in A day in the life

Today’s “a day in the life” is the gorgeous Steph of Steph’s Bite by Bite. If you’re new to her blog, it is a fun mix of food, life, and fitness. All captured in beautiful pictures! I can’t wait to try some of her recipes, including her breakfast margaritas (!), lime poppy-seed doughnuts, and apple and squash pizza.

I had cooked, frozen, cubed chicken breast in the freezer that I thawed and threw in his after I dished mine up. He opted for no eggs, but still loved his version with chicken.

Am I totally psychotic if it drives me nuts that Cheez-its is spelled with a Z? Don’t answer that. Did you know that the best combination in the world (okay…maybe “the world” is a bit of an exaggeration) is Cheez-Its and Diet Coke? The Cheez-Its are best if they are on the extra brown side, [...]

I know Thursdays are usually book review days, but let’s be honest, you all aren’t that crazy about those. I’ll still do them occasionally because I think they are a good resource to some people…but this is far more important. Something I am crazy about is these strawberries. It isn’t the first time that I [...]

Am I obsessed with granola? Perhaps. Do you mind? If you’re a traditionalist, I have Pecan Almond Granola. If you’re a caffeine addict, there’s the mocha granola. And now, Vanilla Bean Granola. Because I’m also obsessed with vanilla beans. Exhibit A, B, C, D and E. I’m also obsessed with popcorn and chocolate chips but that’s an entirely different [...]
