Four Years Ago

January 29, 2010

Four years ago today, I went on a walk by the lake with a boy.

  

Two weeks later, this boy surprised me with an a cappella show in my dorm for Valentine’s Day.

Two and a half years later, this boy took me on a picnic and to the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. There, he gave [...]

The last week in January is always Madison Restaurant Week. A slew of restaurants offer 3 or 4 course dinners for $25, and a handful have 3 course lunches for $15. The fact that my and Dan’s anniversary is always during Restaurant Week gives us the chance to experience a new restaurant that would otherwise [...]

Protein-Pumped Pasta

January 26, 2010

I wanted a protein-filled lunch for three reasons today.

I had my first spinning class today! (Which, by the way, kicked my booty. I will be going back, though!)
I did an intense weights workout this morning.
I’m having a late dinner tonight with Kelley and Amanda at the Melting Pot, and need something to hold me over [...]

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites (and a Winner)

January 25, 2010

This holiday season, I fell in love with Jessica’s Cookie Dough Truffles the very first time I made them. Dan and I liked them so much, in fact, that I made them two more times, at the Cooking for College Students Class and on Christmas Eve for my family and friends.
As much as I love [...]

The Little Things #8

January 21, 2010

Today has been kind of an ‘ick’ day…which means that it is the perfect day to share some more ‘Little Things That Make Me Happy!’
1. My new friend broke today. That is not the little thing making me happy. What is making me happy is that it is under warranty, and shall therefore be replaced [...]

Win a Case of Chobani!

January 20, 2010

A few weeks ago, Chobani was kind enough to send me a sample of each of their new flavors.

I received a container of non-fat Raspberry and a container of low-fat Strawberry Banana.
Both flavors have that smooth Chobani texture and taste that we all know and love!

I have been hoping for a raspberry Greek yogurt for [...]

An Ode to Quinoa

January 17, 2010

Though most people think of quinoa as a lunch or dinner meal, my favorite time of day to eat it is for breakfast.

…Because of this, I will not be posting the recipe in the near future, as I hope you will bid on them for this great cause instead.
