Luke and I exercise at the Y twice a week and try to get out at least once on the weekends for a walk, hike, snowshoeing, . . .something. But we also count calories, this way we don't feel like we are truly on a diet but we portion what we eat and how much of…
Muffin Remix: Cinnamon Oatmeal Pumpkin Muffins
Last week I shared some of my favorite fall recipes (see fall recipe round-up) including a recipe for cinnamon oatmeal apple muffins. As an extra bonus I said I was currently working on a recipe alternative or remix using pumpkin instead of apples. Well here it is! They are just as tasty and hearty for morning breakfast…
Fall Recipe Round-up and Competition

(Did anyone read that post carefully and notice this detail?) Well here's the second one. I happened upon one of those rare occasions…
Tropical Banana Creamsicles
Awhile ago I shared with you that with some of my birthday money I bought popsicle molds. Since then I have been excited to try a variety of tasty frozen treat recipes. My cookies n cream pudding pops with blueberries were eaten up quickly (which I took at a good sign). Since then I have made…
