frugal eats + a confession

Filed under: Dinner,Fitness/Health,Reviews — Tags: , , , , — Kristen :) @ 8:55 pm

Alright, alright, I confess!  So I had a slip-up with the Eat In Month Challenge last weekend and it wasn’t a mistake 😉  With Chris being away for work, I needed some socializing and I couldn’t help NOT going out with girlfriends!!  I hadn’t hung out like that in awhile and it was fun!  A nice dinner and then a round of cosmic bowling left us so tired there was no room left for dancing, just yawning.  I think I’m getting old when 9:30 rolls around and I’m pooped!  But I do sport those bowling shoes well . . . hehe   (more…)

Hi there!  Happy Friday!  I was able to make it to a great spin class this morning and my legs are getting back into the swing of things 🙂  I was still a little sore from a killer kick-my-butt box class Wednesday night.  That class always kicks my booty 🙂  I’ve also been trying to make sleep my number one priority and to get to bed by at least 10pm.  I usually get caught up on blog reading late into the night, hence my lack of reading/posting 🙁  I’ve been lacking in the sleep department and I can totally tell how it effects everything, so I need to change that for the better!

Last night I tried nutritional yeast for the first time on baked kale chips and I think I really like it!  It has a nice, toasty ‘cheesy’ flavor along with a great amount of B vitamins, protein and fiber.  Why hadn’t I tried this before???  Averie has some killer nooch recipes (as she calls it), and they look quite tasty.   (more…)

spice up your health

I love adding various spices to my dishes, because they can provide an intense depth of flavor without having to add a lot of extra fat or sodium.  One of my favorites to add to savory dishes is cinnamon.  Just a dash gives it a nice depth of warmth and rounds out the overall flavor of the dish without necessarily tasting like cinnamon.  I think I sprinkle cinnamon on pretty much everything!  Did you know that 1/2 tsp of cinnamon has as many antioxidants as a 1/2 cup of raspberries?  Another great one is cayenne.  McCormick sent me some educational materials in the mail and I thought I would share their top seven spices for your health.  Each one of these (more…)

soups on!

When Chris and I both got home tonight we were pooped!  Chris was feeling less than stellar from a crazy day at work, and we were really contemplating just grabbing something to eat out, but with a few days still left for the Eat In Month Challenge we just decided it would be better to stay in.  Plus, I had ingredients ready to go for some (more…)

going crazy with CSS

Whew!  I’ve been trying to work on designing the new template for many hours today and I think my head is about ready to explode!!!  I first got a theme template from a site called VivaThemes and I was not impressed at all.  I liked the overall look of the theme, but I also spent many hours to find it was not user-friendly, customizable and the customer service was terrible.  Even worse I couldn’t get a refund, which is a load of crap.  I would not recommend, but I won’t rant on about that . . .

I did find a new theme that is much more user friendly and I’ve been spending more time trying to figure it out.  While I will have to eventually code certain things, it just seems better so I guess it’s worth it.  ugh!!! (more…)
