Every day is a miracle!

I haven't been posting much these days since my idea of cooking these days is opening a package. I do miss having the time to cook amazing meals for the beautiful souls in my life. Nevertheless, today I felt compelled to send out this thought from Albert Einstein. This is a photo I took over the weekend which I coupled with a spiritual quote from one of the best scientific minds in history. I was awestruck by the beauty of this sunset. Every day and every moment is truly a miracle. Know that in your heart. Namaste, Lala

Gluten-Free Caramel Apple Crisp Recipe

I've been experimenting with more gluten-free recipes these days. My goal is to make food that Mr.T doesn't even notice are gluten free, since he generally turns his nose up at GF foods since some of them don't always taste so great to folks who aren't used to them. Recently, Mr. T purchased way too many red delicious apples from Costco. I'm a bit of an apple snob and I don't eat "teacher" apples so I was a little befuddled as to what to do with them!

Gone Gluten Free - Asiago-Peppercorn Wedge Salad and Chicken Sandwich

So, I've been grossly neglecting my blog. It's largely a combination of not having time to cook and post and a brand new way of eating. I recently eliminated wheat from my diet to see if I had a wheat/gluten intolerance. Low and behold, I believe I do.

Glazed Donut Muffin Recipe

I have no idea what possessed me to try this recipe. Oh right, it was Pinterest. No one can ever say I just pin and never do! These muffins are scrum-dittly-umptious. A couple of caveats. First, don't expect Krispy Kreme. These are more along the lines of a spiced donut. 

Browned Butter & Caramel Banana Muffins

I'm worn out. I mean bone-tired, physically and mentally. Work has been intense and I'm in dire need of a vacation. So this weekend I just took it easy. I caught up on the first season of Scandal and cooked a little bit.

Hearty Breakfast Under 300 Calories - Scrambled Eggs with Cheddar & Chives Recipe

This is a simple and hearty, yet delicious and low-cal, breakfast. Recently I've been trying to make easy low calorie meals that still taste great.  This one is inspired by my one of my favorite childhood breakfasts. I've just omitted the butter, cream and full-fat cheese.

Under 300 Calorie Salads

I'm trying so very hard to lose weight. It's really slow going and the pounds seem to be refusing to come off. I think I might have the slowest metabolism on Earth. So I haven't been posting much on the blog since the meals are pretty uninspired.
