipes. I have a bag of coconut flour in my pantry that I was so excited to use when I first purchased it. I once made a mistake […]
It was raining all night last night and all day today. It was really cozy inside the house and the perfect day for baking 🙂 I was planning to eat breakfast burrito today but since I woke up with rain outside, I did a switcheroo and ate my usual breakfast lately, protein oatmeal with melted peanut […]
