Happy 2017!

By

For some odd reason I’ve been thinking it was 2017 for a while now. But now it’s officially here. It wasn’t the most dramatic new year weekend, but it was a solid one full of champagne and black eyed peas ; )

My favorite wine club now offers bubbly, and the bottle above, which I opened during cocktail hour, was fantastic.

Saturday morning I had a cinnamon raisin bagel from Bodos with cream cheese, and pear. The bagel was delicious! It also kept me full through early afternoon (although I did eat a later breakfast).

Mid-afternoon after a trip to the gym, I had a chocolate Vega smoothie made with banana, peanut butter, spinach and milk. We had early dinner plans, and I wanted to save up my appetite!

After hosting some friends with bubbly at home, I joined a party of five for dinner at Maya. Maya does southern food just right. You can’t go without getting the pimento cheese fritters with red pepper jelly! I also had some cornmeal-fried oysters and a kale salad to start, plus a glass of red.

For my main course I ordered catfish, one of my favorites, with the BEST cheese grits and collard greens.

We shared some Mississippi Mud pie for dessert and headed home to ring in the new year from the couch. No fancy parties this year, as Mazen was sleeping at home and I had a 10:00 curfew : )

Luckily that mean no hangovers, and a fresh start to the new year! I made this big brunch of eggs, bacon, grapefruit and an extra bagel half.

We spent a lot out time outside in temps near 60 degrees!

Including a nice little 5K run.

We headed to a friend’s house for New Year’s Day dinner and enjoyed appetizers and a full good-luck dinner of black eyed peas, bacon collards, pork, and cornbread.

I had the BEST peanut butter buckeyes for dessert, and I must find the recipe! They had rice crispies inside and were lighter than some of the other buckeyes I’ve had.

Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend. Tomorrow I am sharing a post with my 2017 Word of the Year. Stay tuned!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
