Hi, friends! How was your weekend? Mine was full of lots of pool time and friend time! I swear, only in Arizona is it warm enough in APRIL to get in the pool. On Friday night my Mom came over, we ordered takeout from a pub down the street and watched Harry Potter and the […]
Thanks for your messages and comments yesterday! My strategies worked paired with a good night sleep and I am feeling much better! I plan to take it easy this weekend, get some time by the pool, finish the Harry Potter saga, and eat pizza. All the good stuff! Before we get to the usual Friday […]
Yesterday wasn't the worst day in the world, just a bad day. I could go on and on and on about the things that didn't go my way, but it really doesn't matter. What matters is how you turn those days around right? I'll be honest I never fully turned my whole day around, but […]
Last week, I shared in my Friday Favorites post a podcast that my SIL sent me that really made me think about my experience as an only child. So I thought I'd share some of those with you today. I think only children often get a really bad rep, and like any stereotype, I think […]

I'm just popping in to share with a smoothie I've been enjoying almost every single day for lunch. It's super creamy, filling, […]
Did you know that Monday was National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day? Similar to bananas (see Are bananas bad for you?), I often get asked if a good old fashion PB & J sandwich is healthy? Sometimes people ask for their kids, and sometimes they ask for themselves as a quick, low-cost lunch option. Let's […]
Hi, friends! First up, have you entered the Instant Pot Giveaway yet? Make sure you do that! How was your Easter? Or how was your weekend (if you don't celebrate Easter)? We had a pretty nice weekend indeed! Minus the whole getting up for mass at 5 am thing, we chose the 6 am mass because […]

Hi friends! What are your plans for this weekend? Happy Easter by the way! Usually, we take Grandma to Whole Foods and have a nice meal sitting outside. But, last year their hot bar kind of disappointed, they didn't really have traditional Easter foods like they did in the years past. Plus, their carrot cake […]
These muffins are packed with good for you ingredients but then cream cheese frosting slathered on to of these babies disguises any shred of healthiness! Full disclosure, I reshot and updated this recipe from 2014! It's a good one! You guys know that I love my quinoa breakfast bars (apple cinnamon, pumpkin apple, cranberry date, […]
Hi friends! It's been I don't even know how long since my last coffee update so I thought it was time! I chose ice coffee because it's suppose to hit 90's this weekend, so if we were grabbing coffee together mine would be iced coffee. Mine would also be decaf coffee, yep I'm 100% fully […]
Hi friends! Over the weekend one of my bestest friends in the world got married. Unfortunately, I couldn't commit to going because after my back flare in the fall, because I wasn't sure how things would go. I wanted her to know how much I care and that I was thinking of her so I […]

Super easy to whip up they are a great springtime or anytime dessert! Happy almost Friday. Does anyone else feel like Thursdays are a relief, […]
Yesterday I woke up at 5 am to use the bathroom and basically laid in bed till Mr. Hungry's alarm went off at 6:30 am. That almost never happens to me, I thought about getting up but I was too tired to get up (without coffee ha ha) but couldn't sleep. When I woke up […]
Hi, friends! I'm updating this post from 2014 and posting today! Hope you enjoy! I love shrimp; it easily makes the list of my top ten favorite foods. It is so versatile, move over tuna… shrimp is the real chicken of the sea. Except it’s easier to prepare than chicken (assuming you live […]
Bananas are hands down my FAVORITE fruit. I love them in all forms, but they have to be cold. Probably why one of my favorite treats of all time is chocolate-dipped bananas. My students and my clients often have this preconceived notion that bananas are the highest sugar fruit on the planet, and therefore you […]
We are gonna breeze right over whatever the heck happened last night to UA basketball, I don't even know. All I can say is I hope Buffalo goes all the way so I can feel better about losing to them. It's been interesting week friends, I was on spring break from teaching which gave me […]
