I discovered this dip when I was making lasagna last week.  I couldn’t quit licking the spoon as I was putting the lasagna together. Think of that when you come to my house for dinner!  It’s an easy and yummy to make veggies less “veggie” tasting and it will help you stay in those “skinny” […]

Hope you had a good President’s Day weekend.  We went to the snow and I threw about 5000 snowballs and trekked up a hillside carrying an inner tube.  I hope I burned a lot of calories because I consumed a lot of calories. Oooops.  Whenever I could I pretended like I was a some sort […]

A month ago, I started lifting weights, eating 5 meals, and doing HIIT.  I think I’ve gotten the hang of the entire combination, I feel great, I feel stronger, I’ve increased weights, etc.  I’m even enjoying it!   But when do you start to see results? I’m so happy to hear you have found a […]

I was at a The Corner Bakery Cafe in Burbank the other day and saw on the table behind me two unfinished desserts.  “What in the world??” Here’s a close up.  Yes I looked like a freak getting up and taking pictures of people’s uneaten food. Two half eaten pastries. Who does this???  Actually there […]

I’m not crazy about vegetables. But I eat them and try to eat a lot of them because I know they are good for me.  It’s still a struggle and I make a daily effort to get them down.  I’ve found stir fry to be one of the best ways to eat a large serving […]

Happy Monday friends.  Hope you had a great weekend.  I struggled with my food all weekend.  Today I’m getting back on track and taking it one meal at a time.  Mini-goals.  So far so good.  If I get past the 3 pm CRAZY carb cravings I’ll be good until after dinner.  Then I’ll just one […]

Okay enough of the Britney references.  Here’s a question that was emailed to me a few days ago.  What is HIIT cardio and what does it entail? HIIT cardio is a form of torture derived from the prisons of Abkhazia. Not really.  HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training.   In a nutshell, it is a series […]

It might not seem like it but I actually have interests other than fitness and food.  I’ve been trying to get up early for weeks so I can start writing another screenplay.  You can see a trailer my short film, Sunny Life here. I weight about 25 more pounds than I  do now and I […]

I really  have to give credit to my husband for this chili.  I love cook but I have to say he really is the better cook of us two.  Whenever I make something he always suggests adding this or that.  He has a real knack for being able to make a good dish great.  This […]

Besides being a (recovering) sugar addict, I’m also an internet addict.  Our internet went out Saturday night and our service provider can’t fix it until tomorrow.  Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!  Right now I’m at the Coffee Bean sipping my African Sunrise tea while cursing the pastry case. It’s amazing how much I got done last night without the […]
