Hey everybody! This is Christine, the NMA’s little sister. I’m so excited to be writing this guest post! After all, I have been a busy bee following this blog, commenting, sharing it on Facebook, working on the logo, and trying out the recipes for myself. Now it’s my turn to share what I love: desserts! …
Sounds like most of the challengers are sticking with it! I was a little concerned that not many comments were coming in, thinking you had all bailed on me. Then I remembered that I didn’t post yesterday until almost five P.M., so it was my fault for throwing off everyone’s routine. Anyway, if you’re wavering,…
Today marks two weeks since I’ve had any caffeinated coffee! This 30-Day Challenge has definitely made me realize one thing–30 days is a long time. When I first committed to this, I was worried that it wouldn’t really be enough time to break the habit. But let me tell you, these first two weeks have…

I did it! I finished the Bel Air Town Run today in 19:16, well under my goal time of 19:59. 49th place overall, just like last weekend (weird huh?). This is a 6:13 per-mile pace. A few months ago, before I got injured and before I stopped eating meat, I ran three miles at 6:30…

Just a quick one today; I’m hard at work on my new Veggie Cooking Tips page. It’s coming along well and shaping up to be a really good resource for those new to cooking. I wish I’d have had it when I started! It really could be called “How to Follow Recipes,” because it’s much…

Amazing Grass I’ve been big on greens recently. Whereas I used to think about protein, carbohydrate, and fat numbers when I planned meals, nowadays it’s all about how many vegetables I can get. I’m not ready to proclaim myself one of those alkaline dieters yet, but there is a noticeable increase in the level of…
