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 […]

Summer is here, or at least that’s how it feels like the last few days. The weather is so beautiful today, and because I am working on a holiday, I feel like am missing out. I should be outside having a picnic or frolicking at the beach. I had a very fun weekend hiking at […]

I grew up in a household with my 4 sisters and my step mom and dad. Both of my parents worked and all the kids were involved in after school activities, so evenings are the only time we all sit together and see each other. I have fond memories of my step mom cooking […]
We had plenty of rain this past weekend so I took advantage of us being forced indoors to do some baking. I also had plenty of babysitters since my mom and brothers stayed over, so I went thru my list of recipes to make and picked one that looked good at the moment. I […]
I am the oldest of four girls. I love my sisters and wanted each one of them to be part of the wedding. My sister Berna was my maid of honor and my sisters Hazel and Janell did a reading during the ceremony. Hazel read a poem. When two people join together and bond their lives […]

Going to Disneyland during holiday season is so magical. It is so festive. Our weather in Southern California has been really really cold. It’s around mid […]
