Use whatever you have.
Here’s what I used:
I washed all the veggies and then cut them up to whatever specifications I listed above. I set the oven to 350 and put the potatos and corn slices in the pan, and drizzled them with the olive oil, garlic powder, basil and S&P and topping them with the onion slices. I cooked them in the oven for about 30 minutes before I came back to see how they were doing. They said they were fine, but would like some company, so I took the cue and added the asparagus, tomatoes, and zucchini. I baked them for probably another 30 minutes. Be careful that you watch them and stir them so that the more delicate veggies (asparagus, tomatoes, zucchini) don’t get really crispy gross. The timing really all depends on how thick you cut your veggies. I was going for a more rustic, chunk style roast so that’s why mine took so long. Use a bigger pan if you can so they have more surface area touching the pan (it’ll help put a nice crusty coat on them!) My wall oven is a really weird size so I can’t fit bigger pans in it, so I had to adjust accordingly.

Almond Butter Jelly Oatmeal
“it’s like an almond butter jelly smack of goodness to your mouth!”
Time to get out of the breakfast rut. This is so easy to make, hearty, filling, and SWEET (in the sugar way. But ok, fine, in the Napoleon Dynamite way, too.) Read the rest of this entry »

Baby #3 came on December 17th, 2010. It was a long, hard pregnancy riddled with things I can’t even pronounce. But little guy and I made it. I had a goal of only gaining 20 lbs and having a super healthy pregnancy. Isn’t it funny to look back out ourselves, so naive and full of dreams? Grand total weight gain was Read the rest of this entry »

So, where do I start? Many changes have occurred, membership is through the ROOF (I think there are at least 6 participants) and I am super motivated to get into better shape.
A few months ago I was back east visiting my former stomping grounds and came home with a lovely tick bite. Which then turned into Lyme Disease. And Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. And then I found out I was pregnant. Again. (Muffle screams of I JUST HAD A BABY!!!) Read the rest of this entry »

Joining a gym that is.
From my lovely highrise office windows I look out to the sprawling downtown of the metropolis I live in and see a gym. People come, people go. I sit and gawk at them as I eat whatever leftover food I can scavenge from recent board meetings, usually stale chips (the undesirable, leftover flavors) and rancid peanut butter (which coincidentally isn’t so bad.. at first anyhow, then the rancidity hits you like a baseball bat to the face.) I watch all the pretty people go to the gym. Now I hope some fatty will gawk at me as I join the ranks of the pretty people who work out (PPWWO for short.) Read the rest of this entry »

Soooooooooo, I shouldn’t be sitting here with a box of chip ahoy cookies, right? Well, technically I’m not. Because they are in a plastic bag. And half gone. Gone to my stomach. Where they will most likely throw down their roots and hang out for a couple decades. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a long time coming, but finally it happened, by accident really. The other two members of TigerFIT stumbled into my living room this morning and I bored them with some rules.
1st RULE: You talk at TigerFIT meetings. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi. I’ve been nominated to help my friends and family get healthy. This is the blog where I will document this feeble attempt.
