(photos coming soon) This recipe is slightly inspired from the Cornbread Muffins recipe found on page 124 in the Power Food Cookbook by Rachael Anne Hill and Tamsin Burnett-Hall. I used their recipe as a base, but put my own spin on the ingredients according to what I had on hand. It’s all about adapting [...]

I LOVE Chocolate! But There is a Dark Side!
I love dark chocolate, and it’s so good for you, as long as you’re eating 70% and higher! But there is a secretive dark side to chocolate (no pun intended) and it’s hidden in the form of cheap, overly-available cocoa! Cocoa products are in high demand, but the cocoa “market” demands low prices. To remain [...]
October Unprocessed 2011 – UPDATE Day #8
Day #8 for the October Unprocessed 2011 challenge over at the Eating Rules blog. It’s been going very well, maybe a tiny flub or two at the beginning, but for the most part, I’m going strong! I was already a fairly “clean” eater but participating in this challenge has forced me to look even deeper [...]

Vacation! ATV Padding, Sugar Overload, & Fun
I haven’t officially weighed-in after coming back from our week-long vacation to the Moosehead Lake area of Maine, but I’m confident I haven’t gained anything permanent. We had a really great time, the campground was on the ATV trail, so we could ride directly from the campground. Because of my weight loss, my back is [...]
Farm Blueberries
Stopped by the local farm today and was so happy to find blueberries. It’s a little too early for local berries, but they were from new jersey, which isn’t too far away. Anyway I had a couple of handfuls and they are delicious. I’m waiting to eat the rest of them tonight! Blueberries rock!!! Summer [...]
