  • The Dewey Beach Restaurant

    There’s a new restaurant in Pass-A-Grille Beach. I think it’s the third restaurant that’s been at this location, but I’m thinking this one will actually stick.

  • Salmon + Broccoli

    It’s that time of year– Publix has fresh, wild-caught Alaskan sockeye salmon 😋 AAAAAAAAND it’s currently on sale for $9.99/lb as opposed to like $19.99/lb.

  • OTF Transformation Challenge Days 1-3

    June 27, 2018 Monday was the start of the aforementioned transformation challenge and round 2 of my Whole30. Unfortunately I am not doing a true Whole30 because part of the challenge is food logging on the My Fitness Pal app. I didn’t even make it past day 1 anyway because Monday evening I made Wonton…

  • Whole30 Round 1 update/results

    I broke Whole30 on what would have been day 21. I am happy to say that it was not due to a moment of weakness– it was by definite choice. It was Sunday, April 8. My husband and I went out to an Indian lunch buffet. It is a newer place in north St. Pete…

  • Whole30 Day 1

    Day 1 was a breeze. In the morning I had a Whole30 compliant coffee creamer.  I didn’t have time to make breakfast at home so at some point during work I made some eggs and ate them with salsa and strawberries. ‘ The afternoon was so busy so I didn’t have time to make lunch…
