Healthy Lunch Ideas – Make Your Lunch Great!

Evening everyone! I’m writing this as I watch some particularly mind-numbing television including a couple of ANTM episodes, and currently the reality series “High Society” on the CW.

I didn’t make it to Frances tonight. (I will soon! I will!) I made it to my couch. And then briefly to the kitchen. And then back to my couch. I’m actually still sitting here. Boy, was I exhausted! Somewhere in the depths of my freezer, I had this amazing portion of curried butternut squash [...]

It’s a light breakfast this morning to make up for last nights gluttony. I got in my 10,000 steps yesterday, but taking public transportation home from Oakland took me over an hour and a half. Sleepy!!!! I decided to skip the coffee for some ginger tea – just a nob of ginger steeped in some [...]
