Sometimes in life you do issues you aren’t proud of. Like that time I went to Chick-Fil-A and ordered their poultry nuggets because I had been starving. At the moment little chicken breast nuggets (bites of child years joy) dipped in BBQ sauce sounded completely tremendous. Just what a mistake which was! The chicken nuggets were covered within a ridiculous amount grease (I literally had butterfingers) as well as the breading wasn’t crispy, but rather soggy. The complete meal simply tasted like hydrogenated natural oils. I experienced like I used to be committing a crime against my heart.

BUT let me tell you something even more disturbing: We ate them anyway. Ew… I understand. Perhaps since it was one of those days where I was really hungry, stressed, and greasy chicken nuggets appeared to rationalize hating my work. All I needed was just a little bite of comfort and ease… but even loadingRead more

I have no idea why but drinking a large cup of hot cocoa before bed makes me incredibly happy. Just one of my newfound obsessions. Other activities I’m into lately consist of cinnamon roasted almonds, smiling at everyone I find, working out to the song , and avoiding traffic all the time. At one point this week I was contemplating buying a bus so I could ride the shoulder. It was the only alternative I could think about until I discovered the DC Metro. Very good news: since I won’t be investing in a bus, you remain safe on the road.

Besides that I’ve been mega busy! Get together fabulous new friends, training at 5am (it has to be performed), and focusing on my 23 items list I’ve got a few checked off. It’s restaurant week in DC aswell, which means I finally got to knowledge lobster for the first time. Baklava as well! Finally theRead more

In the event that you lived beside me, you’d understand that I more often than not need to end each meal (or the night) with a little something sweet. I have a sense that we’re very similar in our fondness for better-for-you goodies, am I ideal?!

All I understand is that I can’t feel confident and slam down an extra large blizzard or cherry dipped cone on a regular basis. I’m also sensing that I would end up being craving DQ here. Haven’t acquired a Dilly in wayyyy too much time. In all seriousness, I wish to have the ability toRead more

So I know, zucchini isn’t really in period in January; it’s even more of a summer time vegetable. Nevertheless, I purchased several the other day before holiday because these were pretty inexpensive at the grocery store AND because I used to be planning on producing stuffed zucchini. Well, needless to say things never go as prepared and I never had the chance to use them up before I still left.

Admittedly, I really like baking with zucchini as Personally i think it eliminates the need for excess oil or butter in recipes. Typically the zucchini provides enough moisture to cut most fat in two and add extra fibers and nutrition. Soon I’ll find a way to include it into some gluten free of charge goodies.Read more
