New Year... New Town...

As I said “Goodbye to 2010!” and “Hello to 2011!”, I took a few minutes to look back and reflect on all of the wonderful things I’ve done, the amazing places I’ve been, and the incredible people I spent all the time with.  In 2010, I married the love of my life, moved into “our first place” with my new husband and adorable puppies, spent an amazing honeymoon on Hilton Head Island, finished my second year of pharmacy school and started my third, visited the beautiful city of Chicago for the very first time, and spent many hours with many incredible people.

Last year was absolutely amazing to me, but I know that 2011 is sure to be even more amazing.  To begin another wonderful year, Kyle and I have decided to make a BIG change.  On January 22, we are moving to LOUISVILLE!!!  We had been planning to move in May after I finished my last semester of classes, but we found a perfect townhouse and decided that we are ready to move now!  Having lived in Louisville for the first 18 years of my life, I knew that I’d always go back.  I’m in love with the city and can’t wait for Kyle and I to build our life there.


Louisville is an amazing place with so much to offer and so much to do.  Kyle and I have made lots of plans for how we will spend our time there.  Among them are: running the Kentucky Derby Mini-Marathon in April; visiting the Louisville Zoo, the Slugger Museum, and the Science Center; attending various Derby events like Thunder Over Louisville and the Derby Parade; exploring the many parks throughout the city with our puppies; enjoying long walks down Bardstown Road to taste test the various restaurants along the popular street; and tailgating for UL football games, of course!

We’ve slowly started packing up our house, and I do have to admit that it’s somewhat bittersweet.  Lexington has been wonderful to me and we have really enjoyed our first place.  We will definitely miss Lexington and all it’s charms, and will be sure to visit often.

Louisville should prepare itself though… The Newmans are taking over in 18 days!

Until next time…

Yummy BLT Sandwich…My New Addiction!

I have a confession to make…. I’m in love with food!  I love buying it. I love cooking it. I love reading about it.  And since I began my vegan lifestyle, my interest in new foods has continued to grow.  I’m always looking for new recipes to try, and I'm always trying to come up with creative ways to adjust any recipe to make it vegan-friendly.  One great source of recipes that I’ve discovered is my “fitness magazine” that I receive monthly in the mail.  Every issue offers ideas for lighter healthier meals and recipes.  Check out more recipes at www.fitnessmagazine.com .  While reading the April 2011 issue, I discovered the recipe for my latest addiction: BLT Sandwiches. www.fitnessmagazine.com The Original Recipe: Makes: 4 servings Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 3 minutes ¼ cup fat-free mayonnaise 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar 4 large romaine lettuce leaves, washed and chopped 2 medium red heirloom tomatoes, diced 1 Haas avocado, pitted, peeled...

My New Favorite Sweet Treat...

http://sweetceces.com/index.html Following a vegan diet means no consumption of animal products… No animal products means no dairy… No dairy means no ice cream… And no ice cream means that my selection of sweet and tasty summer treats is extremely limited.   But not to fear, Sweet CeCe’s has come to my rescue! Sweet CeCe’s Frozen Yogurt and Treats is a delicious frozen yogurt shop on Bardstown Road in the Highlands (in Louisville, of course).   My family and I first tried it a few weeks ago and I immediately fell in love.   They have a crazy long list of flavors, and usually offer around 10 different flavors daily, so the available flavors are different each day.   They also have a ton of toppings to choose from…Fruit Loops...Snickers… Oreos… Strawberries… Chocolate Chips... Blueberries… Nuts… Pineapple… and of course cherries to top it all off!   But the list goes on and on and on… The best part about Sweet CeCe’s for me though, is that they always o...
