Back on Track

by TheHealthyHostess | Aug 18, 2008 | Breakfast/Brunch

It felt great to start the morning off with a run! Katie (who just got engaged last night, yay!!!!) and I ran about 4-4.5 miles. She had lots of energy from her great news and I had lots of energy because I haven't run in a few days. We were happy to get it out of...

Ashley's Amazing Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

by TheHealthyHostess | Aug 17, 2008 | Recipes

Thank goodness/Too bad Ashley made these delicious desserts because they kept us full all weekend. It was great because they were low-fat and healthy, but it was bad because we ate them ALL weekend! How were we supposed to resist though!? Ashley's Amazing...

Lake Weekend Update!

by TheHealthyHostess | Aug 17, 2008 | Lunch, Snack

We just got back from an amazing weekend full of friends, fun and food (also drinking 🙂 )! It was so relaxing to be boating and hanging out at the lake. I was pretty impressed with how healthy we were (minus the drinking), but then Ashley and I were in running...

Toast Tarts

by TheHealthyHostess | Aug 15, 2008 | Breakfast/Brunch, Recipes

The sun was shining in Columbus so after eating at least a cup of fresh blueberries, my mom and I went for a 4ish mile walk. When we got home we made breakfast. I said it was similar to a breakfast tart, but she disagrees. Apparently, it is missing the light,...

Good start…Not so good finish

by TheHealthyHostess | Aug 14, 2008 | Breakfast/Brunch, Lunch

I had a great and healthy start to my day. I decided to try making oatmeal with egg whites, like many people have been lately! 🙂 At first I was not sure that I liked it. The flavor was different and the texture was too. I kept thinking it should be sweet, but...

Sorta Good-Sorta Gross

by TheHealthyHostess | Aug 13, 2008 | Dinner, Recipes

Tonight, after 45 min. on the elliptical while reading Good in Bed, I was in the mood to cook an easy summery dinner. Brady had b-ball after work , so I knew I could wait until 8pm to eat or eat on my own. I decided to eat on my own because I knew I would snack for 3...

Already 2pm?

by TheHealthyHostess | Aug 13, 2008 | Breakfast/Brunch, Dinner, Recipes

How is already 2:00pm? This day has flown by. I had a meeting at school that lasted 3 1/2 hours, so that was the majority of the day. Now on to my hurry -up-and-do-before-school-starts list. Unfortunately it is growing instead of shrinking! On to the food:...

Parade of Leftovers

by TheHealthyHostess | Aug 12, 2008 | Dinner, Lunch

We have made so many different things in the past few days that our fridge is filled with tupperware containers of "goodies" that we don't want to go bad! Brady told me I was not allowed to go to the grocery store until our fridge was empty! He knows that is one of...

Berry Breakfast To-Go

by TheHealthyHostess | Aug 12, 2008 | Breakfast/Brunch

Today's oatmeal was pretty normal with oats, oat bran, wheat bran, flax, banana, vanilla, water, and a tiny bit of salt. I then added some blueberries and strawberries! I was starving for this breakfast after a morning run and a shower. I ate it in the car on the...
