Hi, I'm Michelle! I'm a 24-year-old health-conscious foodie living in a small town in West Texas with my husband, Edgar, and our chihuahua-mutt, Maggie! I'm just trying to live and eat as well as I can.

It is late-February and I’m already in the mood for fall.
Actually, being in the mood for fall is something that happens to me approximately 10-11 months out of the year.
With the weather becoming more temperate with the approach of spring, I can imagine the fall season more easily, but I have [...]
Notice anything different? I’m finally on my own domain! I also have a new header! So check it out if you’re reading this from an email or RSS feed!
Today I skipped choir rehearsal to stay home and hang out with Edgar, who was home sick, but able to be up [...]
During my visit to Sun Harvest this past weekend, I picked up a can of black lentils. I wanted to do something simple with them, so I thought up a soup using the quinoa and red kale I had also just bought. I scoured the internet for a recipe to work from. This recipe [...]
…Or so it feels like.
Our trip to Lubbock started later than we were planning, so we ended up grabbing breakfast at the convenience store on our way out of town. Gas stations in Plainview are not known for having good healthy options. A V-8 Fusion and a bag of trail mix was the [...]
With a practically empty fridge+pantry, a replenished bank account, and an epic two-page shopping list, I’m off to Sun Harvest (and other places) in Lubbock to replenish my wares!
Later!
Not having a great deal of food in the house paired with the fact that I’m trying to limit cow’s dairy can be lame sometimes.
Or inspire creativity.
Yesterday I packed a quick breakfast to eat at my desk.
Blackberries, blueberries, and pomegranate swimming in light coconut milk, with the last of my [...]
Quick post. Mondays are crazy for me. My day began at 7am and between work, three choir rehearsals, and Zumba, I didn’t get to rest until I got home at 8pm.
I regret not the incessant choir, though. We get to sing this:

And not to mention a billion other songs. [...]
Hey everyone! Peeps just left and I’ve finally got my accent video done!
I don’t really have a lisp, so I don’t know what that was about. But now that I hear myself, I do kinda have a Southern accent. I blame Plainview. I sound like a hick every time I visit my [...]
Haven’t we had enough??
It’s been snowing off and on for the past week.
Yesterday we actually reached above freezing for the first time all week.
Neither classes nor offices closed at any time due to inclement weather. I guess they figure that Plainview is such a small town that any [...]
Speaking of bacon…
It makes the perfect salad.
I’ve said before that I’m not big on salad, but just like I prefer nutty/fruity/cheesy salads, I LOVE avocado-y/bacon-y salads!
This baby had romaine, spinach, a boiled egg, BACON, avocado, some bits of deli turkey, parmesan, and some pomegranate arils for a sweet crunch. [...]
