Happy Halloween!!! I had a great time “trick or treating” with my nephews TJ and Talan… they were Transformers!
TJ in his Transformer pose- very serious!
Talan in his Transformer pose- so adorable!
We went trick or treating in my mom’s neighborhood… some houses went all out with the Halloween decorations… we saw a blow-up Haunted House…

Last night’s dinner was adapted from Cooking Light’s Sesame Beef and Asian Vegetable Stir-fry. I changed things up a bit… taking into account what ingredients I had on hand. It turned out pretty tasty!

2 teaspoons of Cornstarch
1 Tablespoon of Sesame Oil
2 teaspoons of Olive Oil

Anyone who knows me well can attest to how much I love breakfast cereal. I eat a bowl of cereal practically every morning. When the results of a new study by Yale University surfaced about cereal, it definitely caught my attention. It confirmed what many of you probably already know… the least nutritious, high-sugar cereals [...]

We arrived bright and early at New Orlean’s City Park. It was a beautiful day with a huge turn out…
I heard the announcer say that 10,000 people were in attendance for the race… And there was pink everywhere!!!
Even [...]
It has been weeks since I had a day that I did not have plans… I love relaxing days when you can sleep late (late for me is 9 am) and take time to enjoy much needed rest and relaxation. Today, Cory had to work so I was on my own. After straightening up around the condo [...]
One of my favorite things is going to the library… I know nerd alert! I was definitely the kid that got excited about the summer reading list. A lot of times I will just wander around a section that I’m interested in until I see a book title that jumps out to me. Ever since [...]
This morning as I turned off my alarm, I was thankful it was Friday… until I realized, It definitely was Thursday, not Friday! Does that ever happen to you? Oh well, it is almost Friday… I’m looking forward to some nice weather in New Orleans this weekend. The forecast for Saturday and Sunday is in [...]
When I looked through the kitchen and realized we were out of many staples such as almond butter, milk, cereal, pasta, rice, bread and wine, I knew I had to make a major grocery trip. The problem is that without a plan I can easily go overboard on food purchases at the grocery… especially at [...]
