Happy Wednesday everyone! I started my morning with 1/2 a Clif ZBar and a cardio workout – 40 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes of ab work. I couldn’t wait to get home and eat breakfast though. Here’s why: I decided to try out my skills at baked oatmeal last night! It was so […]

Five Years of Blogging Bender {Giveaway}
Five years. Five years since I was a college junior, secretly reading food blogs instead of doing homework. Five years since I moved into my first apartment and said good riddance to dorm food.

Food, Fashion, Fancy

I loved hearing everyone’s perspectives and since there is no right or wrong answer, was interested to see how sometimes our family history and how we were raised plays a role in our decisions. I’m very glad that Heather brought this […]
