It is Sunday morning and I just ate some soup for breakfast. Kind of weird, but it was a good way to start my day off with some nutrients. I made a soup with a bone broth base and added sauteed onion and garlic, carrots, celery, cauliflower, purple potatoes, and kale, and it was pretty … Continue reading A Brief Weekly Recap

This week, I've been thinking about some of my plans and goals for 2020, reflecting on my health … Continue reading First Week of 2020 Recap
Weird Week Between Christmas/New Year’s Recap
Hello, all. I left off around this time last week. This week has been pretty slow at work since a lot of people took off, and it was kind of slow at home, too. I guess it's sort of nice to slow down. I always seem to be moving at such a fast pace that … Continue reading Weird Week Between Christmas/New Year’s Recap
Veggie-packed Autumn Soup
One of my favorite ways to get veggies in is through soup, chili, and casserole, because you can throw a ton of things in there. When I was grocery shopping the other day, I came across some acorn squash and thought a fall soup would be nice on such a cold day. For this soup, … Continue reading Veggie-packed Autumn Soup
A Look Back at My Week
Hello! It's been a crazy week, and I haven't had much time to do anything. I seem to have developed a sinus infection last Sunday, so I was fighting it all week and had to take a small break from my workouts. The week didn't exactly go as planned in terms of my general fitness … Continue reading A Look Back at My Week

Tomorrow, the new semester of school starts, so I was busy all weekend preparing for the course, but I did have some time to throw this refreshing salad together to bring to my friend's barbecue. It's very easy … Continue reading Southwest Corn Salad
Homemade Potato Salad
When I make any dishes associated with picnics/barbecues/parties, I like to be adventurous and think outside the box, but this Fourth of July, my husband was sick and we didn't end up going to any parties, so I decided to make some more "traditional" dishes so we could still experience some of the fun. I … Continue reading Homemade Potato Salad

I had a pretty busy week, and I'll take it back to Monday, when I got back from Washington. The day started off super-rainy, and I was kind of bummed because … Continue reading Weekly Recap
Low-Carb Fajita-Style Shrimp & Cauliflower Rice!
I have been moving non-stop today, and I finally took a moment to sit down and blog about the dinner I just made. The weather in Chicago was absolutely beautiful today. I got out of work at 5 and put my roller blades on and skated for 4 miles. Then, I walked Oliver for 1 … Continue reading Low-Carb Fajita-Style Shrimp & Cauliflower Rice!
Crispy Baked Tofu!
Happy Saturday, everyone! It's a beautiful, balmy 78 degrees here in Chicago, and I'm planning to head over to a local forest preserve after writing this post. Because tofu can be kind of difficult to work with, I think it gets a bad rap. It can be a little time-consuming to properly prepare it, but … Continue reading Crispy Baked Tofu!
