Phoenix...

With weather like this

I don't feel weird for eating summery food like this

That would be one 0% Strawberry Chobani, layered with tons of berries. Served in a martini glass, naturally. It's good to be back in Arizona but I sure do miss this little one

An important dinner

Tonight I'm making dinner for my boyfriend and his mom. I haven't spent much time with her since she's been here and I'm kind of nervous.
The Menu:

Green Salad

Homemade Chicken Pot Pies (veggies+white meat chicken+ chicken broth+ Fat Free Sour Cream)
They are way lightened up and only have a crust on the top (I would estimate about 8 points)

Homemade Chocolate Tart. (Okay, so not light. Not at all, but a little piece will be okay)

Fingers crossed that it goes well.

salad BEAST

I'll admit, I am absolutely addicted to other health and fitness blogs. Especially the Fitnessista. She has awesome workouts for all abilities and availabilities. I especially love that she calls salads with lots of yummy and healthy toppings "salad beasts" I have adopted this term into my everyday vocabulary. So what exactly is a salad beast? While I was home for Christmas, my parents and I went to a salad bar and I made a salad beast...



I started with a bed of romaine and kale and added peppers, onions, shredded carrots, roasted garlic, roasted beets, craisins, and olives topped with some parmesan snow. I had a side of fat free orange poppyseed dressing but it wasn't needed.

And some people say salads are boring? If your salad is boring, get creative!
