Oh, Yummy Judaism.

Yesterday, Dan and I celebrated Rosh Hashanah with a very yummy Jewish Apple Cake. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Jewish holiday, Rosh Hashanah is, in its simplest terms, the Jewish New Year. The holiday is a celebration of a new beginning, and certain foods, such as apples and honey, are consumed [...]

Try This Bar!!

Good morning, lovely readers!
So, y’all know that I am a devout Larabar lover. But I just have to introduce to you this bar that I had the opportunity to try this weekend. This Kardea Nutrition Bar was sent to me last week from founder Rob Leighton along with a few others to try …. people [...]

Strawberries + Cereal = Mmm, mmm, mmm!

OK, so I have a new favorite cereal. I know, can you believe it?! Something other than my beloved shredded oats. (: I just found these babies yesterday, and, boy, are they yummy.

Weekend Breakfast and a Recipe for You!

Now, I have not yet tried the Summer Berry, but if it is anywhere near as good as [...]

Like It, Love It, Gotta Have Ice Cream Now!

I hugely indulged last night — something that was very much so unnecessary after my New York City cheesecake binge.
But I did it anyway.
Dan and I decided to “get out of the house for a change” and apparently that equates taking a trip to Cold Stone Creamery.
Now, if you are unfamiliar with this joint, lemme [...]

Health Check for The Day!

Several studies suggest that the size of the plate we eat on has a serious effect on our caloric intake. So, next time you are at a buffet, pick the smaller dish, such as the salad plate. It will seem like you’ve eaten a lot more than you have, and your stomach won’t know the [...]
