When I was doing Whole30, I got really good at reading labels and it opened up my eyes. Even my seasonings and dried herb mixes had a ton of ingredients I couldn’t understand or pronounced. I made this taco seasoning back in March and this week I made my second batch. It’s great with […]
I feel so productive when I make dinner in a slow cooker. It feels good knowing dinner is cooking itself. I’m working towards making at least a few crock pot meals several times a month, to include it in my Sunday meal prep. Lately though, I’ve been preparing the ingredients right before bed and letting […]
I made this almond crusted salmon twice during the month I did Whole 30. I bought 2 Costco size salmon, that was easily about 10 servings each. I bake it all at once and then portion and freeze half of it. I love salmon and usually bake/grill them with just a simple oil, salt & […]
I’ve always set aside time during the week to prep food ahead of time. This just makes my week less stressful and keeps my sanity. I do this most weeks, all year. But while on Whole30, planning ahead becomes very necessary (it was mandatory for me) in order to stay compliant throughout the week. I […]
This past week was a stressful one. The hubby was traveling for work conference, baby was sick and I had major deadlines at work. I had to leave work on time in order to pick up the little man at day care on time. Every minute spent at work had to be super efficient with […]

Months from now, when I have forgotten what I did this summer, I can look back at these snapshots and be reminded of it all…in pictures. This week we received our wedding pictures. I am so excited to look thru them slowly, look at them one by one because it takes me back to 2 […]
thinking January was a loooong month. I’m ready for February and all the hearts and chocolates baking banana chocolate bread. Rainy days are our baking days, and we’ve had many rainy days in the past week going to the Zoo. It was cold and wet and we jumped thru a lot of muddy […]
I spent the afternoon with my niece, taking pictures of her frolicking in the garden. I love taking pictures, a ton of pictures. It’s even better when the subject is so much fun to play with. My sister dressed her up really cute. I wish I had outfits like my niece when I was little. […]
I’m walking on sunshine….. Today, I was reminded how great it is to live in Southern California. It was clear, sunny and just right 🙂 I left my house with a great smile and say ahhhhh, sunshine. I ran errands during lunch, it was an excuse to soak up the sun while I can. The […]
I can’t believe how fast this month is going. Part of the reason that I wanted to do December daily is to help me be in the moment, appreciate all the festivities and also to have a journal for this month. I would say that my intention is working….(except for the writing it down and […]
I really look forward to Summer. I feel my best in the Summer. I love the freshness it brings. I love all the bright colors and the long days. I’m more cheerful and the little things excite me. What a great way to get excited for the summer…. by putting my intentions on paper my […]
I made healthy cookies. They are made without added sugar, the sweetness comes from banana and shredded coconut. I made these to enjoy with my afternoon tea at work and also to bring during my recent trip to Portland. I’m planning to make another batch to stock up my freezer stash 🙂 The first […]
Happy Halloween Eve! We had our Halloween fun this weekend. We attended the annual Halloween event at Chris’s work. His and hers costume. Chris was the Green Hornet and I dressed up as Cave Woman (but everyone thought I was Wilma from the Flintstones). Both our costumes had to be family and kid friendly so […]
