Whew, where has the time gone? I apologize for being MIA lately, but life has come along and shifted my time away from the blog. It’s sure is tough fitting it all in as you guys all know, but I’m hanging in there and doing my best to maintain this little corner of the blogosphere that I enjoy so much. I know that posting regularly is the best for readership, but it just doesn’t quite work that way for me now =/ and sometimes there is nothing like a weekend full of good times and good friends.

camera blues
I sent my lens off to Canon last week and hopefully they will be able to send me a new one ASAP. I am sure missing it something fierce. I have an ancient piece of crap to work with and I’m trying to make the best of it. I hope you don’t mind 🙂 I have a great roasted pork loin with POM reduction recipe, along with a new twist on grilled pizza, and my first attempt at making coffee! (more…)

a bit late but Happy Father’s Day!
ooh, sorry for being a missing person lately. Yes, my good ol’ laptop decided to take a dump on me again for a 3rd time!! grrr It was actually pretty funny because Chris and I were talking about how I should get Mozy to back up all my files since my laptop has been so shady, and the moment I tried to then turn it on . . . nuthin’. Yep, it was dead. Another good thing about all this though is that my 2-year performance plan will be up in July, so if it would have waited to die another month or so I would have been sh– out of luck. I’m hoping that they will send me a store credit for a new one since this is the same problem for the third time. *fingers crossed* I do know that I will NOT be getting an AMD processor again. That thing just got too hot and fried itself every time.
I hope you all had a nice Father’s Day! Just a little re-cap of the weekend and our dad’s day celebration . . . (more…)

BBQ pulled pork weekend
Overall it’s been a great weekend and once again I’m sad to see it go! I have a few tasty recipes and a few meet-ups with good friends to share, as well as some reflections on my cycling training so far and my goals for the coming month.
Friday morning I threw a pork loin roast in the crock-pot and we had BBQ pulled pork sandwiches for dinner. I also topped it with marinated veggies and used a whole wheat roll from Great Harvest. Easy! (more…)

waffle heaven
I just have to share the photos from our new favorite waffle recipe! As I mentioned before this banana brownie waffle recipe is from the Meal Makeover Moms and is one of our new favorites. You should also stop by their blog because they are actually giving away a gorgeous waffle maker! How perfect is that? (more…)

Sunday Funday
Boy, Sunday just flew by and was packed with a lot of food!! Hope you had a nice Super Bowl and/or Sunday. I wasn’t really rooting for anyone in particular and only watched maybe the last part of the game (the most thrilling part!), but it was kind of nice to see the underdog win. Sorry Colts fans!
The day started out really nice with a casual and easy breakfast of (more…)

multitasking
Thank you for all your kind words on the site! I’m super excited and happy you guys enjoy it. If you haven’t yet, be sure to enter my giveaway for some Mighty Leaf tea and an Anthro mug here. I first thought I gave the wrong feed address, but it seems that both of the ones below will work when added to your feed. Please let me know if it’s not updating in your reader so I can remedy. I’m a computer retard!

I am having the darndest time getting up in the morning lately! ugh, 5am is just too darn early and when the alarm goes off I moan and groan wishing I could just stop time for a few more hours. I’ve always had this fascination with wanting to be able to stop time. Wouldn’t that be awesome? ha, in the mean time I’ll keep wishing for that day and get my butt out of bed! I think it does have a lot to do with not getting to bed till close to 11pm, which I need to fix.
I’ve been trying to get (more…)

just a quick hello
Hello! I hope you all had a nice week! I think Vegas has gotten more rain in these past 4 days than we have in all last year! Crazy. I can’t believe how much rain California is getting too. Overall this week has been nice, work wasn’t too crazy, I got my committee together for my thesis (finally) and I may be doing a couple cooking classes for Whole Foods! The site is sooo close, but there are a few things that I need help with still, so I just won’t say a date anymore 🙂 ugh. (more…)

it’s already Friday?
Usually the weeks just draaaaag for me, but for some reason this one flew by! Maybe because it was the first week back? Who knows, but that’s alright with me.
Oh boy I am sore from kick-my-butt box on Wednesday! Every little back muscle along my rib cage is sore and of course my bum and abs. I couldn’t manage to make it to 6am spin this morning, but that’s okay because I want to be ready for our Great Harvest Red Rock bike ride on Saturday! I’m looking forward to riding the Red Rock loop for the first time. It’s about 41 miles and Great Harvest is providing breakfast for us before the ride, yay!
Yesterday morning I put all the prepped ingredients in the crock-potfor a stew to be ready for us when we got home. I’m in love with this new crock-pot and it’s so much bigger than my old one! I would highly recommend this one because it has several different cooking settings and a probe insert. (more…)
