What's for dinner tonight?

Marinating as we speak - chicken in lime and olive oil (salt and peppers to taste)

Cooling off as we speak - Dr. Oetker's organic brownies. I still hate my oven so these were made in my mini-tins in the toaster oven

I think I'm making a veggie too. Something's in the freezer or I can add some baby carrots I know have in the fridge. 

I love Mondays!

I suddenly have the need for some sweet sticky goodness!

Really interesting City Room piece in the NYTimes today about the "Cupcake Craze" 

Personally, I hope it never fizzles out!!

Brown Bag!

I have started, what I hope will be a good and helpful habit for myself now that it's back to work. I have only 50quick minutes for lunch, some of this time is almost always taken up by something else. So really half an hour is more like it. It's too early for pizza (and too unhealthy) and the deli line is getting to be a long wait. So I'm bringing my lunch. Here's what I've got for back to school. 

~Whole great bread

~Honey Turkey

~Swiss

~Lettuce

~Tomato

~Avacado

~Mustard

The avacado is just a treat for this week. But it's a yummmy treat. I've been trying to bring some fruit & gold fish as well. Luna bar too yummmy my healthier way to get something sweet. And of course water. No more twice a day habit of vitamin waters. So I'm drinking water at lunch and saving the sweet drinks for dinner. I'm making small changes that I hope to start to feel better from. Happy lunching!
