It was a gloomy weekend here in Richmond, and when the weather is like this, all I seem to want to do is curl up in bed and drink coffee. Of course, after an hour or so, I can’t sit still, and I’m like a child who needs to be taken out of the house….

Glory Foods Chili
Friday afternoon, Alex and I headed back to Ohio to spend the weekend visiting my friends and family back home. It was a busy weekend filled with lots of laughter and family time. I feel so blessed to come home to such wonderful people. We also got great weather, which meant we hit the driving…
Vegetarian Beer Dinner
I’m going to start off by saying, I’m not really much of a beer drinker. I love wine, I’ll enjoy the occasional cocktail, and I’ve started sipping cider, but I’m still not a beer lover. That said, this vegetarian beer dinner was the perfect opportunity for me to sample a variety of brews, and get…
Smoked Gouda Grilled Cheese
Creamy smoked gouda, caramelized onions, and juicy tomato make a delicious grilled cheese that can be made in just a few minutes! If you want to take your sandwich to the next level, this gouda grilled cheese is the answer! I had the Smoked Gouda Panini from Ipanema Cafe on my mind, and I figured…
A Day of Eats in Austin
Ironically, as I was snapping a photo of my morning coffee, I was sitting in a SXSW interactive session called “Eating to Live Online: Virtual Food & Real Life” which was a panel session about, well, this. They started with the question “Does anyone really care what you’re eating?” And where it landed was, well,…

Over the past few months, I’ve had a lot of people tell me they want to start eating more vegetarian meals. Maybe it’s resolutions for the new year, or maybe it’s just curiosity, but I realized I haven’t really blogged much about being a vegetarian. That’s actually intentional on my part, because I never want…
First Eats of the New Year
Happy New Year! I rang in 2013 with lots of my favorite people, so it doesn’t get better than that! I don’t know how I got so lucky to be surrounded by so many amazing friends, but I’m pretty thankful. I was hoping to start off the new year with the Tone It Up meal…
What I Learned…
This is it! I’m in the final week of the Get Well Challenge! It’s been a great three months, and I’ve had so much fun with the challenges, and I’m thankful that Ellwood Thompson gave me the opportunity to participate! I lost a little weight, I lowered my body fat a bit, and I learned a…
Calorie Tracking
If you’ve ever tried to lose weight (or even just stay on track) you’ve probably considered food journaling. I’m actually a huge fan of it, because it can be really interesting to see the big picture of what you’re eating. You might not realize that you’re getting too much protein, or too little fiber, or…
New Foods & Old Favorites
After what felt like the longest food rut ever, I finally have a few new foods to share with you. New cereal, new snacks, and a new spin on Friday’s recipe. I had a new-to-me breakfast. It was actually too cold for me to make a smoothie. I end up shivering by the end of breakfast. Plus, I…
