Running Really Is for Crazy People

July 14, 2011

I read an awesome guest blog at Healthy Tipping Point the other day titled “Running is for Crazy People.”  It documented the guest blogger’s journey from an unhealthy lifestyle to becoming a health and fitness nut and avid runner.   It was a really great post that I strongly recommend, particularly if you’re a newbie at […]

I’m Baaa-aaack!

July 13, 2011

You know you missed me.  3 days without notjustacarnivore.  Yikes! The past few days have been crazy.  Hectic.  Insane.  Hell.  But by 5pm on Friday, I’ll have finished my masters degree (in nothing to do with food, health, the body, or nutrition, mind you) and will have time to cook again.  Promise. Of course, during […]

The Art of Masochism

July 10, 2011

Learning to be healthy isn’t just about the food you put into your body, although that’s certainly a large part of it.  It’s also about exercise.  And, most importantly, about mental health.  I may not be the right person to talk about that last one. A normal, healthy mind, for instance, might not have broken […]

Taking the Pet Snake Out to Play

July 9, 2011

I started today off in completely the wrong way.  After a lifetime of dealing with the hassle of hypoglycemia, I’ve discovered that a morning protein shake with soy milk is absolutely the best way to stabilize my blood sugar for the day.  This can’t be my full breakfast, but it’s the primary staple, so I […]

Just Because It’s Ice Cream Doesn’t Mean It’s Bad For You!

July 8, 2011

I feel like I’m writing a lot about food I get elsewhere lately and not much about what I cook.  I guess that’s the problem with travelling so much.  At least I’m in my own time zone this weekend. John and I headed to Greenville, SC last night to finalize our wedding menu this morning […]

Did someone say crepes?

July 8, 2011

Let me just start by saying that I could eat crepes everyday.  Seriously.  It’s a good thing I don’t know of a good crepe joint in Atlanta.  Speaking of, anyone know of a good crepe joint in Atlanta? Okay, so I may not know of any good crepe places near me…and I may never have […]

“Flexitarian”: Crab Cakes and Veggies

July 6, 2011

I was bumming time between appointments in one of my favorite little boutiques today, actually looking for bridesmaids gifts, but I walked out with only one purchase, and it was for myself: Whole Foods Diet Cookbook, by Ivy Ingram Larson and Andrew Larson, MD. If it hadn’t been for the bright colors of the book, […]

A Texas 4th of July: BBQ

July 5, 2011

I’m baaaack!  After being thrown totally off schedule by spending two weekends in a row in Texas with very limited (and expensive) internet access, I’m finally back to tell you about all my adventures and start keeping up with this blog regularly again – cooking healthily, not eating terribly. Although I must admit that eating […]

Spice Up Your Oatmeal: Berries

June 30, 2011

It’s one of the first things that comes to mind when we try to invision a healthy, easy breakfast: oatmeal.  It’s bland.  It’s boring.  It’s no way to wake up in the morning.  So lately, I’ve been reading lots of other blog posts and getting creative on my own, trying to come up with ways […]

Food Blog Fail: Austin is Amazing

June 28, 2011

Sorry for the absence, all!  I went out of town this weekend and I haven’t quite learned how to incorporate the food blog into travel yet.  Like I said at first, this is a learning experience. Sadly, I didn’t take any pictures of the food while we were there (again, still learning), but I definitely […]
