Quinoa Pumpkin Seed Granola

January 10, 2013 by Melissa

So I’m not really avoiding planning my wedding. I’m just hoping that it all magically gets done without me putting forth much effort. I do what I’m supposed to do: I ask the venue for suggestions for DJ’s and flowers, photographers and caterers…then when they send me an email with lots of names and phone numbers, I file it away in the folder marked “wedding.” Did I book a DJ yet? No, but … [Read more...]

Greek Yogurt Breakfast Tart

January 8, 2013 by Melissa

So another season of The Biggest Loser has started, and that always gives me a burst of motivation.   Biggest Loser night used to be a ritual for me in college. I would go get dinner from Chick-Fil-A (the only night of the week I would get fast food), then hunker down and watch the first hour. By the time the second hour and eliminations started, I was face-deep into a pint of Ben & … [Read more...]

Egg White Oats

January 7, 2013 by Melissa

This recipe for Egg White Oats is the basic and original version of the ultimate protein and fiber-packed breakfast! You can jazz it up with whatever toppings and mix-ins you like, but this is the way to make those oats you keep seeing on Instagram and Facebook!  So I’ve been trying to be really good on my new meal plan set out for me by my trainer. It’s really strict… i.e. it’s no … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter “Cheesecake” Swirl Brownies

January 2, 2013 by Melissa

If you said you were going to give up all sweets... don't throw stones. But! Just know, that you will have way more success if you reduce your sweets and not eliminate them all together. Just sayin. I had a fabulous break and cried all the way home because I just hate going back to reality... Yes, I cried. Stop laughing at me. Anyways, I made these fabulous brownies to ring … [Read more...]

Let’s Go To Vegas!!

January 1, 2013 by Melissa

But, we had such a great time! Here's a taste of what we saw...and what we tasted.   We drove past all of those famous windmills in the desert...and all of the famous outlet malls too!

Apple Cinnamon Cereal Bars – Hug a Teacher

December 20, 2012 by Melissa

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been making a ton of cookies lately. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love cookies. And I love baking cookies, but it can get exhausting. That’s why I love having simple, yet interesting recipes that can be thrown together in a snap. A no bake treat? Even better! These feel very appropriate at the moment, too. I think that in light of recent events, we … [Read more...]

Yawn! Stretch!   “Morning Dearest. I made you some pancakes.”   “Oh for me?! You shouldn’t have! Can we go shopping? I need some new diamond earrings.”   “Of course darling. But first eat your breakfast; you need sustenance for the long day of shopping we have ahead of us.”   Oh wow! Fantasy me had a very lovely morning. Cough cough...crickets … [Read more...]
