We use Sundays to do meal prep of sorts for the week. Any given Sunday usually involves some type of cooking, baking, chopping, etc. for the week’s planned meals. Lately, I am obsessed with chickpeas. WW (f/n/a Weight Watchers) paired with Biena, a food company, and introduced dried chickpeas. The salted flavor is amazing. I…
Souffle: An airy based dish that combines beaten egg whites with a flavorful base. A couple of months ago, we visited a restaurant in Dallas called Rise No. 1. It is a wonderful restaurant that serves soufflés of every type imaginable – main course and dessert. We thoroughly enjoyed the service, the food more specifically…
Fruit. Eggs. Oatmeal. Yogurt. Smoothie. These are the staples for our breakfasts to go. Because we both work, we usually take breakfast with us to the office. I was not a breakfast fan until I learned how it played into my weight loss and my weight maintenance. I used to eat as little as possible…

The room was not a small room by European standards but the hotel crammed too much furniture into the too small space leaving little to no room for maneuvering for two people. We also had a problem with…

And with it, Bullion is both shouting its gold-plated existence and declaring its intentions to its would-be…
May has been one of the months that has tested my resolve for staying at home and cooking. I have no logistical explanation as to why – other than we live in Texas and it has been unusually hot. But admittedly, I have also been starving so it may be mind over matter too. Instant…
One day in a Weight Watchers meeting, a member mentioned Mason jar salads. She said it was the easiest way to prepare salads ahead of time and prevent the salad from getting soggy from the dressing. This was genius to me. Did I try it right away? No. I don’t do anything right away. I…
Steve and I made a deal when we married. We promised each other we would travel. We promised ourselves one major trip a year and then smaller short getaways throughout the year with the goal of traveling once each quarter, if possible. I know what you are thinking – you make promises, you have high…
Some weeks I plan a meal for each night of the week from Saturday to Friday. Some weeks I know we will have leftovers or we will go out for dinner and then I do not plan as many meals. Sometimes I over plan the meals and that just means I carry over our meal…
