My Favorite Ab Exercises
Seeing as my current Shabbott’s Habit is “No wait for weights”, I thought that I would share my top 5 favorite ab exercises with you. When I workout my abs I like to feel a good burn, so I try for 25-50 repetitions of each exercise instead of my normal 15. 1. BALL EXCHANGES You can really feel this exercise in your lower abs, which I find is sometimes a hard area to effectively work out. For ball exchanges, I use the smallest exercise ball (not the big one that you do crunches on). To me this is just more … Continue reading
Mango Chipotle Cilantro Chicken
Mango. Chipotle. Cilantro. Chicken. All ingredients that I love. So I knew when I saw the Chipotle-Mango BBQ Chicken over at Pip & Ebby that I had to make it. I made some adjustments (like adding lime zest and brown sugar and subbing red wine vinegar for rice vinegar) to suit my own taste buds, but really the credit goes to Pip & Ebby for their innovative combination of flavors. The great thing about this sauce is that its both sweet and smoky at the same time. I could see this smothered on fish or even used as a condiment … Continue reading
My Real Job
Although the larger part of my week is spent at “work”, I often gloss over my normal work day on the blog. This leaves people wondering what I do for a living. I have unintentionally provided some clues: pictures of my desk, mention of Presbyterian Hospital, some acknowledgment of my job in “about me” lists, references to conferences that I attend and a map my run route of my daily get-out-from-behind-the-desk-lunch-time walk. I have wondered whether telling you more about my job would be too personal, but after performing a quick Google search, realized that you could find most of … Continue reading
Getting caught up
It’s been one of those weeks. The kind of week where you’re so busy that getting a few moments on the couch to just sit and breathe would be glorious. But it doesn’t happen, because you don’t have time. The kind of week where you would have loved to cook a nice meal, but you barely have enough time to grab something out of the fridge. The kind of week where you’re so busy that you forget what day it is. Hello Friday. When did you happen!?!? I’ve been on overdrive for a week people – and let me tell … Continue reading

Hubs Grills
Yesterday was a BEAUTIFUL day in the City, so I called the Hubs out on Facebook in hopes of inspiring some man-grilling. When I got home from work, I was happy to see that the Hubs got the message. Kebabs! Or as my very mature husband likes to say – Keboobs Munchies while the Hubs grilled. Crumbled pita-chip fragments from the bottom of the bag – love these crunchy little bits. Dinner a-la-Hubs was skewered beef, veggies (onions, bell peppers, tomatoes; 1 C serving veg) and pineapple (0.5 C serving fruit), over couscous. And corn on the cob, grilled right … Continue reading

Recipe Mix Up
Something unexpected happened today. I saw a recipe for Bran Flax Muffins on the back of my Bob’s Red Mill package of flax meal and decided that I would make the muffins to share with all of you today. I organized the ingredients, preheated the oven, snapped a bunch of step-by-step photos and baked. Then I tasted them. They’re meh. Not bad. Not great. Because, as the Hubs said “they don’t really taste like anything.” Then I made dinner using a vegetable that I had never cooked with before – Kabocha Squash (wiki it). This round green veggie is sometimes … Continue reading
