Tonight’s dinner was an exciting change from the boring rut I’ve been in lately. I made Spicy Orange Chicken Skewers and my mom made a delicious cauliflower side that taste like a nutty rice pilaf without the carbs! Seriously, it was delicious and I can’t believe I haven’t tried it before. For the chicken, I [...]
This weekend was a rare summer occasion. I stayed in the city! The weather looked awful and I had a ton of packing to do. Friday night, Roomie and I went out for sushi on Newbury Street. We were sat right away outdoors which never happens at Snappy Sushi. It was refreshingly chilly, a nice [...]
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 [...]
Sarah Fit Granola Bars (Gluten Free, High Protein) Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes 1/2 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (may use regular milk, coconut milk, soy milk) 2 tbsp Honey 1 medium Banana 1 1/2 cup of Old Fashioned Rolled Oats 1/2 cup Almond Meal 3 tbsp Coconut, shredded raw 2 tsp Cinnamon 2 servings Vanilla Protein Powder like Jay Robb Whey or Vega Sport Vanilla 1/4 cup Almonds 1/4 cup Golden Raisins Preheat oven to 350F. … If I had cut the above into 10 servings, each bar would have 146 calories, 5.4 g of fat, 19.5 g of Carbohydrates, 3 g of fiber, 7.8 g of sugar, and 6.8 g of protein: a perfect 3:1 carb to protein ratio for after your workout.
Roomie requested whole almonds.
Last night, I had the privilege to volunteer at a charity event in Boston to support Youk’s Kids. 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Today is National Gingerbread House day. I’m not sure what that means, but recently I decorated my own at 57 Chestnut in Beacon Hill. It was so much fun! I went with a group of girls from the Junior League. We had to make a reservations months in advance. It apparently is quite the tradition [...]
About a month ago, I posted a recipe from Practical Recipes For One on my Tumblr blog. Ashley, the author of the blog, lives in New York City but is from Boston. While home for the Holidays, she invited me over for a home cooked meal as a thank you for sharing the post. All [...]
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 [...]
