Clean Eating & Simple Dinner Ideas

by Sarah on April 5, 2012

It’s that time again when I finally hook up my digital camera and share what I’ve been having for dinner these days. I’ve been pretty busy and loving simple recipes that are easy to calculate the calories since I’m writing down everything I eat for 10 days. I don’t have recipes because I usually do [...]

It’s an organization that was started by Red Sox star Kevin Youkilis and the Junior League helped staff volunteers. Youk’s Kids mission is to create a community of support, increase awareness and advocate for the health and [...]

The Post-Holiday Guide To Preventing Weight Gain

by Sarah on December 27, 2011

There are two things I look forward to on Christmas when it comes to indulging. My mother’s coffee cake for breakfast and grasshopper pie for dessert. Both are tradition and both are far from being healthy. Since I attempt to eat clean most days, it seems like I always eat too much. I never learn [...]

Food In My Belly

by Sarah on December 20, 2011

Someone on YouTube asked me to post a video on what I eat in a typical day. I have tried to do this here on my blog but find it difficult to keep up. Similarly, I have trouble writing down what I eat. I get hungry, I eat. I forget to take a picture in [...]

100-calorie Pumpkin Pie Dessert Bars

by Sarah on November 21, 2011

Today I have a recipe that I’m pretty pumped to share with all of you. It’s a combination of a few recipes and any similarities to other recipes are coincidence as I promise I whipped it up on my own. After reading about Chocolate Covered Katie’s usage of chickpeas in baked goods, I was determined [...]

Screaming Baby on a Red Eye Flight

by Sarah on November 17, 2011

Last night, I took the red eye home to Boston from Los Angeles. I slept for maybe 5 minutes. It was miserable. I had an aisle seat which is not a good seat to have on red eye because you have nothing to rest your head against, and you need to get up if anyone [...]
