These are a few of my favorite things...

Just have to rave today about a few of my favs.

If you know me well, you know I TRY to be a health-nut, keep away from sugar, processed foods, ...yadda yadda... but my achillies heel and all-time, always-has-been favorite is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups:...if these little packages of deliciousness didn't exist, it would be a WHOLE LOT EASIER to give up chocolate for Lent, and get better results from some of my other favorites today....unfortunately, somehow a bag of the little egg-shaped versions made it into the house for Easter!

I also love Quinoa, my favorite pseudocereal. It is amazingly high in protein (12-18%) and contains a balanced set of amino acids. It has a slightly nutty flavor, and fun texture. You need to be eating quinoa if you are not already!!! I first was introduced to quinoa when I went to Peru in 2003 and had a granola bar made from it. Anything rice can do, quinoa can do better! TRY IT! We had some for dinner last night. Baby E loves it!
The only abdominal workout that gives me totally flat, fabulous abs, even after having children-- Rotate Turbo Jam Ab Jam & Windsor Pilates Maximum Burn--it WORKS! I am posting this because I JUST FOUND MY MISSING COPY! I had lost it sometime before having baby #3, and I am excited to put it to work again!
...this baby works those obliques--I am telling ya! Be prepared to REALLY feel this one the next day.Windsor Pilates Maximum Burn doesn't feel like a workout at all, but somehow produces amazing results, especially in conjunction with Ab Jam. Not sure how...one of the wonders of the universe, I suppose.

...Just a few things that I felt selfish not sharing....well, except the Reeses, because chances are you already knew about those! Happy Spring!
