Breakfast this morning was a big bowl of steel cut oats. This was my first time trying steel cut oats and I really liked them. It’s a much coarser grain than regular oatmeal so it takes a little more time to cook up. I got these oats from Trader Joe’s and they are microwavable. I had […]
So 2 years ago, I drove down to New Orleans with a bunch of friends and we celebrated Mardi Gras. This year is definitely not quite as adventurous. I remember being so thirsty one morning in NOLA that I woke up, went down to the hotel bar, and asked for some fruit. Wonder why I […]
This weekend was full of good eats. I tend to go out to eat a lot on the weekends just out of habit and I usually always eat less healthy meals at restaurants. My tip is to try and eat slow to avoid over eating the large portions. I definitely enjoyed eating all of the […]

Cheers to the weekend! I’m currently eating my lunch that I threw together this morning. I’ve been eating a lot of salads this week and the trick is dressing them up with different ingredients. I added a fried egg, shrimp, grape tomatoes, and goat cheese to this. Since I’m out of salsa, I added Teriyaki […]
