I had the opportunity to try out Winder Farms food delivery service a few weeks ago, and it couldn’t have come at a better time, as I was just returning from traveling and didn’t have time to do our weekly grocery shopping. I set-up my delivery date and their farm fresh products were delivered on […]
Did you know it was Star Wars day today? I didn’t know either but I thought I’d share this themed and fun cupcakes that I made last week for my friend Kathy son’s birthday party. They were really fun to make. Weekend fun has started already. After work today, Chris and I, along with our friends […]
My first exposure to veggie dips was not until high school. I started attending friends parties where they served bite-sized vegetables and a big tub of ranch dressing. Back then, I thought “Wow, vegetables taste great with a thick and creamy dip”. I always served myself with more dipping sauce than vegetables. It’s not a […]
*** Giveaway is now closed *** Since we were gone the last 10 days on vacation, we made sure to eat everything we had in our refrigerator prior to leaving. I gave my fruits and produce to my sister and we ate all our leftovers. The day we returned home, we finished all our laundry […]
Whenever I run early in the morning, I find myself getting hungry for a snack before lunch. I’ll have my normal oatmeal breakfast, have a snack bar mid morning and a late lunch. I would rather have higher calorie and nutrient dense breakfast that will keep me full until lunch. This week I switched things […]

Our neighborhood had a block party and we had a fun time getting to know more of our neighbors. It’s hard to interact with our neighbors because we are all out of the house for work and daycare most of the week and on weekends, we do family time together. This was a great way […]
Here are some of my favorite things lately: Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread – I eat this bread toasted and then put half of an avocado on top with a little sprinkling of salt most mornings. I eat half before I workout and then eat the other half with my eggs after working out. […]
I don’t know about you but I am not ready to let go of Halloween yet. I think I’m going to extend Halloween celebration for another week. This year’s Halloween festivities was so much fun. We went to both Knott’s Scary Farm and Universal Studios Horror Nights. Unfortunately the only pictures that survived are from […]
I feel like I’m getting my baking mojo back. I didn’t bake much during the holidays, which usually is the busiest time in my kitchen, so maybe I’m making up for it now? It’s also because I’ve organized my pantry and now all my baking supplies are in one place and gathering all the ingredients […]
My friend Amy and I ran a fun 10K race recently. We ran the Knott’s Berry Farm (a local amusement park) 10K Coaster Run. This is my 2nd time running this race and since I had a great time last year running with friends, I wanted to repeat it again this year. Getting ready at […]
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 […]
We announced our pregnancy to close family and friends when I was 16 weeks pregnant. It was so exciting to share the news with everyone and it was great to see everyone’s reaction and surprised faces. I remember thinking at this point that I finally have a baby bump (when in reality and after looking […]
