WIAW #9: Pretty Eggtastic

I apologize for posting a bit later than usual on this wonderful Wednesday before Christmas. My mom woke me up around 6 a.m. to see if I was interested in substitute teaching for the day, and I said yes. Thus, I didn’t have time to write and post my Tuesday eats for WIAW until now.

(Almost) Grownup Lunchbox Series: Goodbye D.C.

Friday marked my last day as a Washington, D.C. intern. Although I’m excited to return home to Florida for the holidays, I can’t seem to pull myself away from the city and its charm.

I’m weird. What 20-year-old college student chooses to grocery shop instead of going out on a Friday night? Me, that’s who. What can … Continue reading »

Reading healthy living blogs has been a part of my daily routine for almost a year now, and it seems as if EVERY food and exercise blogger shares a WIAW post each … Continue reading »

Honey Roasted Chicken Salad

Why have I suddenly fallen in love with yogurt? This is what I asked myself as I inhaled a pita pocket stuffed with honey roasted chicken salad for dinner. Mid mouthful, the answer came to me: oh, I forgot  – I lived on crap until I was 18, so my taste buds couldn’t handle the healthiness of unprocessed, … Continue reading »
