Inspired by this post, I thought I would share some of my drool-worthy cookie recipes. I fully support the idea of randomly giving people cookies to brighten their day. It would certainly brighten mine! If I were to randomly bake you some cookies, which one would you like?? Brown Sugar Blueberry Cookies by howsweeteats White [...]

Once again, I’m totally addicted to trying things that are supposed to change my life and make me a better person. In other words, following an outlined plan that involves eating really crappy food and doing exercises that totally suck. ha ha. I started on this because I read about Bon Apetit’s “foodie detox” through [...]

I was just thinking about how I can get more greens into my and boyrobot’s diet. Boyrobot barely eats any veggies and although I don’t mind it, I’m almost always caught choosing french fries rather than steamed veggies as my side :P (So bad I know!) And then I started reading about all of these [...]

So I did it! Well I am in the process of doing it. I finally made chicken broth from scratch. It’s actually very easy and not that much of an accomplishment but I really wanted to try making it at least once. I used this recipe from the Soup Chick because originally I was going [...]

Wow. I can’t believe it’s 2011! Each year, I like to make new year’s resolutions. Sadly, they rarely come through but for at least the first few months I attempt at bettering myself so that’s better than nothing I guess. :) My top resolutions this year are to: 1. prioritize my life better so I [...]

I’m so happy I got to be home for our very first halloween in our new house. Even though I only had a few days to decorate, I made the most of my time I think. This was the very first time boyrobot and I carved pumpkins. We had so much fun doing it that [...]

I just found an exercise video that I actually enjoy! I mean as much as I can enjoy an exercise video. :P I think I like it because it’s only 20 mins long and the moves are not too hard. At first, I experienced some knee pain but the more I did it the better [...]

I go through food phases where I eat one thing straight for like a week and then I get really sick of it. Right now I am obsessed with sandwiches. I just had a pimiento cheese and spinach sandwich. yum! i’ve also been eating all of my sandwiches with whole grain bread. healthy! other sandwiches [...]

So everywhere we go we are hearing WEAR SUNSCREEN but did you know it turns out that only 8% of the sunscreens out there are even “safe”???? I checked my favorite sunscreen that I always use, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch, and was disappointed to see it was rated a 7 which is in the [...]
