Easter Week
Well, last week was just as uneventful as any other, but I have been trying to enjoy cooking, organizing, reading, and doing home workouts. I have been trying to limit grocery shopping to once every two weeks, and I have been using Aldi delivery and Target drive-up, both of which are really easy to use. … Continue reading Easter Week
Catch-Up Post
Hello--it's Sunday evening and we just had a fifty-degree day in Chicago. Julian, Oliver, and I spent it in the woods. I had a full week of healthy eating, workouts, and doctor appointments, so I'll try to bring things up to speed here starting from last Sunday. I spent the morning grading. Sometimes, it's really … Continue reading Catch-Up Post
A Brief Weekly Recap
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
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
Fried Cauliflower Rice w/ Tofu “Egg”
I like to include plant-based meals in my week as much as possible, not only because of the nutritional benefits, but because of the the ways it can help the environment. Eating plant-based meals several times a week can help reduce your carbon footprint, minimize water usage/waste, and help lessen risk of heart disease, cancer, … Continue reading Fried Cauliflower Rice w/ Tofu “Egg”

Caprese-Style Baked Chicken
Hello, all! It's another beautiful evening in Chicago and I just finished up a Flexibility and Strength yoga flow with Sanela. I had all the windows open to let in some fresh air, a Bath & Body Works scented candle going, and a Synergy Gingerberry kombucha. I feel loose and relaxed and wanted to take … Continue reading Caprese-Style Baked Chicken
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.

Spiralized Beet “Pasta”
If you're anything like me, you probably thought beets were gross as a kid. To me, they just seemed sort of slimy, and I couldn't seem to get into the taste. Later on, my mom introduced me to sauteed beet greens, and I liked those, so I thought I might give them another chance. I've … Continue reading Spiralized Beet “Pasta”
