After all of the indulgent birthday eats I enjoyed earlier this week, on Friday I really needed to return to my mindful eating groove. Lean Cuisines are one of my favorite quick and easy low-calorie meal options at lunch. I frequently ate these frozen entrées during my years as a busy college undergrad, and now … Continue reading
It’s Ann Arbor Restaurant Week! This January, the promotions will run from January 20 – 25. I have dinner reservations for Thursday and Friday evenings. Have you made yours yet? Biannually, during restaurant week, the huz and I usually go out for a dinner or two, and also like to hit up one restaurant for … Continue reading
It’s amazing how quickly weekends fly by. It seems like I just got out of work for the weekend and now it’s already Sunday evening! I spent most of the weekend in my hometown, co-hosting a bridal shower and attending a bachelorette party for a BFF of mine. We rented a township hall in the … Continue reading
How was your Monday? A little rough from the Daylight Savings time change? Some people get all bent out of shape because of the “loss” of one hour, but it doesn’t really bother me much. I love the extended daylight too much to care about it. Admittedly, last night, Sunday evening, I did “hit a … Continue reading
Have you Ann Arborites been to Dimo’s? I don’t think I would have ever given this place a second glance if it were not for recommendations from others in the area. Dimo’s is located in an area that’s not exactly on my “radar,” over on West Stadium Blvd. This past Saturday I went to grab … Continue reading
Wednesday was a quick and painless work day and I got a bit of an early start to my long holiday weekend! Hooray! I came home and made a nice little lunch. I’ve purchased eight containers of blackberries in the last ten days because they’ve been on sale for $0.50 each! Today I froze three … Continue reading
This is another “everything-I-ate-today” post. Thursday morning necessitated, as always, Espresso Royale coffee. Typical lunch for me lately: Fage yogurt with honey and granola (a few craisins, too) and a frozen Indian entrée. I have a slight obsession with paneer ever since Aarti discussed it on the FoodNet. It’s a fresh, mild Indian cheese you … Continue reading
Howdy! It sure has been a gloomy week. But I heard rumors of 70+ degree weather this weekend. I can handle that! Yesterday I tried out a new (to me) café located just up the street from my office, in the modest village of Dixboro, called Moonwinks. The parking lot and inside were bustling, but … Continue reading
This week I decided not to go grocery shopping. Typically every weekend I plan out the next week of meals and then buy all the groceries on Sunday. Instead, I’m hoping to use up some of the stuff that’s been taking up room in my pantry and freezer. I made all these below meals using … Continue reading
Hey there! You may have noticed a new tab at the top of my homepage: “30 Day Shred.” Today I created this page as a place to chart my progress through the 30 Day Shred. Rather than post updates in my day-to-day posts, I wanted to create a single, organized area to discuss the ‘shred.’ … Continue reading
