#WIAW- The Juicing Edition
Holy heck it has been buzz light years since I’ve participated in my favorite foodie day of the week. How are you my blog-lings? So I basically failed my healthy eating test for the end of 2012, but 2013 is … Continue reading

#WIAW- Sweet & Healthy
I am no stranger to the sweet tooth. I believe I was born with a palate to only crave sweet things at every meal all the time. While I’ve made previous attempts to divert my tastes towards the “right pathway … Continue reading

#WIAW- Guess Who’s Back, Back Back, Back Again…
No, I’m sorry to disappoint you, Shady is not back again. Unless you count the other day when I walked into the gym through a separate entrance to avoid the chatty cathies…and they approached me as a team of flesh-eating … Continue reading

#WIAW- I Eat Rainbows

#WIAW- Falling Into Apple Orchards and Pumpkin Flavor
