Moving back to CA, one of the things I was most looking forward to was having a balcony. A balcony allows me to have two very important things: 1) a BBQ 2) a garden Ok, it’s not quite a garden, yet. But it’s getting there… As an early birthday present from my in-laws, I got organic rosemary, basil, and thyme to give my green thumb a jump start. Since it was raining the other day, I was in a zen kind of mood. I blasted classical music on the iHome and got to work repotting… Read more >

When I was a young thang growing up in CA I loved the rain. In elementary school indoor recesses were a novelty. In junior high and high school, the rain meant we had an excuse to get insanely muddy (yes, I was a bit of a tomboy). Especially playing soccer in the rain…so fun! Cut to my years on the East Coast… In NYC I hated the rain. I’m not really sure what prompted this drastic change of heart, but I suspect it had to do with the fact that there was ALWAYS the chance… Read more >

Warning: I’ve fallen in love with soaking. I may never cook again. Ok, that’s not true, but I don’t think it’s possible to find an easier grain to prep than wheat berries. First of all, they are so freakin’ cheap. How can you resist a meal that’s main component is under a dollar. Not to mention how good for you they are, too! Unlike refined wheat (a process in which the germ and bran layers are removed), wheat berries maintain all three of their parts (the germ/seed, the bran, and the endosperm). Because they are… Read more >

Saturday was sponsored by the letter “b” apparently. Kyle and I woke up at 7 am to get in a morning jog. I hate working out early in the AM, but I love how it frees up the rest of the day. So conflicting. The reason I don’t like rise-and-shine cardio is because I suck at it. I’m slow in the mornings. I don’t really start to function until an hour (or two, if I’m being honest) after I’ve been awake. The route I took Saturday morning typically takes me 24 minutes (when I do… Read more >

It’s 9/29! You didn’t think I’d forget National Coffee Day did you!?!? Not a chance. I’m a tad behind in blogging because I’ve been playing catch-up around the casa. I’ve been productive, but I hardly deserve a pat on the back since it’s all stuff that I should have accomplished last weekend. For breakfast on Tuesday I had a bowl of One Lucky Duck grawnola, cheerios, and bananas on top of greek yogurt. Tuesday I got my running mojo back and after this bowl of deliciousness had digested I set off for a nice 30 minutes… Read more >
