So this summer, part of my goal is to get into healthier eating and exercise habits. I've rejoined Weight Watchers to keep me accountable for what I eat and how often I exercise. Thus far it has been a successful endeavor! In being more aware of what I eat, I have been cooking more and experimenting with a few new things...Made my own combo called hot corn. The recipe included sweet corn cut from the cob, pancetta, crushed red pepper, salt n' pepper, olive oil, & garlic. YUM! It goes really well with chicken! If you want the recipe just let me know.

Also during a grocery run to Wegmans, I came across something sinfully wonderful; Talenti Caramel Cookie Crunch Gelato..........no words, you just have to try this for yourself.



I desperately want to try their Hill Country Peach Champagne gelato next! So yes, the Talenti is my exception to super healthy eating, but hey, a girl has to have some sort of sweets in her life :)


Trying to eat more fresh fruits & veggies and lay off the starches. Enjoying LOTS of pineapple and watermelon! Turkey and salmon burgers have been a regular on the George Foreman as well as grilled veggies and drinking lots of sweet tea. It's summer, so what better time to enjoy these foods?!

Tomorrow I am going to venture forth into the madness that is the Capital Hill 4th of July festivities...eek! I am only going down for the am to see the parade then will be heading to the harbor in Baltimore for fireworks that evening. Very excited to spend part of my 4th of July, the first I've had off work in 4 years, at our Nation's Capital. Will update with event details later!
