I’m fortunate to have been on a number of wonderful vacations in my life (London, Spain and Austria just within the past year!) I guess that’s one of the perks of being in a long distance relationship, eh? After spending the past week relaxing in Miami, I thought it would be timely to begin writing [...]

Good morning! An 8am date with the treadmill at the hotel gym sure did get me going this morning. I usually consider treadmill runs over 3 miles to be a form of torture but this morning, 5 miles flew by thanks to a speedy pace (7.0mph/8:34 minute miles) and dialing up an episode of my favorite [...]

With my graduate school comprehensive exam just one week from tomorrow, time is of the essence this week.  There’s no time to futz around in the kitchen with all of the studying I have to do! I had some rather wilted spinach in the fridge that was a little too droopy for a salad, so [...]

It turns out that popcorn might be better for you than vegetables. At least that’s the latest buzz after new research came out last week claiming that popcorn has more polyphenols, a type of antioxidant, than an entire days worth of fruits and veggies. I had homemade popcorn for dinner last night to celebrate the [...]
