Answers to my 11 Questions (asked by Lisa):

1. What’s your favorite meal? I love eggplant parmesan with a big salad and piece of fresh, Italian bread

2. Dogs or cats? I've had both... I like the low-maintenance aspect of a cat but the loyalty and playfulness of a dog 

3. If given one million dollars, how would you spend it? I would love to buy a small farm (no animals, just rolling acres for our viewing pleasure) with a charming farmhouse - all fixed up to our liking, with an exterminator contract naturally. I would also take care of a select few family/friends' small debts or wishes. I would hire an agent to help me publish my children's book along with the many others I would write at said charming farmhouse. (Charmhouse hehe). Some would go into my daughter's bank account and the rest we would try to live simply with    

4. Do you prefer biking or walking as a mode of transportation? Walking. I always feel so silly on a bicycle

5. What’s the fitness goal you’ve accomplished that makes you most proud? Honestly, I am just happy that I'm able to start using my ab muscles again. After the C-section I had a hell of a time recovering and now to make it through any workout is a triumph for me

6. What is the best dish that you make? I asked my husband and he said my pasta with homemade Italian gravy with or without the grilled chicken parmesan 

7. Which kitchen utensil do you use most often? My spatula for daily egg-white omelets

8. Brussels sprouts: friend or foe? LOVE!!!!!

9. Would you wake a sleeping baby? Mine? Yes, all the time. Yours? No. Never ever ever
