Chocolate Orange Nut Balls

For some reason the chocolate-orange combination reminds me of Christmas. Maybe it's because of those chocolate oranges wrapped in foil, or maybe it's because of  these orange cookies dipped in chocolate one of my mom's friends used to make at Christmastime. Either way, just because I think of Christmas when eating these nut balls...

Frozen Mochachino

As the temperature in Indiana is getting in the 90s one last time (hopefully), I'm taking advantage of the hot weather and drinking/eating as many cold things as I can. Iced coffees, Paleo fudgesicles, watermelon, smoothies, etc. I figure, why not? I most likely won't be having these things in the fall and winter so might as well eat them...

Well, nothing, except for the zucchini. Yes, my father is one of those strange people who refuses to eat vegetables in his baked goods. But pumpkin is okay to have in them...

Breakfast Hash

This could actually be called Everything-But-The-Kitchen-Sink Hash because you can really put anything in it. All those leftovers from several nights before, you know, the roasted or raw vegetables, chicken, hotdogs, burgers (vegan or otherwise), pasta, etc. Everyone has leftovers and lots of people get stuck in the boring leftover routine....

It's Time For An Update...

Okay, time for a day-in-the-life post. I know how you all love those. ;) Recently (meaning just a couple days ago) I decided I wanted to do a triathlon. I've discovered that I need motivation to work out otherwise I feel like I'm doing it all for nothing. Which I know I'm not, but physical change isn't a big enough motivation for me to get off my butt and work out five days a week. I need goals. The feeling I get when I accomplish...
