Better late never! Love to see blooming flowers in the winter. No snow here this time. Thank goodness! Hope you are having a great Sunday. #amaryllis #bloomingflowers #flowers #prettyflowers #flowersinwinter #christmasflowers
Ever get the urge to turn up the music and tear your house apart and clean like a crazy woman!??! Well that’s what I’m doing today. This Super Coffee by @drinksupercoffee is giving me the boost I need. I bought it on a whim and I am pleasantly surprised. Taste is good and no lactose, zero sugar, no gluten, no carrageenan and no sugar alcohol and it has 10 grams of protein. So I will get back at it before it wears off lol! Hope you are having a great Saturday! #supercoffee #energy #coffeeislife #coffeelover
Made the banana oatmeal pancakes I posted about yesterday for the hubs this morning and......(drum roll please) ...he loved them! I added a bit of cinnamon along with blueberries and walnuts to the pancakes. He was pleasantly surprised. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks @modern_honey for such a yummy healthy recipe. The sun is finally out here today and it is such a welcome sight. Since Halloween we have only had 5 days of sun. Football 🏈 today. Have a great Sunday. #healthyfood #husbandapproved #pancakes #glutenfree #recipes #easyrecipes
If you would have said pancakes that are dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, oil-free and butter free to me, I would have said yuk! But these banana oatmeal pancakes from @modern_honey have changed my mind. Seriously these are incredible! When I read the post from Melissa I was skeptical but curious. So I made them this morning for the dogs and I 😀 figured we better try them before I give them to hubs. Wow. They are so easy and delicious. I am not a fan of banana flavored things but the flavor is so subtle. This recipe is a keeper. I have to decided to broaden my cooking repertoire by trying recipes that are healthy alternatives to some of our favorites. This was a good start. I can’t wait for my doubting husband to try them 😉 Hope you have a great Saturday. Rainy day here but a good day for the kitchen. Football 🏈 later 😁 #healthybreakfast #healthypancakes #pancakes #breakfast #bananapancakes #yum #tasty #glutenfreedairyfree
Happy 2019! I hope your year is filed with health and happiness. We rang in the New Year at @cellaiosteak and it was incredible! The Caesar salad was served in a chilled dish, which always scores extra points with me. The shrimp cocktail was cooked perfectly served on a bed of ice. The polenta was creamy and decadent with bacon, truffles, and mushrooms. The filet was cooked perfectly and served beautifully. But that baked potato! The potato had a crusty skin and creamy center and was served with mascarpone, scallions, and prosciutto. The grand finale to this meal was a mascarpone cheesecake with huckleberries. This was a dining experience that appealed to the eyes as well as the taste. To top it all off the service was impeccable. It was a perfectly indulgent way to ring in the new year. We are watching the Rose Bowl Parade and college games today. Enjoy your first day of 2019. And @cellaiosteak we will be back! #nyedinner #steakdinner #steakhouse #diningexperience #finedining #ringingin2019
Getting my New Years on 😂 listening to disco and prepping these Korean BBQ wings for the bowl games tomorrow. Going out this evening to ring in the New Year with hubs. Looking forward to a 2019 filled with good health, love and laughter. I am not one to make resolutions as all too often they set us up for failure and some time in January we feel bad about our failed resolutions. I resolve every day to be a better me. Hope you are having a great day. #nye #resolutions #wings #koreanbbq #disco #bepositive #nonegativity
