PB & Jelly Ice Cream

I think I’m in love. With (vegan!!) peanut butter and jelly ice cream. Seriously, last night’s treat was life changing. But let’s rewind… Thursday breakfast was coffee, cherries, Oikos vanilla greek yogurt, and 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch. Lots of protein and fiber – very filling! My morning passed very quickly and before I [...]

House Hunters

All day I kept thinking that it was Thursday, when it was actually only Wednesday. This has been quite a busy and long week…I need some R & R! Besides being a little stressed, I had quite the productive day. Breakfast was coffee, dark, sweet cherries (love these!), 1 cup low fat plain yogurt, and [...]

Spinning My Wheels

Congrats commentor #3 - Whit’s Getting Fit! Email your address and I will send you the Newman’s goodies :-) 3 Timestamp: 2009-07-29 14:16:56 UTC Well, summer has finally made an appearance in New York City. As I left my air-conditioned bedroom on Tuesday, I was blasted with a wave of heat and humidity. I won’t complain though – [...]

Newman’s Own Organics Giveaway!

I’ll admit it – I have a serious sweet tooth. As much as I love fruits and veggies – I can’t live without my chocolate and cookies! Luckily, Newman’s Own Organics makes a line of organic (and better for you!) snacks that I can feel good about indulging in. Not to be confused with the [...]

Cardamom Peach Pie

It’s peach season here in the Northeast and ripe, juicy peaches are available in abundance. When I saw a recipe for Peach Cardamom Pie in the August issue of Bon Appetit magazine I knew I had to bake one for myself. I followed the directions exactly (no whole wheat flour substitutions this time…) because baking [...]

Blast from the Past

Half-Day Friday

Hooray for Fridays! I started my day with a big bowl of Fage 0% greek yogurt, a cup of blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries, and a serving of Heritage Grains cereal. It was delicious, but my bowl was overflowing. I had to carefully eat the top layer to prevent the flakes from spilling out :-) The [...]

Fire House

Thursday morning was an earlyyy one – alarm went off at 6:25am. I stumbled out of bed and groggily made my way to the subway platform (stopping for at the coffee cart first , of course!). I had a doctor’s appointment at 8am, so there was no time to waste. All went well with my appointment and I [...]

Just Beet It

Hooray, we’re half-way through the week! Actually, I’m a little more than half-way through my week because I’m leaving the office at 1pm on Friday :-) My Wednesday began the usual way – coffee with milk and a few minutes to check my email. However, when I started to pour my coffee I noticed that [...]
