Sweetened coconut vs. unsweetened coconut – who’s the winner? To me, the winner is pretty obvious – SWEETENED coconut tastes so much better than unsweetened, especially on top of oatmeal!   Sweetened coconut is fluffy and delicious.  And sweet, of course! Unsweetened coconut is hard and bland tasting.  :( I did a side-by-side taste test [...]

Good morning! So sorry for the delay – I was running.  :)  Before I left, I had PB toast: And then I slathered sunscreen all over myself because I had read a post about skin cancer on Oh She Glows.  I have been really bad about sunscreen on my long runs.  In the past, I’ve [...]

It’s official!  We’ll be spending our first wedding anniversary in England! We’re flying to London on Christmas Eve and spending 10 days in the Husband’s homeland.  We last went to England in 2006 for our college graduations.  I was looking through our old photographs and I couldn’t help but say, “Dang! I wish I had [...]

1. WORKED!  A lot.  :)   2. Filled out the application for my passport name change.  We are going to England for Christmas!  :) 3.  Drove to the pharmacy and got my photograph taken for my new passport.  It looks like a mug shot.  Oh well, I only have to live with it for the [...]

I am so flattered to be hosting Week 52 of BSI!  :)  BSI stands for Blogger Secret Ingredient.  BSI has been going on in the blog world for almost one full year.  Each week, a new host picks an ingredient and anyone (food blogger or not) can submit a recipe.  BSI is such a cool [...]

Sorry for the lack of posting last night… I needed to disengage from the computer!  The Husband was feeling sick so I took care of him, and we watched Adventureland, which was pretty good.   I also filled out my Disney Marathon application: Today is Recommitment Day for Team in Training.  I’m running the Disney [...]

Can you believe I’ve been friends with Megan since June 6 and I haven’t been inside her apartment yet? A while back, Megan said that I could use her apartment gym (mine is terrible) whenever I wanted and I decided to stop by and take her up on her offer.   Her gym is LOVELY!  [...]

Another use for the glorious Pumpkin Dip! Pumpkin Dip was the star of my oatmeal this morning (actually, I had breakfast at 11:30 because I slept until 10!).  This dip is amazing, and thank goodness we have leftovers!  Can’t lets this go to waste.  :) My oatmeal contained:   1/2 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup water [...]

We won! We won!  :)  Actually, we crushed FAMU 48 to 16. It was an excellent night for football!   The ride down to Miami was fun.  We listened to The Game’s Documentary and did a fair share of rapping. I also did some work on the laptop. :)   My light lunch consists of [...]

Update your Google Readers! http://www.healthytippingpoint.com/feed   I am SO glad it’s Friday.  I’m pooped and need to go to bed early tonight. By the way, James feels much better after his brush with death on Monday.  He’s back to his old self.  I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but James talks – if [...]

Today has been one of those days when I’m eating like a “real person,” not a “food blogger.”  AKA I’m grabbing food from the kitchen like I’m not photographing the choices and putting them on the Internet for thousands of people to see.  :)  Whoops.  Don’t judge!   Post-nap cereal (Cascadian Farms Cinnamon Crunch): And [...]
