Forgiveness and Baked Tuna “Meat”balls

From “The Book of Forgiving” by Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu: …the only way to experience healing and peace is to forgive. …Until we can forgive the person who harmed us, that person will hold the keys to our happiness; that person will be our jailor. …When we forgive, we take back control of our own fate and our feelings. …We don’t forgive to help the other person. We don’t forgive for others. We forgive for ourselves. Have you ever been so obsessed about how someone hurt you/your feelings that it becomes the main focus of thought all day? There [...]

Catfish Enchiladas with Creamy Arlo Dofino Havarti

So far, the weather in Boston looks Purrrr-fect! It’s a good thing as well since I’m expecting this year I’ll be out on the course a little bit longer. This morning, I took my foot for a solo run, meaning no Zoey, no Shane. It didn’t feel that great. When I pushed the pace a little, my calf started feeling funny and my leg went weak. Now I’m in a conundrum as to which shoes to wear. A. Performance running shoe which the podiatrist put inserts in or B. More of a shoe which doesn’t have the inserts but has [...]

Guest Post: A Simple Dinner

Simple Spring Dinner: Creamy Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes One of the best parts about spring—other than the sunshine and beautiful weather, of course!—is that it’s probably the easiest time of year embrace healthy eating. Eating well in the winter can be tricky; between holiday goodies and the abundance of cheesy, carb-filled casseroles, it’s easy to go overboard on foods that may not be that great for us. But when spring rolls around and fresh produce comes back into season, we seem to crave fresh, lighter flavors that tend to be healthier than many heavy winter meals. To lighten up your [...]

Road Trippin’ and Kale Slaw with Walnut Crumble

All four of us jumped in the car and went on a holiday road trip. It was a rough start with Shane whining, Zoey leaping front to back, but after a couple of hours, when the dust settled so did the dogs. We spent hours on the road before enjoying a night in a Best Western that only charged $5.00 per dog. ACES! Usually it’s $10 to $20 per four legged friend. The only glitch: The room didn’t have any heat (it was 35 degrees outside) and there were stink bugs hanging on the curtain. We opted for a less [...]

Have you changed? and Dark Coffee Rye Bread

How Have You Changed? Do you ever look at yourself and think “Boy! Have I changed.” I don’t mean just physically but internally as well. Take notice of how different you are today than you were last year. Did you jump on the “get fit” bandwagon? Did you take up a new sport? Did you get a new job? A promotion? Lose a job? Are you in a new relationship? Changes define us. Some are HUGE! They can really bring our lives to a halt and others are simply notations in our daily journal of life. As we get closer [...]
