Easing back into a routine . . .

I think most of us indulge a bit over vacation. Overall, I feel like a did better than vacations in the past and really tried to listen to my body and feed it what (and in the appropriate amount) it was telling me instead of eating too much cheese on the cheese tray because it was too [...]

IN-N-OUT BURGERS

The Bishops have had a long-standing tradition of having IN-N-OUT burgers for lunch at least once a summer. To be honest they are not my favorite burgers but many Californians swear by the place. They did look pretty tasty today (I had a late breakfast so did not indulge ) While writting I decided that [...]

A healthy big mac?!

The other night Will made burgers and proceeded to build his version of a healthy big mac. I had to take pictures and tell you all about it!  About once a  month we make burgers with lean hamburgar.

How to find healthy recipes . . .

In my nutrition class last Saturday at Qi I was asked a great question;  “How do you know if a recipe is healthy or not?” You can find recipes from “healthy” books or websites (some of my favs or epicurious – look for the broccoli icon to indicate healthy or self.com) but what if you come across [...]

Busy, Busy Day and Yummy leftovers

I am ready for vacation ! Wrapping up everything at work before you go away is always a bit stressful and I find I can push myself too much trying to get it all done. Work is busy plus packing, leaving the house clean (hate coming home to a dirty house), laundry, and I like to workout [...]

Getting ready for a summer vacation?

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend . I had a busy Saturday with work and classes (a 1 hour kick-your-butt bootcamp class then 30 minutes of yoga before I taught my nutrition class at Qi) then I rushed off to meet Will to go camping. Camping is the best because it forces you to slow down and [...]
