Day 6 of Metamorphosis or getting back on track

I decided to count only the days of training. Hence, today was my day 6 with a rest day in between 5 and 6.I dont know whether it is just the rest day, or a rest day spent in a not such a healthy manner, but it was actually harder to workout today. DC was a killer, and MS a murderer :) DC still gives me a great kick, I like it. I feel my calves muscles developing from all the jumping,...

Vegan Carrot Cake Cookies

I hope everyones week is going well.  We have had a busy whirlwind of the last week or so!  Kevin and I finally (FINALLY!) joined a local gym last week.  We have put this off for a while, (1) because we are still working on paying school loans and trying to save money wherever we can, and (2) we did not want to be part of that notorious...

ROAST BEEF FRESH TOMATO PASTA

Winter is here and it is definitely the time for Sunday roasts. I loved the sound of this recipe as it also included pasta. It is inspired by a dish called "macaronde" which was bought to France by the emigrants from Italy. I have a phobia against proper roasts due to bad childhood memories so this alternative is right up my street! It took just over...
