My first day at Canyon Ranch was amazing. It was a great mix of stimulating activity and pure relaxation. Basically, it was the best of both worlds. Breakfast I woke up hungry and excited for breakfast this morning. After last night’s delicious dinner, I was really looking forward to breakfast. It’s by far my favorite [...]

Good morning! Happy Hump Day! I hope your day is off to a great start! Murphy literally RAN back to bed after he ate his breakfast this morning. Apparently, he’s not a fan of Wednesdays. Breakfast This morning’s breakfast was an oldie, but goodie: Van’s waffles with Teddie peanut butter and banana slices. It hit [...]

It’s pretty much everything you’ll ever need for starting out with Paleo and a whole-foods lifestyle. The first part [...]

Murphy has a one-track mind. Yesterday afternoon, Mal brought home a new bag of dog food. Obviously, Murphy was excited. And, of course, he didn’t want to miss a thing as Mal poured it into the storage bin. He also made sure to eat all of the dropped pieces. No food goes to waste in [...]
