Rooibos Chai Tea

August 20, 2013 By Gwen Brown 137 Comments

Roobios chia tea is a lifesaver.  I love coffee with real cream, even though I didn’t indulge daily.  So it really stunk big time when I discovered that I needed to cut out caffeine.  I was never a huge fan of herbal teas, but on recommendation of friends, I’ve discovered a few really delicious teas…

Lunch: portobello pizza recipe.  Check. Delicious?  Check. Enjoyed without the scrutinizing gaze and looks of disgust from the fungal-phobes…CHECK.

Weekly Menu Planning

July 23, 2013 By Gwen Brown 56 Comments

Weekly menu planning is the best and the worst part of my week.  On one hand, I love having that framework in place to make out a grocery list…a THOROUGH grocery list that ensures that I only make one trip to the grocery store per week.  That’s the goal.  And a girl can dream. I…
