Let's Get Started.

For a long time, I've wanted to publish a blog so I could share the healthy recipes I've created.  However, I know I'll want to say a lot more here than just sharing recipes.  Being healthy is a journey; it's about so much more than just food.  I think it involves putting myself out there and having new experiences and making the world a better place.  

I've set a goal to experience something new in Dallas each month of 2013.  So, each month I'll blog about my new adventure and hopefully post some photos.  In between, I'll share healthy recipes and maybe even some book reviews.  Oh, and don't be surprised if you see occasional photos of my cat, Lola, my reactions to BBC dramas, and stories about my nephew.  These things are part of my adventures too.

I started out as a journalist and writer, but I quickly turned to teaching as a way to earn an actual income.  In the ten years since I finished undergraduate school, I've missed writing, and I hope this will be an outlet for me to write about the things I know best...my everyday life and loves.  Enjoy the blog!

Making Sense of Some Of It

I haven't done so well with blogging regularly, but I'm inspired to do better.  It was a crazy school year and an even crazier spring, so I welcome summer with open arms.  I've had lots of adventures and tried several new things, so I'll have to post about some of them eventually.  But for now, I'll just focus on the present. It's been a busy week for the first official week of summer break.  I had a job interview for a summer tutoring position, went to dinner at an amazing family's home, attended a thought-provoking book club meeting, and met a wonderful friend for coffee.  I've had so many opportunities for communication and re-evaluation of the school year that I can't help but be reflective.  Every single one of these events has been a reminder (in some way or another) of my need to write in order to deepen my understanding of the world around me. People often tell me that I need to write about (fill in the blank), but I never really follow t...

Indoor Grilling

Tonight's dinner was inspired by my good friends Rebecca and Jeremy.  They are grilling gurus, so when I go to their house, we often dine al fresco on something delicious they've grilled up.  The last time I was there, Jeremy grilled bacon-wrapped shrimp, and I've been drooling over it ever since. Maybe it's the heat or maybe I'm just craving something different, but I have only been hungry lately for food cooked on a grill.  One of the (few) downsides of living in an apartment is that I can't have a proper grill.  Sure, I could trek all the way to the common area grills, but the heat, bugs, and my summer clothing style (best described as homeless chic) aren't something I want to deal with in public.  So, I've been trying to come up with a creative way to replicate bacon-wrapped goodness that doesn't require actual grilling skills or totally bust my calorie allotment.  I finally tried it out tonight with chicken, and it was amazing!  I love being a...
